Introducing MIB
MIB is a unified interface for the administration of Tuxedo applications. The interface uses FML32 typed buffers and fields that are defined in files under the $TUXDIR/udataobj directory of a Tuxedo installation. There are multiple MIBs for different Tuxedo components, such as Domains, EventBroker, and Workstation. However, each of these components is beyond the scope of this book. Here, we will keep our focus on TM_MIB, which provides information about the Tuxedo core.
The most common way to interact with the MIB is by calling the .TMIB service provided by the BBL server. You can do this without writing any code by using the ud32 utility. Note that we have used this in our examples in the previous chapters. The one obvious limitation of using the .TMIB service is that the BBL server must be kept running.
The second way to interact with the MIB is by using the tpadmcall API function, which works even when the application is not running or has not been configured...
