Tamino XML Server allows native HTTP communication. When choosing this communication method the server property "HTTP port" must be specified. Then a Tamino database can be addressed by http://<hostname>:<HTTP port number>/tamino/<dbname> without usage of a web server.
Alternatively Tamino databases can be addressed by both TCP/IP and XTS (eXtended Transport Service).
Usage of XTS is possible with the Software AG directory server (optional configuration, usually used with database replication) or as a "flat file" approach via the environment variable XTSDIR. In both cases database access data is maintained when a Tamino database server is started or shut down.
By default the setting of XTSDIR is configured as registry entry for the System Management Hub (SMH) to enable communication via XTS for administration functions using the "flat file" approach. When a web server (e.g. Apache) is used, the environment variable XTSDIR must be set up for the web server process, too. In this case the same value for XTSDIR is to be used for SMH and the web server.
The decision whether to use the Software AG directory server is done by checking the existence of the environment variable XTSDIR. If the Software AG directory server is to be used, the setting of environment variable XTSDIR must be deleted.
To modify or delete the registry entry XTSDIR for Tamino administration functions the following steps are to be done:
Using Tamino Manager (System Management Hub), navigate to the entry Registry
In the registry navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Software AG\System Management Hub\Products\Tamino\Versions\9.12\Environment
Check if a registry value XTSDIR is present and modify or delete the registry entry
On a Windows system, re-enable User Account Control (UAC). On a Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012 system, grant write access for the installation directory to the Windows group Users.
If you installed Tamino on a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server system that was configured to run in parallel boot mode, you disabled parallel boot mode before installation. Do not re-enable parallel boot mode after installation.
