FTL Server and its Interfaces

Administrators can interact with the FTL server using its graphical user interfaces (GUI) and its web API.

You can use the FTL server GUI to modify the realm definition and to deploy changes to client application processes and affiliated FTL servers. You can also monitor and manage clients as they run, and as the server updates them to use a modified realm definition.

You can use the FTL server web API to do all of the previously mentioned administration tasks programmatically (see FTL Server Web API).

TIBCO eFTL

Administrators also use the FTL server GUI and web API to configure and monitor the TIBCO eFTL™ service. For information about these GUI pages and web API, see the TIBCO eFTL documentation.

  • Realm Definition Storage
    Each FTL server stores the definition of exactly one realm. However, it stores the realm definition in several different ways.
  • Modification Lock
    The realm workspace is protected by a lock, so that only one administrator at a time may modify it.
  • The Deploy Transaction
    The deploy command initiates a transaction with the goal that all clients begin using the modified realm definition.
  • Realm Modifications Reference
    The following tables describe the ways in which you can modify the realm definition, and the deployment consequences of each modification.
