C++ ATMI wrapper

What it does

ATMI, for Application-to-Transaction Monitor Interface, is the main API for the Tuxedo system. It includes transaction management functions (routines, verbs); request/response, conversational, queuing, and publish-and-subscribe message-handling functions; service interface functions; and buffer management functions for distributed application communication.

ATMI++ is a C++ wrapping of this API, adding strong typing of FML buffers and adding the use of exceptions to detect and handle error conditions.

This should help making it easier to write fast and rock solid Tuxedo software.

This project is currently hosted here.

Setting things up

$ configure
$ make

Documentation is obtained with this command:

$ make doxygen

The library is documented here.

Create an rpm

An RPM spec file is generated when configure is executed. You can then copy the tar.gz into the SOURCES directory and run rpm -bb cpp-atmi.spec.

The following commands prepare and builds an RPM for the release v4.6.1:

$ ./configure --enable-release && make pkg
$ cp distrib/cpp-atmi-v4.6.1.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
$ rpm -bb cpp-atmi.spec

The makefile comes with a rpm target which will setup and produce a RPM in the dirctory rpmbuild.

$ ./configure --enable-release && make rpm

How it's used

This code creates a FML field and passes it to a service called XATOUPPER. If anything goes wrong, we roll back the transaction and pass the exception (throw) so that the diagnostic messages can be displayed.

    ...
    transaction tp ( "XATOUPPER" );
    int urcode = 0;

    try {

      buffer buffer;

      Tfield<string> name ( "EMPNAME" );
      name = "[email protected]";

      buffer.add ( name );

      printf ("Calling service TOUPPER (%s), context: %d.\n", name.c_str() , name().c_str());

      try {

        tp.begin();

        int ret = tp.call ( buffer );
        switch (ret) {
          case 0:
            break;
          case -1:
            printf ("TOUPPER returned TPFAIL.\n" );
            break;
          default:
            printf ( "TOUPPER returned: %d (error: %d/%d).\n", ret, tp.error());
            buffer.print();
        }

        buffer.get ( name );
        printf ( "Call returned: %s.\n", name.c_str() );

        tp.commit();
      } catch ( ... ){
        tp.abort();
        throw;
      }

    } catch ( tuxedo_exception& err ) {
      printf ( "Tuxedo Exception catched. tpcall failed. %s\n", err.what() ); 
    };
    ...
