Chapter 1 Introduction : Grid Libraries

Grid Libraries
The TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for Generic Adapter installation consists of copying artifacts named Grid Libraries to the following TIBCO Silver Fabric broker directory:
SILVERFABRIC_HOME/webapps/livecluster/deploy/resources/gridlib/
For example, on a Linux platform, the directory is:
/opt/tibco/fabric/webapps/livecluster/deploy/resources/gridlib/
The Grid Libraries can be divided into two groups:
Enablers
Enablers are software containers made for use with TIBCO Silver Fabric. TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for Generic Adapter is made to configure and control how TIBCO Generic Adapter is deployed to a Silver Fabric Engine. Enablers are configured using the TIBCO Silver Fabric Administration Tool interface to specify settings, installation, configuration, and deployment logic for TIBCO Generic Adapter with TIBCO Silver Fabric.
The following Enabler files are installed into the TIBCO_HOME directory. They must be copied to the TIBCO Silver Fabric Broker gridlib directory:
 
TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for Generic Adapter release version 1.0.0 supports:
 
Distributions
Distributions are compressed native products that are obtained separately from the containers for TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for Generic Adapter. Distributions are platform-specific, compressed archives of native TIBCO products and other compressed grid libraries.
Before creating the TIBCO Generic Adapter component, you must create custom distributions for the TIBCO Adapter of your choice. You can create distributions for only the Adapters that use TIBCO Runtime Agent and TIBCO Domain. It is possible to build distributions for SDK custom Adapters also.
Put Distributions, grid libraries, into the same Silver Fabric directory as the Enablers. Distributions are deployed to the Silver Fabric Engines according to the configurations set using the Enablers.
 
Note: The distribution name depends on the Adapter you are using and the naming convention that you follow.
