Description

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.

Who is this book for?

This 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.

An excellent introduction to Oracle Tuxedo using python. It builds progressively on Tuxedo concepts and clearly explains the core features like servers, queues (MSSQ and SSSQ in tuxedo speak), admin processes (BBL) . It also demonstrates how Python takes an otherwise complex (in C) set of tasks and makes them easy to access. It does require a basic understanding of pythonIt does a great job in explaining how Tuxedo utilizes XA to provide consistency across multiple data stores.The section on NATS addresses the current phase in which Oracle Tuxedo product finds itself, where companies on Tuxedo are looking to migrate to another product.Python makes another wise hard to access product more accessible and the author does a great job in demonstrating how to unlock the potential of Oracle Tuxedo.It does not cover more complex topics like an MP domains [distributed services across multiple hosts] and integration with Weblogic.Overall, while Oracle Tuxedo is late in its lifecycle, this book demonstrates what made it such a great product in the late nineties and early 2000s, when the internet was just taking off and web technologies were not mature enough to provide the rich set of features that Tuxedo provided.To this day it is being used extensively in mission critical areas, some of which I have had the privilege to work in. While the migration away from it is underway, it is still doing most of the heavy lifting, orchestrating millions (per hour) of complex transactions across a heterogeneous set of platforms.

Although I am not a seasoned Python/Tuxedo expert I found this book to be an amazing primer on the technology and how to create better apps. Many of the concepts were new to me but the overall presentation was thorough enough that I now have a firm grasp of how to create more modern applications using Python on Tuxedo. I would highly recommend this book to anyone doing development on Oracle Tuxedo platform using Python.

This is an amazing book for the developers and architects to support the existing systems. I was using Tuxedo earlier when it was BEA tuxedo to integrate our airlines system. I would recommend this book very much!!

The author (Aivars Kalvāns) does a fantastic job in explaining not only the content, but a great introduction to basic Tuxedo Administration, goes through the topics succinctly and in a very fun way, truly a modern approach, I remember taking those courses in the past with BEA and it is so wonderful to see this propagating in containers and with such a forgiving language like Python, the book contains access to the Github repo with all the exercises, I will list it here to pique your interest https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Modernizing-Oracle-Tuxedo-Applications-with-PythonThe book does assume you are familiar with containers and of course the Python language, it is describing in detail how to create your first Python based Oracle Tuxedo application, it is fantastic that there are references as well to introductions within the exercises via video too!After a proper introduction to Tuxedo, the book takes a turn into showing the power of Tuxedo for creating Services and Clients, as well different ways to perform administration tasks like using Management Information Base (MIB) that allows you to perform administrative changes at runtime, this is one of the greatest things I remember when working with Tuxedo and trying to perform actions with no downtime as well as taking a peak at performance.Lastly the book sort of skims through other exciting topics, like consumption of external services and a very interesting introduction to using the open source message oriented middleware known as NATS and even walks through an example of a bidirectional gateway!I would have loved that this book would have taken a turn around using also the power of Python to create an all encompassing end to end solution, something that would leverage exposing RESTful Tuxedo in a more detail example, but that is my personal preference. You will not be disappointed and I do hope you get to run thru all the exercises, it was a great trip down memory lane for me and I enjoyed this journey a ton.
