TIBCO Rendezvous Discovery URL Format

The discovery URL for use with TIBCO Rendezvous has the following format:

tibrv://[service]/[network]/[daemon]

The syntax indicates that Rendezvous is used as the discovery transport, and that the optional service, network, and daemon Rendezvous transport creation arguments can be specified, separated by slashes, as shown.

  • service specifies the Rendezvous service number (UDP port) that will be used. If not specified, it will default to 7889.
  • network specifies the interface and the discovery group address that will be used to send the Rendezvous discovery packets. The format is:
          interface;discovery_group_address

    If not specified, ActiveSpaces uses the default interface and discovery group address 239.8.8.9 (so the URL will be equivalent to tibrv://7889/;239.8.8.9/). If an interface is specified (by IP address, hostname, or by interface name) do not forget to also specify a discovery group address otherwise Rendezvous will revert to using broadcast rather than discovery (for example, to specify usage of the interface identified by IP address 192.168.1.1 use the URL: tibrv:///192.168.1.1;239.8.8.9/).

  • daemon specifies where to find the Rendezvous daemon. If not specified, it will try to connect to a local daemon on port 7500.
  • For more information on these parameters, refer to the TIBCO Rendezvous Concepts guide.
