This chapter provides an introduction to the runtime administration of configured GINA
applications.

Communication in GINA is based on the

openUTM transaction monitor. Its functionality with

respect to transaction-monitored message interchange and restart is thus inherited in the
event of error. With the support of the XA interface, data storage is also integrated in this
transaction bracket. Knowledge of the administration and diagnostic options offered by
UTM is required for the successful operation of (networked) GINA applications.

A precise description of the concepts involved can be found in the Developer Manual [13].
The description of the network in the configuration generator determines which partners
can communicate with each other and in what way (chapter 6 on page 43).

Unlike the transaction-monitored communication between server applications, client appli-
cations (generally as GUI applications) connect to server applications using non-transac-
tion-monitored protocols. Here too, knowledge is required of the underlying

openUTM-Cli-

ent product and the diagnostic tools. A precise description can be found in the correspond-
ing manuals on

openUTM and openUTM-Client or in the communication protocols used by

openUTM [29], [31].
