Types of Channels
You can choose from the following types of channels:
TIBCO Rendezvous channels  Connect TIBCO BusinessEvents to TIBCO Rendezvous sources and sinks. See Working with Rendezvous Channels.
Local channels  Connect co-located agents at runtime. See Working with Local Channels
JMS channels  Connect TIBCO BusinessEvents to TIBCO Enterprise Message Service provider sources and sinks. See Chapter 6, JMS Channels.
HTTP channels, including SOAP support  An HTTP channel acts as an HTTP server at runtime. This enables TIBCO BusinessEvents to serve requests from clients, and to act as a client of other servers. Support for SOAP protocol is provided by a specialized event type and a set of functions for extracting information from SOAP request messages and constructing response messages. See Chapter 7, HTTP and SOAP Channels.
