TIBCO Enterprise Message Service software lets application programs send and receive messages according to the Java Message Service (JMS) protocol. EMS is based on creation and delivery of messages. Messages are structured data that one application sends to another. The creator of the message is known as the producer and the receiver of the message is known as the consumer.
A TIBCO EMS server acts as an intermediary for the message and manages its delivery to the correct destination. The server also provides enterprise-class functionality such as fault-tolerance, message routing, and communication with other messaging systems, such as TIBCO Rendezvous™ and TIBCO SmartSockets™.
The interface to EMS provides a set of tools that TIBCO Object Service Broker rules applications running on z/OS and Open Systems can use to produce and consume messages. These messages are transported via TIBCO EMS servers which run on Open Systems platforms.
