Interior Server

BusinessConnect Container Edition is installed on Interior Server (IS). You can deploy multiple Interior Servers as a cluster for 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 run 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.
  • Communicates with AuditSafe Server using REST APIs to post audit logs.

Interior Server must be deployed and started before Gateway Server.
