Chapter 1 Introduction : Adapter Components and Additional TIBCO Software

Adapter Components and Additional TIBCO Software
You can install the software on different machines and use them across the network. For example, you can use TIBCO Designer on one machine to configure a TIBCO Adapter for CORBA adapter on another machine.
Adapter Components
Table 3 describes the components of the adapter installation package.
This process does the actual work of passing and converting data to and from the vendor application. Data exchanges parameters are stored in projects created using the adapter palette.
Required and Optional TIBCO Products
The TIBCO Runtime Agent must be installed before installing the adapter. Depending on your configuration, you may also need to install additional TIBCO products.
The next table describes the TIBCO Runtime Agent and the additional TIBCO products you may be installing. For the supported versions of the listed products, refer to TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Tuxedo readme.txt.
Required. TIBCO Runtime Agent supplies a number of TIBCO and third-party libraries used by the adapter and other TIBCO products both at design time and runtime. This includes, for example, TIBCO Rendezvous software.
You must install TIBCO Runtime Agent on each machine that hosts an adapter. TIBCO Runtime Agent must be installed before you install the adapter.
TIBCO Administrator
User Management. Management of authentication, roles and users, that is, connecting roles (groups) and users to access control lists (ACLs). This includes security for server-based projects at design-time and for deployed applications at runtime.
Resource Management. Monitoring of machines and of all running applications in a TIBCO administration domain. Alerts can be created, for example, to notify an administrator if the number of processes or disk usage exceed a certain number.
Application Management. Uploading of Enterprise Archive (EAR) files, creation, configuration, deployment, and monitoring of applications. This console is also used to start and stop applications.
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks
Optional. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is a scalable, extensible, and easy-to-use integration platform that allows you to develop integration projects. TIBCO Adapters are typically part of integration projects created using TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks.
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service
Optional. TIBCO Enterprise Message Service allows you to use the Java Messaging Services (JMS) as the message transport for your adapter.
