Overview


TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (release 4 and later) can exchange messages with TIBCO SmartSockets (release 6.5 and later).

Scope

Figure 14 SmartSockets Transports in the EMS Server

Message Translation

EMS and SmartSockets use different formats for messages and their data. When tibemsd imports or exports a messages, it translates the message and its data to the appropriate format; for details, see Message Translation.

Configuration

tibemsd uses definitions and parameters in three configuration files to guide the exchange of messages with SmartSockets.

Enabling

The parameter tibss_transports (in the configuration file tibemsd.conf) globally enables or disables message exchange with SmartSockets. The default value is disabled. To use these transports, you must explicitly set this parameter to enabled.

The parameter tibss_config_dir (in the configuration file tibemsd.conf) specifies the location of SmartSockets files needed by the SmartSockets client within tibemsd.

Transports

Transport definitions (in the configuration file transports.conf) specify the communication protocol between EMS and the external system; for details, see Configuring Transports for SmartSockets.

Destinations

Destination definitions (in the configuration files topics.conf and queues.conf) can set the import and export properties to specify one or more transports:

For details, see Topics, and Queues.

Starting the Servers

We recommend starting the SmartSockets RTserver before starting tibemsd.
