Where is the connection information stored?

The following components of the Sybase XA environment contain information about LRMs. The System Administrator configures these files before starting up the TM. For information on the full configuration process, see Chapter 2, “Configuring the XA Environment.”

The Sybase XA configuration file

The Sybase XA configuration file contains one entry per LRM. The entry associates the LRM with a physical Adaptive Server name, and assigns pre-connection Client-Library capabilities and properties to the LRM. For details on the XA configuration file, see “XA configuration file for DTM XA Interface”.

The CICS XA product definition (XAD)

The CICS XAD contains one stanza per LRM. The stanza assigns each LRM a user name and password in the form of an open string. The user name and password enable the Sybase XA environment to control a particular connection’s access to Adaptive Server resources. For details on the CICS XAD file, see “Adding a Sybase stanza to the CICS region XAD definition”.

The Encina monadmin create rm command

The monadmin create rm command assigns each LRM a user name and password in the form of an open string. The user name and password allow the Sybase XA environment to control a particular connection’s access to Adaptive Server resources. For details on the Encina monadmin command, see “Assigning an open string with monadmin create rm”. Your current version of Encina may have additional commands for specifying RMs.

NoteYou can use the Encina enconsole interactive command instead of the shell monadmin command.

For detailed information, see the Encina Monitor System Administrator’s Guide and Reference.

TUXEDO’s UBBCONFIG file

In addition to modifying the Sybase configuration files, integrating TUXEDO requires customizing the TUXEDO configuration file, UBBCONFIG. The open string is the only portion of the UBBCONFIG file that requires modification. It includes the user name and password, which allow XA-Server to control a connection’s access to Adaptive Server resources. See “Setting up the UBBCONFIG file” for details.
