The client server or Tuxedo has existed for the past few decades and it is expanding every day! Today, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) or Service Component Architecture (SCA) are considered to be the new approaches to build client server architecture, Tuxedo adopts this concept and can be extended very easily. Getting Started with Oracle Tuxedo shows how to develop distributed systems using Tuxedo and extend that to SOA or even a Cloud environment.The primary objective of this book is to show how to develop distributed systems using Tuxedo and extend that to a SOA environment. It also gives fundamentals of Exalogic machines and how Tuxedo application can leverage these new high end machines for enterprise needs. This book introduces you to the client server technology and how it has evolved in past decades. The book also covers various Tuxedo installation procedures, hardware and software requirements, and then how to configure Tuxedo application, all parameters with their syntax and relevant values. You will be introduced to various Tuxedo administrative tools, which are very important for a Tuxedo Administrator to perform his daily work, and with tuning suggestions and best practices. Next comes, Tuxedo APIs to build your applications, combining client and server modules. The book then covers the SALT component, which allows external web service applications to invoke Tuxedo services, and similarly Tuxedo applications can invoke external web services.

It seems that every year since the Enron collapse there has been a fresh debacle that refuses to lower the spotlight from corporate Governance, Risk, and Compliance management.Before Sarbanes Oxely forced company managers to become risk conscious, if you asked a chief executive whether he thought he had adequate internal controls, the most likely answer would have been What is an internal control? This is clearly no longer the case. Every week some story breaks detailing a lack of good governance, a failure to plan for a foreseeable catastrophe or a failure to comply with an important law or regulation. These stories bring GRC themes into public view, and public scrutiny, and make management and directors keen to show they have put their best efforts forward to govern their companies well, manage risks to the enterprise, and to comply with all applicable laws.Perhaps only Oracle and SAP are in a position to really address all three aspects. The mission of GRC applications is to ensure that the managers and directors of Enterprises that run such applications have a strong defensible position. Written by industry experts with more than 30 years combined experience, this book covers the Governance, Risk Management and Compliance Management of a large modern enterprise and how the IT Infrastructure, in particular the Oracle IT Infrastructure, can assist in that governance. This book is not an implementation guide for GRC products rather it shows you how those products participate in the governance process, how they introduce or mitigate risk, and how they can be brought into compliance with best practice, as well as applicable laws and regulations.The book is divided into three major sections:Governance ñ where we discuss the strategic management of the enterprise, setting plans for managers, making disclosures to investors, and ensuring that the board knows that the enterprise is meeting its goals and staying within its policies.Risk Management ñ where we discuss audit disciplines. This is where we work out what can go wrong, document what we have to do to prevent it from going wrong and check that what we think prevents it going wrong - actually works! We move through the various sub-disciplines within the audit profession and show what tools are best suited from within the Oracle family to assist.Compliance Management ñ where we map the tools and facilities that we have discovered in the first two sections to frameworks and legislations. We give this from an industry and geography agnostic viewpoint, and then drill into some specific industries and countries.We neither stay in the narrow definition of GRC applications, nor limit ourselves to the Business Applications but take you to the most appropriate places in the full Oracle footprint. The book is written from the perspective of big GRC. It is not an implementation manual for the GRC products, although we hope you can get the best out of the GRC products after reading this book. We discuss many applications and technology products that are not in the GRC product family.
