TIBCO Rendezvous Subscribing Input Adapter

This adapter requires access to the JAR file that implements the TIBCO Rendezvous Java API on your system, and any files referenced by that JAR file. The StreamBase installation kit includes version 8.1.2 of the tibrvj.jar JAR file. If your site's Rendezvous implementation requires a newer version of that file, copy the file from $TIBRV_HOME/lib to $STREAMBASE_HOME/lib/ext.

The tibrvj.jar file, in turn, relies on the tibrvj.dll and tibrv.dll files for Windows, and for UNIX, on several .so files in /usr/tibco/tibrv/lib. These DLL or .so files are supplied as part of your TIBCO Rendezvous installation, and are not shipped with StreamBase. Make sure these files are locatable by the TIBCO JAR file on the PATH or by means of the TIBRV_HOME environment variable.

If you get an error message whose text refers to Library not found: tibrvj, audit your system for multiple versions of the TIBCO JAR and DLL (or .so) files. For example, on Windows, you might have an older TIBCO release's DLL files in C:\Windows\System32, and a newer set in $TIBRV_HOME\lib. Make sure the StreamBase TIBCO adapter sees a consistent TIBCO implementation, including tibrvj.jar, tibrvj.dll, and tibrv.dll files all from the same TIBCO release.

Name: Use this required field to specify or change the name of this instance of this component, which must be unique in the current EventFlow module. The name must contain only alphabetic characters, numbers, and underscores, and no hyphens or other special characters. The first character must be alphabetic or an underscore.

Adapter: A read-only field that shows the formal name of the adapter.

Class name: Shows the fully qualified class name that implements the functionality of this adapter. If you need to reference this class name elsewhere in your application, you can right-click this field and select Copy from the context menu to place the full class name in the system clipboard.

Start options: This field provides a link to the Cluster Aware tab, where you configure the conditions under which this adapter starts.

Enable Error Output Port: Select this check box to add an Error Port to this component. In the EventFlow canvas, the Error Port shows as a red output port, always the last port for the component. See Using Error Ports to learn about Error Ports.

Description: Optionally enter text to briefly describe the component's purpose and function. In the EventFlow Editor canvas, you can see the description by pressing Ctrl while the component's tooltip is displayed.

Use the Edit Schema tab to specify the schema of the output tuple for this adapter. For general instructions on using the Edit Schema tab, see the Properties: Edit Schema Tab section of the Defining Input Streams page.

Use the settings in this tab to allow this operator or adapter to start and stop based on conditions that occur at runtime in a cluster with more than one node. During initial development of the fragment that contains this operator or adapter, and for maximum compatibility with TIBCO Streaming releases before 10.5.0, leave the Cluster start policy control in its default setting, Start with module.

Cluster awareness is an advanced topic that requires an understanding of StreamBase Runtime architecture features, including clusters, quorums, availability zones, and partitions. See Cluster Awareness Tab Settings on the Using Cluster Awareness page for instructions on configuring this tab.

Use the Concurrency tab to specify parallel regions for this instance of this component, or multiplicity options, or both. The Concurrency tab settings are described in Concurrency Options, and dispatch styles are described in Dispatch Styles.
