Rendezvous Sessions

You can use the Rendezvous Configuration panel to specify the general information. For options specific to the transport session type, you can use the Rendezvous Options panel.

Rendezvous Configuration Reference

After you add a TIBCO Rendezvous session and select it, the specific options are displayed in the Rendezvous Configuration panel.

The following table lists the options and their descriptions for a TIBCO Rendezvous session.

Name Description
Name Name of the TIBCO Rendezvous transport session.
Description (Optional) Description of the transport session.
Daemon Module property that specifies the TIBCO Rendezvous daemon for this session.
Network Module property that specifies the network for this session. By default, the property is an empty string, which is interpreted as the primary network. Using this attribute only makes sense on computers with more than one network interface.
Service Module property that specifies the service for this transport. By default, the property is defined to be the default TIBCO Rendezvous service (7500).
Connection Type The type of the connection:
  • Reliable
  • Certified
  • Distributed Queue

Rendezvous Options: Reliable Session Reference

No additional configuration is required for Reliable sessions.

Rendezvous Options: Certified Session Reference

If you have selected the TIBCO Rendezvous Certified session, the specific options for this session are displayed in the Rendezvous Options panel.

The following table lists the options and their descriptions for a Certified session.

Name Description
CM Name Used to identify the delivery tracking session. It must be unique across the entire network.
Ledger File Module property that points to a ledger file. If the value of the variable value is a valid file name, the transport uses a file-based ledger.
Sync Ledger File This check box controls the behavior when the ledge file is updated:
  • Selected: operations that update the ledger file do not return until the changes are written to the storage medium.
  • Cleared: the operating system writes changes to the storage medium asynchronously.
Relay Agent Relay agent for this transport.
Require Old Message This check box indicates whether a persistent correspondent requires delivery of messages sent to a previous transport with the same name for which delivery was not confirmed. Its value affects the behavior of other delivery-tracking senders:
  • Selected If the name attribute is non-NULL, then this transport requires certified senders to retain unacknowledged messages sent to this persistent correspondent.
  • Cleared Messages are not retained.
Message Timeout (ms) Maximum time (in milliseconds) that this call can block while waiting for a reply.

Rendezvous Options: Distributed Queue Session Reference

If you have selected the TIBCO Rendezvous Distributed Queue session, the specific options for this session are displayed in the Rendezvous Options panel.

The following table lists the options and their descriptions for a Distributed Queue session.

Name Description
CMQ Name Sequence of the module property that specifies the name of the queue.
Worker Weight Relative worker weights assist the scheduler in assigning tasks. When the scheduler receives a task, it assigns the task to the available listener with the greatest listener weight. The default value is 0.
Worker Tasks Worker tasks for this session. The default value is 0.
Worker Complete Time (ms) If the complete time is non-zero, the scheduler waits for a worker member to complete an assigned task.

If the complete time elapses before the scheduler receives completion from the worker member, the scheduler reassigns the task to another worker member.

The default value is 0 ms.

Scheduler Weight Represents the ability of this session to fulfill the role of the scheduler, relative to other members of the same queue.

The queue members use relative scheduler weight values to elect one member as the scheduler. Members with higher scheduler weight take precedence.

The value is in the range 0 - 65545. The default value is 0.

Scheduler Heartbeat (ms) The scheduler session sends heartbeat messages at this interval (in milliseconds). All member sessions in the queue must specify the same value for this 0.0.
Scheduler Activation (ms) When the heartbeat signal from the scheduler has been silent for this interval (in milliseconds), the queue member with the greatest scheduler weight takes its place as the new scheduler.

All member sessions in the queue must specify the same value for this parameter. Acceptable values are unsigned decimals. The default value is 0.0.
