FTL Can Emulate EMS Behaviors

You can use TIBCO FTL to emulate familiar TIBCO EMS behaviors.

  • EMS Topic FTL standard durables behave similarly to EMS topics with durable subscriptions.
  • EMS Queue FTL shared durables behave similarly to EMS queues.

    However, an EMS queue distributes messages to subscribers in a round robin, while an FTL shared durable distributes messages using a load-sharing scheme that is not strictly round robin.

  • Wildcard Subscriptions Embed the destination name elements in a set of message fields. Subscribe using a content matcher to select messages with those fields. Omit wildcard elements from the content matcher.
  • Message Broker The FTL server can behave as a message broker, emulating the EMS server.
