Overview


TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (release 4 and later) can exchange messages with TIBCO Rendezvous (release 6.9 and later).

Scope

Figure 13 Rendezvous Transports in the EMS Server

Message Translation

EMS and Rendezvous 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 four configuration files to guide the exchange of messages with Rendezvous.

Enabling

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

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 Rendezvous.

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.

RVCM Listeners

When exporting messages on a transport configured for certified message delivery, you can pre-register RVCM listeners in the file tibrvcm.conf.

For details, see tibrvcm , and Certified Messages

Deprecated Configuration Properties

Previous releases of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service provided properties in tibemsd.conf and destination properties for configuring communication with TIBCO Rendezvous. These properties are supported for backward-compatibility, but they are deprecated. This configuration method may not be supported in future releases of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service. You can achieve the same functionality that these parameters provide by using transports.conf and the export and import properties on destinations described in this chapter.
You may continue to use the deprecated properties with this release, but you should switch to using the new approach as soon as possible. For lists of deprecated parameters and properties, see TIBCO Rendezvous Parameters—Deprecated, and Deprecated Properties.
