What is Oracle Tuxedo?

Oracle Tuxedo is a software package that provides a robust foundation for transaction-intensive applications.

It is designed to enable scalable data integration in heterogeneous data environments.

Key features of Oracle Tuxedo:

1. Scalable Multi-tier Client/Server Applications: Oracle Tuxedo provides a framework for building scalable multi-tier client/server applications in heterogeneous distributed environments. This means it can handle applications that have multiple layers or tiers, such as presentation, application processing, and data management functions.
2. Transaction Management: Oracle Tuxedo specializes in managing transactions on behalf of ATMI and CORBA applications from their point of origin—typically on the client—across one or more servers.
3. Routing, Dispatching, and Managing Requests: Oracle Tuxedo is a service application that routes, dispatches, and manages requests, events, and application queues across system processes. This ensures the efficient handling of requests and tasks within the system.
4. Support for Various Programming Languages: Oracle Tuxedo supports various programming languages, including C, C++, COBOL, Java, and dynamic languages. This makes it a versatile platform for different types of applications.
5. Integration with Oracle Products: Oracle Tuxedo can be integrated with other Oracle products, enhancing its functionality and making it a part of a larger Oracle ecosystem.
6. High Availability: To obtain high availability with Oracle Tuxedo, separate licenses to Oracle WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition and Oracle Coherence Enterprise Edition are required.
7. Oracle Tuxedo Jolt: This Java-based client API accesses the Oracle Tuxedo application services, extending the functionality of existing Oracle Tuxedo applications to Intranet and Internet-wide availability.
8. Oracle Services Architecture Leveraging Tuxedo (SALT): Oracle SALT enables access to Oracle Tuxedo services as web services and allows Oracle Tuxedo applications to access Web services hosted outside the Oracle Tuxedo domain.
9. Oracle Tuxedo System and Applications Monitor Plus (TSAM Plus): Oracle TSAM monitors and manages system servers, application servers, and application transactions.
10. Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapters (SNA and TCP): These Adapters provide bidirectional
11. and transactional connectivity between Oracle Tuxedo and CICS/IMS services running on IBM or Unisys mainframes.

Components of Oracle Tuxedo

Oracle Tuxedo comprises the following components:

• Oracle Tuxedo Server: The core component that handles the transaction processing.
• Oracle Tuxedo Standalone Clients: These clients interact with the Oracle Tuxedo Server.
