Adapter Agent

An adapter agent is a daemon process that is used to provision adapter nodes and applications, perform administration commands, and synchronize data from the datastore.

Each installation corresponds to an adapter agent. The adapter agent can communicate between agents located on different machines. Multiple adapter agents can communicate by using TIBCO ActiveSpaces for data persistence and communication transport.

Note: To use an external relational database for persistence and TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (EMS) for transport among adapteragents, see adapteragent Configuration for using Database/EMS.

If you want to use the Admin UI provided by TIBCO Enterprise Administrator to view and monitor adapter applications, you must register an adapter agent with a TEA server.

For more details, see Managing Adapter Agents.
