TCP/IP
The RPC listeners and TIBCO iProcess Workspace use the TCP/IP protocol to communicate. To communicate with the RPC listener processes, the TIBCO iProcess Workspace must be able to perform HOST name resolution. This means that data packets are sent to a host name such as HERCULES rather than to an IP address such as 10.10.56.202 and the TCP/IP stack looks up the correct IP address. A typical way of setting this up is to use a HOSTS file on each computer which provides a simple lookup table for a host name and its IP address.
