Sessions and Endpoints

Both sessions and endpoints are concepts in TIBCO Adapter SDK, the fundamental class library used in the adapter implementation.

Endpoints send or receive data. They represent services that the adapter provides. Each endpoint is associated with a session that is used to communicate with the source or target application. A session encapsulates the transport information of an adapter service.

For more information, see TIBCO Adapter SDK Programmer’s Guide.

Supported Endpoints

Publisher, Subscriber, Client, and Server are the endpoints that are available in an adapter. An adapter service encapsulates both the corresponding endpoint and session. The services that TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Database (TIBCO Business Studio) supports include:

Publication Service—a Publisher endpoint and associated session
Subscription Service—a Subscriber endpoint and associated session
Request-Response Service—a Server endpoint and associated session

Note: A Client endpoint is supported for Request-Response Invocation Service. However, this type of service is not supported in TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Database (TIBCO Business Studio).

Supported Sessions

Both TIBCO Rendezvous and JMS transport sessions are supported.

For sessions of the TIBCO Rendezvous transport type, see Sessions for the TIBCO Rendezvous Transport Type.

For sessions of the JMS transport type, see Sessions for the JMS Transport Type.
