Rendezvous Palette

Using the Rendezvous palette you can send and receive TIBCO Rendezvous® messages.

Important: To run Rendezvous® applications on UNIX, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable and RV_HOME specifying the RV lib path.
Important: You must install Rendezvous® if you want to use the Rendezvous palette features. Refer to the product readme, readme.txt, for the supported versions.
  • Datatype Conversion
    When sending or receiving TIBCO Rendezvous® messages, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ converts the fields of the message to the correct datatypes. Data in the incoming Rendezvous® messages is converted to ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ datatype (and represented in the activity’s output). Data in an outgoing message is converted to Rendezvous® datatypes.
  • Field Names in Messages
    A TIBCO Rendezvous® message can contain field names that are not compliant with XML naming rules. For example, XML element names can neither begin with a number, nor can they contain special characters, such as # or ^. When activities in the Rendezvous palette send or receive messages, element names in the input schemas or output schemas for the activity must comply with XML naming rules. Any element in referenced schemas in the input schemas or output schemas is automatically altered to comply with XML naming rules. From the XML-Compliant Field Names field, you can handle the incoming or outgoing messages when the field names are not valid XML names.
  • Globalization Support
    TIBCO Rendezvous® activities use bw.palette.messageEncoding property as the wire format encoding.
  • Rendezvous Publisher
    Rendezvous Publisher is a synchronous activity that publishes a TIBCO Rendezvous® message on the specific subject with the specified message content.
  • Rendezvous Transport
