# Starting BEA eLink TCP for TUXEDO

The following topics provide information about starting the BEA eLink for Mainframe TCP for TUXEDO (hereafter referenced as eLink TCP for TUXEDO) product:

- Setting Environment Variables

- Invoking eLink TCP for TUXEDO

- Administering the Gateways

  ## Setting Environment Variables

  Before you attempt to use eLink TCP for TUXEDO, you must set the TUXDIR and PATH environment variables as the following example illustrates.

  > Listing 6-1 Setting ROOTDIR and PATH Environment Variables

  >     TUXDIR=/usr/tuxedo; export TUXDIR
  >     PATH=$PATH:$TUXDIR/bin; export PATH
  >     GWICONFIG=$APPDIR/gwiconfig;export GWICONFIG
  >     BDMCONFIG=$APPDIR/bdmconfig;export BDMCONFIG
  >     TUXCONFIG=$APPDIR/tuxconfig;export TUXCONFIG

  You should set TUXDIR to the actual path where your BEA TUXEDO and eLink TCP for TUXEDO software is installed. Set APPDIR to the application directory, similar to the UBBCONFIG file. You may also need to set the LANG environment variable if you have generated custom mapping tables or message catalogs. Some platforms may require that LANG always is set. Consult your operating system documentation for the appropriate LANG value.

  ## Invoking eLink TCP for TUXEDO

  Perform a `tmloadcf` and `dmloadcf` to load the UBBCONFIG and the DMCONFIG files. Invoke eLink TCP for TUXEDO using the `tmboot` command to boot the BEA TUXEDO system. Be sure to configure eLink TCP for TUXEDO prior to using the `tmboot` command. For details, see "Configuring BEA eLink TCP for TUXEDO."

  > Listing 6-2 Invoking eLink TCP for TUXEDO Using tmboot

  >     tmboot -y

  ## Administering the Gateways

  BEA TUXEDO has a set of `tmadmin` and `dmadmin` commands for the administration of the eLink TCP for TUXEDO gateways. For detailed information about these commands, refer to the BEA TUXEDO Administrator's Guide and the BEA TUXEDO Domain User Guide.
