Messages between eFTL Clients and FTL Clients

An FTL channel can forward messages between eFTL applications and FTL applications, in either direction.

The diagram shows applications that publish and subscribe. Applications on the eFTL side connect to the FTL channel using the eFTL API, while those at the bottom communicate using FTL transports. The channel forwards messages among them in three ways:

  • from eFTL publishers to FTL subscribers
  • from FTL publishers to eFTL subscribers
  • from eFTL publishers to eFTL subscribers

When forwarding a message, the eFTL server translates the message format appropriately; for details, see Message Format TIBCO eFTL and TIBCO FTL.

Notice that when forwarding within the eFTL side, the channel translates the message twice: as it enters and leaves the server.

  • FTL Persistence
    An FTL channel can interact with an FTL persistence service.
