Brief Definitions of Key Concepts

These brief definitions are reminders of the key concepts of TIBCO FTL software.

For a more intuitive picture of TIBCO FTL software and its concepts, please read the booklet TIBCO FTL Concepts as your first introduction to this product.

  • Messaging Concepts
    Application programs use TIBCO FTL software to communicate by sending messages to one another. Programs send messages using publisher objects, and receive messages using subscriber objects.
  • Infrastructure Concepts
    Applications communicate directly from endpoint to endpoint through transports.
  • Administrative Concepts
    A realm is a namespace that defines resources and configurations available to application programs. (Those resources include endpoints, transports, and formats.)
