For the purposes of this discussion, assume that the Tuxedo home directory is in</p> <blockquote><pre>/home/tuxedo</pre></blockquote> In that case, the resource manager file will be located in <blockquote><pre>/home/tuxedo/udataobj/RM</pre></blockquote> Edit the resource manager file, adding the line <blockquote><pre>BERKELEY-DB:db_xa_switch:-L${DB_INSTALL}/lib -ldb \ -lsocket -ldl -lm</pre></blockquote> <p>where ${DB_INSTALLHOME} is the directory into which you installed the Berkeley DB library.</p> <p><b>Note that the previous load options are for a Sun Microsystems Solaris 5.6 Sparc installation of Tuxedo, and may not be correct for your system.</b></p> <p>Next, you must build the transaction manager server. To do this, use the Tuxedo <b>buildtms</b>(1) utility. The buildtms utility will create the Berkeley-DB resource manager in the directory from which it was run. The parameters to buildtms should be</p> <blockquote><pre>buildtms -v -o DBRM -r BERKELEY-DB</pre></blockquote> <p>This will create an executable transaction manager server, DBRM, which is called by Tuxedo to process begins, commits, and aborts.</p> <p>Finally, you must make sure that your TUXCONFIG environment variable identifies an ubbconfig file that properly identifies your resource managers. In the GROUPS section of the ubb file, you should identify the group's LMID and GRPNO, as well as the transaction manager server name "TMSNAME=DBRM." You must also specify the OPENINFO parameter, setting it equal to the string</p> <blockquote><pre>rm_name:dir</pre></blockquote> <p>where rm_name is the resource name specified in the RM file (that is, BERKELEY-DB) and dir is the directory for the Berkeley DB home environment (see <a href="../../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> for a discussion of Berkeley DB environments).</p> <p>Because Tuxedo resource manager startup accepts only a single string for configuration, any environment customization that might have been done via the config parameter to <a href="../../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> must instead be done by placing a <a href="../../ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file in the Berkeley DB environment directory. See <a href="../../ref/env/naming.html">Berkeley DB File Naming</a> for further information.</p> <p>Consider the following configuration. We have built a transaction manager server, as described previously. We want the Berkeley DB environment to be <b>/home/dbhome</b>, our database files to be maintained in <b>/home/datafiles</b>, our log files to be maintained in <b>/home/log</b>, and we want a duplexed server.</p> <p>The GROUPS section of the ubb file might look like the following</p> <blockquote><pre>group_tm LMID=myname GRPNO=1 TMSNAME=DBRM TMSCOUNT=2 \ OPENINFO="BERKELEY-DB:/home/dbhome"</pre></blockquote> <p>There would be a <a href="../../ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> configuration file in the directory <b>/home/dbhome</b> that contained the following two lines:</p> <blockquote><pre>set_data_dir /home/datafiles set_lg_dir /home/log</pre></blockquote> <p>Finally, the ubb file must be translated into a binary version using Tuxedo's <b>tmloadcf</b>(1) utility, and then the pathname of that binary file must be specified as your TUXCONFIG environment variable.</p> <p>At this point, your system is properly initialized to use the Berkeley DB resource manager.</p> <p>See <a href="../../api_c/db_class.html">db_create</a> for further information on accessing data files using XA.</p> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right><a href="../xa/xa_intro.html"><img src="../../images/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a><a href="../toc.html"><img src="../../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a><a href="../xa/faq.html"><img src="../../images/next.gif" alt="Next"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1>Copyright (c) 1996,2008 Oracle.
