Realm

In TIBCO FTL software, a realm represents one communication fabric, with its endpoints, applications, application instances, transports, stores, and message formats.

A realm embraces all the administrative definitions and configurations that enable communication among a set of cooperating programs.

Sometimes a small enterprise needs only one realm. However, at other times development and test environments are needed, which must not interfere with a production environment. Each of these environments needs a separate realm because communication must be isolated by environment.

The realm definition defines the realm and can include configurations for applications, endpoints, transports, transport abilities of an endpoint in an application instance, message formats, and other settings.
