(For UNIX, this is a colon, andfor Windows, it is a semi-colon.) The default setting automatically opensclient.lib, server.lib, and common.lib.! New middleware API-specific variables used to connect to the middleware:SMRBCONFIG, SMRBHOST, and SMRBPORT." The JIF file for your application can be set in SMTPJIF.Database Error HandlingErrors resulting from database access are handled differently when the server isconnected to the database, as opposed to two-tier processing where the client isconnected directly to the database. Default error handling on the server also dependson the environment: development or production.There are new default database error handlers for servers. The DBMS ONENTRY defaulterror handler logs each DBMS command in the development environment, but doesnothing in a production environment. The DBMS ONERROR function default errorhandler logs all DBMS errors to the central user log file in both the development andproduction environments.Team DevelopmentIn JetNet and Oracle Tuxedo executables, developers can have personal copies ofscreens in library files and services in the JIF in order to make and test changes duringdevelopment.A new menu option, Options→Service Alias allows you to specify a user identifier touse when testing services. For more information, refer to “Using Service Aliases toTest Services” on page 5-8 in JetNet/Oracle Tuxedo Guide.To use this feature, the application server must have a service alias defined. Oncedefined, the library function sm_tp_get_svc_alias returns the value of the servicealias for the application server.1-58 Upgrading to Panther from JAM 7
