Modernizing Oracle Tuxedo applications with Python : a practical guide to using Oracle Tuxedo in the 21st century

Learn Tuxedo by developing solutions in Python for real-world problemsKey FeaturesUnderstand Tuxedo through a modern lens by experimenting with Python codeBoost your productivity by using Python programming to perform common Tuxedo programming tasksManage real-world integration tasks with small Python programsBook DescriptionDespite being developed in the 1980s, Oracle Tuxedo still runs a significant part of critical infrastructure and is not going away any time soon.

Modernizing Oracle Tuxedo Applications with Python will help you get to grips with the most important Tuxedo concepts by writing Python code. The book starts with an introduction to Oracle Tuxedo and guides you in installing its latest version and Python bindings for Tuxedo on Linux.

You'll then learn how to build your first server and client, configure Tuxedo, and start running an application.

As you advance, you'll understand load balancing and work with the BBL server, which is at the heart of a Tuxedo application.

This Tuxedo book will also cover Boolean expressions and different ways to export Tuxedo buffers for storage and transmission, before showing you how to implement servers and clients and use the management information base to change the configuration dynamically.

Once you've learned how to configure Tuxedo for transactions and control them in application code, you'll discover how to use the store-and-forward functionality to reach destinations and use an Oracle database from a Tuxedo application. By the end of this Oracle Tuxedo book, you'll be able to perform common Tuxedo programming tasks with Python and integrate Tuxedo applications with other parts of modern infrastructure. What you will learnUnderstand Oracle Tuxedo as a microservice platformDevelop Oracle Tuxedo applications using Python 3Perform administration tasks programmatically with Python 3Extract Tuxedo statistics for monitoring application performanceIntegrate Tuxedo into the modern software ecosystemUnderstand how distributed transactions work in TuxedoWho this book is forThis book is for developers who are new to Tuxedo and are looking to develop a new modern front-end or integrate Tuxedo in their applications.

The book will also help experienced Tuxedo, C or COBOL developers to improve their productivity and QA engineers to automate Tuxedo application tests.

Beginner-level knowledge of Python and Linux shell is required before getting started with this book.
