Notification Server
The Notification Transport Server is the backbone of the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Enterprise and is used by all the Hosts and Nodes in the Enterprise. The Notification Server is an Enterprise Messaging Service server that performs two essential system functions within the TIBCO ActiveMatrix platform. It delivers status messages sent by hosts and nodes to the Administrator server.
The status messages include:
- Task execution status
- Runtime status of an entity (Host, Node, Application component, Resource Instance, and so on)
Hosts and nodes send status messages for the following types of state changes:
Status messages are not stored persistently.
The Administrator server also stores all the tasks with no outstanding dependencies associated with an action on persistent queues in the notification server. For example, the following screen lists some of the pending tasks for a deploy action:
The tasks are stored persistently so that if the node stops while the tasks are being processed, the action can be completed after the node restarts.
