Realm Service
A data grid is run inside a TIBCO FTL realm. A TIBCO FTL realm serves as a repository for data grid configuration information and provides communication services that enable all data grid processes to communicate with each other. A client application accesses the data grid by using the realm service URL.
The realm service URL is the URL of the TIBCO FTL server. The realm service offers the following capabilities:
- Stores data grid definitions
- Communicates with the administrative tools to store and retrieve data grid definitions
- Communicates with all the processes running in the data grid and updates the internal configuration if anything changes
- Collects monitoring data from all processes
