From Concepts to Usage
Understanding the concepts is the first step to using TIBCO FTL software effectively. The next step depends on your role as either a programmer or an administrator.
The terms we have defined are basic concepts, and not necessarily complete functional descriptions.
These concepts become concrete in two different ways:
- For programmers, the concepts of application, endpoint, publisher, subscriber, inbox, message, content matcher and format all become concrete through the TIBCO FTL® - Enterprise Edition API. For more information, see TIBCO FTL® - Enterprise Edition Development and the API reference material in the FTL documentation.
- For administrators, the concepts of application, endpoint, transport, store, one-to-many publishing, one-to-one messaging, application instance, format and realm all become concrete through the TIBCO FTL realm definition. For more information, see TIBCO FTL® - Enterprise Edition Administration in the FTL documentation.
