6.7 Creating a configuration file using WinConfig
The configuration file described in the preceding sections contains all the necessary infor-
mation on the desired system structure and can be created either with an editor or using
the WinConfig graphical user interface.
The WinConfig graphical user interface is only available on UNIX platforms and only for
open UTM. ❍❍●
WinConfig contains a direct connection to the GINA configuration generator config. This
means that the configuration process can be executed almost entirely within the graphical
user interface. The user controls the creation of a configuration file and the calling of the
configuration generator by using WinConfig.
The individual configuration elements (HOST, TA-APPLICATION, APPLICATION,
FOREIGN_APPLICATION, SESSION, CONNECTION and FOREIGN_SESSION) of the configu-
ration language from section 6.2 on page 46 are represented in WinConfig by icons and
lines. Clicking on the icons or lines opens dialog windows in which you can enter or change
the relevant parameters.
The next sections frequently use the terms “TA application”, “non-TA application”, “foreign
application”, “session”, “connection” and “foreign session”. In the context described, they
mean the following:
TA application Transaction-monitored application that is connected via T-ORB. In
the configuration language, TA applications are represented by the
TA_APPLICATION statement.
Non-TA application Transaction-free application (e. g. GUI clients) that is connected via
T-ORB/Client. In the configuration language, non-TA applications
are represented by the APPLICATION statement.
Foreign application A foreign open UTM application. In the configuration language, for-
eign applications are represented by the FOREIGN_APPLICATION
statement.
Session Connection between two transaction-monitored applications. In the
configuration language, sessions are represented by the SESSION
statement.
Connection Connection between a transaction-monitored application and a
transaction-free application. In the configuration language, connec-
tions are represented by the CONNECTION statement.
Foreign session Connection between a transaction-monitored application and a for-
eign open UTM application. In the configuration language, foreign
sessions are represented by the FOREIGN_SESSION statement.
