Transports Tab

The adapter user interface automatically creates a corresponding session and an endpoint to encapsulate transport information necessary for data communication.

In the Transports tab, you can use the All Adapter Transports panel to add or remove a session and its associated endpoint. You can also use the configuration panel to change the configurations of a session or endpoint.

Both sessions and endpoints are concepts in TIBCO Adapter SDK, which is 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.

  • Sessions for the TIBCO Rendezvous Transport Type
    If you select the TIBCO Rendezvous transport type, you have Quality of Service sessions. They are Reliable (RV), Certified (RVCM), and Distributed Queue (RVCMQ).
  • Sessions for the JMS Transport Type
    If you select the JMS transport type, you have connection factory sessions. They are Topic and Queue.
  • Session Reference
    After you add a session, the configuration options for the session are displayed in the Configuration panel. The transport session type you select determines the specific options you have to configure.
  • Endpoint Reference
    After you add an endpoint, the configuration options for the endpoint are displayed in the configuration panel. The session type of the endpoint you select determines the endpoint specific options you have to configure.
