TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS 8.1.0

# Interface to Other TIBCO Products

TIBCO MFT interfaces with TIBCO® EMS and TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorksTM. Below is an explanation of the interfaces supported.

## ActiveMatrix BusinessWorksTM

TIBCO MFT has plug-ins for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorksTM, that is for both TIBCO Business StudioTM (BW6) and TIBCO DesignerTM (BW5). The plug-ins support the following capabilities:

1. Initiate a Platform Server transfer.
2. Wait for a Platform Server transfer to complete.
3. Initiate an Internet Server transfer.
4. Wait for an Internet Server transfer to complete.
5. Inquire on Internet Server or Platform Server audit records.
6. Wait for alerts.

The plug-ins are not shipped with ActiveMatrix BusinessWorksTM or with any TIBCO MFT product. You must download these plug-ins from the TIBCO download site and then install and configure them in ActiveMatrix BusinessWorksTM before they can be used.

The plug-in interface uses EMS (or other JMS Servers) as a pipe for receiving data from and sending data to the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorksTM client. Therefore EMS (or other JMS Servers) are required for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorksTM clients to work.

To use EMS or JMS, the MFT Command Center is required. Only MFT Command Center can configure EMS/JMS connections.

## TIBCO EMS (or JMS)

TIBCO® Managed File Transfer allows you to interface with EMS or other supported JMS products such as ActiveMQ or IBM MQ. The following capabilities are supported through EMS/JMS:

1. The following features are available from ActiveMatrix BusinessWorksTM:
   1. Initiate a Platform Server transfer.
   2. Wait for a Platform Server transfer to complete.
   3. Initiate an Internet Server transfer.
   4. Wait for an Internet Server transfer to complete.
   5. Inquire on Internet Serve or Platform Server audit records.
   6. Wait for alerts.
2. Write file transfer data to an EMS/JMS queue, instead of to a file.
3. Read file transfer data from a EMS/JMS queue, instead of from a file.
4. Write transfer start (Internet Server) notifications to a topic.
5. Write transfer completion (Internet Server and Platform Server) notifications to a topic.

## TIBCO Spotfire® and TIBCO JasperReports®

TIBCO MFT does not have a direct interface to Spotfire® or TIBCO JasperSoft®, but these products can be used to create sophisticated reports above and beyond the reports created by MFT Command Center. All MFT configuration and audit information is stored in the MFT database. So it is a relatively simple task for users familiar with Spotfire® or JasperReports® to create reports using the MFT database input.
