Tuxedo Proxy Client (ieftuxcl)

The CA Gen Tuxedo Proxy Client (ieftuxcl) functions as a Tuxedo client for multiple Gen client/server clients running on multiple workstations. It can receive TCP/IP connections from individual clients, the Client Manager, or the Communications Bridge (Comm Bridge). It routes requests to Tuxedo and responds back to the requesting client.

Each instance of ieftuxcl can handle up to 256 client applications, but operates as a single Tuxedo client. If necessary, multiple instances of ieftuxcl can be started.

The following diagram illustrates how a typical setup might be using the ieftuxcl.

Tuxedo Proxy client setup

Case A: Client generated with CA Gen as the Communication Type using Client Manager to communicate with the Tuxedo Application Servers through the ieftuxcl.

Case B: A client generated with TCP/IP as the Communication Type accessing the Tuxedo Application Servers through ieftuxcl.

Case C: Clients generated with TCP/IP as the Communication Type using the Communication (Comm) Bridge to communicate with the Tuxedo Application Servers through the ieftuxcl.
