  • tpsvrinit: This is called during server startup and receives all command-line arguments. The arguments part is not very interesting for Python code because we can always get it from sys.argv, but it is present to match the C XATMI function with the same name. What you do in this function depends on your application, but it must return 0 to indicate success and -1 for error. A typical task in this function for Tuxedo servers is to advertise services.
