The webMethods
Tuxedo Adapter is an add-on to the webMethods
Integration Server that enables you to exchange data between a webMethods Integration Server and the Tuxedo server via the
BEA Jolt server. The Tuxedo Adapter provides seamless and real-time
communication with Tuxedo. The Tuxedo Adapter provides user interfaces that
enable you to configure and manage adapter connections and adapter services.
The adapter services are linked to specific Tuxedo services and can be used on
their own or included in flows built to implement business processes.
Using the functionality provided by the
adapter, a client can connect to the Jolt server and invoke Tuxedo services.
For example, you can use the Tuxedo Adapter to create a service that updates
account information from a Tuxedo application.
Tuxedo Adapter services allow you to connect
to the Jolt server and initiate services on the Tuxedo server from the
Integration Server. The Tuxedo Adapter provides a single adapter service
template for synchronously invoking services in Tuxedo applications via the BEA
Jolt interface. This user-interface-based template makes it easy to develop
adapter services to interact with Tuxedo applications. The adapter service
template contains all the code necessary for interacting with the Jolt server
but without the data specifications. You provide these specifications when you
configure a new adapter service.
The Tuxedo Adapter enables you to establish
and manage connections to your Jolt server, which in turn connects to your
Tuxedo server. Connections, connection pools, and sessions are fully managed by
the adapter. Through these connections, you can create and run your Tuxedo
integrations.
To simplify the development of your
integrations, the Tuxedo Adapter introspects the
Tuxedo server and then dynamically provides a list of services associated with
the Tuxedo application hosted on a Tuxedo server. When defining an adapter
service, you simply select the Tuxedo service you want the adapter service to
call and the adapter automatically defines the adapter's input and output
signatures based on the Tuxedo service's signature, as defined in the Jolt
repository.
The webMethods
Tuxedo Adapter supports Tuxedo 7.1 through 8.x, and requires the BEA Jolt
server. For a complete listing of the versions of Tuxedo and of webMethods Integration Server with which the adapter works,
