Overview of this book

Despite 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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to access the Tuxedo application remotely. The Workstation clients allow calling services within a transaction by having the full power of Tuxedo at your fingertips. It has the same API we used to develop native clients and servers. The only limitation is that it requires Tuxedo libraries installed to work. We also created a web service running as a Tuxedo server in a few lines of Python code. While sacrificing the power of Tuxedo, we gained the interoperability of REST services. Now you are equipped with several options to expose Tuxedo services and ready for future challenges.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to consume web services in a Tuxedo application. While it is simple to do in Python, there are some tricks to make them fit better with the rest of the Tuxedo application.
