Interior Server

This chapter provides detailed information about the Interior Server.

Overview

Interior Server is the server on which BusinessConnect™ Container Edition is installed on top of the other required TIBCO software products. Multiple Interior Servers can work as a cluster to achieve load balancing and fault tolerance. This server is located inside the company’s firewall and performs the following tasks:

  • Handles all messaging level activities, such as message packaging and unpacking, encryption and decryption, signature and verification, and so on, according to numerous transport and vertical business standards.
  • Takes care of business level logic to be executed by each individual protocol, such as document schema validation, business level acknowledgment generation, and so on.
  • Communicates with Gateway Server and Poller Server using TIBCO Enterprise Message Service message bus for Inbound messages.
  • It also communicates with AuditSafe server using REST APIs to post audit logs.
