Advisory Messages

TIBCO FTL software presents asynchronous advisory messages to application programs. Advisory messages can indicate errors, warnings, or other information.

In contrast with exceptions and error codes, which indicate success or failure within a specific TIBCO FTL call, asynchronous advisory messages notify programs of incidents that occur outside of the program’s direct flow of control.

When it is not possible to communicate through an advisory message, TIBCO FTL software presents an out-of-band notification instead (see Notifications).

Programs must arrange to receive and process information through both of these mechanisms: advisories and notifications.

  • Advisory Message Common Fields Reference
    Advisory messages contain fields that present information to programs. Some fields are present on all advisory messages. Other fields are present only when information is available. Still other fields are associated only with specific advisory messages. Programs can use content matchers to select subsets of advisory messages from the advisory endpoint.
  • Subscribing to Advisory Messages
    To receive advisory messages, programs can create subscribers on a special endpoint named _advisoryEndpoint. (In each supported programming language, an API constant has the name of this endpoint as its value.)
  • Advisory Messages Catalog
    Application programs can receive the advisory messages in this table.
