Messaging Bus Configuration of an Enterprise

A messaging bus is required only when distributing an application across multiple nodes or when policy sets such as Virtualize need to be configured to force the use of EMS-based routing instead of in-memory routing.

However, there might be scenarios when you do not want to distribute applications and do not need to apply policies and hence do not need a messaging bus. For example, consider that all the components of an application run on all the nodes all the time and none of the applications entities (such as component, service, binding, reference, and so on) are distributed to multiple nodes. In this case, you do not need a messaging bus. For scenarios like these, you can deploy an application even when the messaging bus is down or not available.

Using TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT), you can create an enterprise that does not use a messaging bus.

For more information on creating an enterprise and configuring the messaging bus settings, refer to the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid Installation and Configuration Guide.
