Enterprise Application Interface

What is EAI ?EAI constitutes a basic framework that seamlessly links Heterogeneous business applications both packaged and Internally developed into one unified system so Processes and Data can be shared throughout the company and beyond, to include partners, customers and other stakeholders. Establish the communication between different application and different platforms also.Definition:EAI combines separate application into a co-operating federation of applicationIntegration: Extracting the information b/w Systems[Different system is known as Integration.

EAI MODEL

Point to point ~Middleware

EAI – Middleware Technology

Message-Oriented-MiddlewareGuarantee of DeliveryError Handling

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)Connection-Oriented communication servicesBasic data-type translation

Object Request Broker (ORB)Business logic levelConnects objects such as customers and accounts

Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM)MOM enables movement of data packaged as messages between independent applications on multiple platforms and across disparate networks with a guarantee of delivery. MOM is used in distributed networks to manage the message distribution, receipt confirmation, and error handling processes

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) MiddlewareRPC is synchronized with basic data-type translation and connection-oriented communication services and can also refer to products that use Interface Definition Language (IDL) to describe the argument lists for outgoing and incoming parameters. Normally DBMSs and Database Gateways incorporate RPCs into their applications.

Object Request Broker (ORB) MiddlewareORB Middleware connect at the business logic level by using defined standards and connecting objects, such as customers, accounts and transactions. This is most suitable to organizations obtaining new applications or developing applications internally.

EAI CONVERTS DATA INTO MESSAGES WHICH ARE UNDERSTANDABLE TO any kind of application

They are 2 types of integration Point to point integration Middleware baes application

Type of EAI

Point –to-point architecture

Server centric architecture

Net centric architecture

Point –to-point architecture

Client & server architecture

Best example is MQ-serious

Server centric architecture

It maintain the one centralized server

One drawback is all application come

Deadlock problem

All application run at time means that time centralized server asked which application is first

Best example is web method and sap xi

Centralized serverOracleSap

Peoplesoft

scebal

Net centric architecture

One centralized bus or network is available

Databases are communicate the bus architecture

Connect to the network and subscribe the data.

business communication. Drag & Drop B2B,B2C,A2A,SOA,E2A

TIBCO-THE INFORMATION BUS COMPANY It is one of the most powerful EAI tool There is no server in Tibco.That is the main

diference b/w others eai tools & tibco. Tibco follows bus architecher where as other

eai tools follows hub& spoke(client/server) architecher.

In tibco every thing is zero coding In other eai tools in addition with http,ftp,smtp

protocols we need separate Adapr for http,ftp..etc.But in tibco we need just http,ftp,…etc .These will take care about adapters.

As a tibco developer four things we need to know that Adapter-with which data will be

sent/receive by external system . Messaging –with which data will be sent

reliably between the systems. Schemas-define the structure for

incoming & outgoing Data Mapping –It means converting one

schema structure into another schema structure & performing business logic

Active Enterprise Adapter Palette

Adapter Request-Response Server Starts a process based on the receipt of a request from an adapter

• The adapter sends a request by way of a pre-configured request-response invocation service, and the process that is started acts as the implementation of the request.

• The process sends any required responses back to the adapter’s service using the Respond to Adapter Request activity. Adapter Subscriber

Starts a process based on the receipt of a message from the publication service of the specified adapter

Respond to Adapter Request

Is used to send a response to an adapter for a previously received request.

Publish to Adapter

publishes a message that can be received by an adapter’s subscription service

Active Enterprise Adapter Palette

Send Exception to Adapter Request

Used to send an exception to an adapter for a previously received request

Wait for Adapter Message

Waits for the receipt of a message from the publication service of the specified adapter

Wait for Adapter Request

Waits for the receipt of a request from an adapter request-response invocation service

• The adapter sends a request by way of a pre-configured service, and the process definition acts as the implementation of the request

• The process sends any required responses back to the adapter’s service by placing the Respond to Adapter Request activity at a later point in the process definition.

EJB PaletteEJB Overview

• EJB palette of TIBCO BusinessWorks allows to connect to J2EE-compliant application servers and invoke Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) on the servers

• The EJB specification includes support for distributed transactions. However, the EJB palette does not currently support client-managed transactions, including EJB calls. Therefore, you cannot call an EJB with the "Mandatory" transaction attribute.

• The EJB palette has been tested with the following application servers: • BEA WebLogic, Version 7.0 with service pack 2

• BEA WebLogic, Version 8.1 with service pack 1

• JBoss, Version 3.2.1

• IBM Websphere, Version 5.0.2

• A TIBCO BusinessWorks process instance acts as an EJB remote client

• To connect to an EJB server and invoke an EJB, the client must have the following in the classpath:

• the application server JAR files (supplied by the EJB server vendor) required for clients.

• the client JAR files that contains the required EJB client stubs (EJBHome, EJBObject) for invoking the desired beans

EJB Palette (Chargeable)

EJB Connection

EJB Home

Establishes a connection to the service, obtains a reference to the home object, and then obtains a reference to the remote object from the home object.

It can also be used to invoke a method on the EJB’s home object

EJB Remote

Invokes a method on the remote object obtained by the EJB Home activity

Must be placed after an EJB Home activity in a process definition

Specifies the connection configuration for the JNDI server• The Maximum Connections field specifies the maximum number of

InitialContexts TIBCO BusinessWorks will create at any given time

• The InitialContext is only used when obtaining a reference to the Home object. Once the Home object is obtained, the context is released back into the pool

File Palette

File Palette

Remove File

Rename File Is used to rename or move files

Can also rename directories (it cannot be used to move a directory to a new location)

Wait for File Change

Waits for a file change (creation, modification, or deletion) to occur during process execution

When this activity is encountered, the process instance is suspended and waits for the specified file to change before resuming

Removes the specified file

Can also remove empty directories

If an attempt is made to remove a directory that is not empty, an exception is thrown

Write File Writes the desired contents to the specified file

FTP PaletteFTP Connection

FTP Delete File

The input is defined in the Start activity of the called process

The output is defined in the End activity of the called process

Allows to assign a value to a user-defined process variable

When executed, the entire schema for the selected process variable is replaced with the specified values. Elements that do not have a value specified in the Input tab are set to null FTP connections are used when configuring activities in FTP palette.

Checkpoint Performs a checkpoint in a running process instance

A checkpoint saves the current process data and state so that it can be recovered at a later time in the event of a failure

If a process engine fails, all process instances can be recovered and resume execution at the location of their last checkpoint in the process definition

There is no input or output for the activity

General Activities PaletteConfirm

External Command Allows to execute an Operating System command

Waits for the command to complete before transitioning to the next activity

Optionally, the command’s output and any errors can be included in this activity’s output schema, written to a file, or both.

Confirms any confirmable messages received by process instance

Generate Error Generates an error and causes an immediate transition to any error

transitions, or if there are no error transitions, stops the process instance

Is useful within a group or within a called process (to catch and raise custom error conditions)

General Activities PaletteInspector

Label

Is used to write the output of any or all activities and process variables to a file and/or stdout

Particularly useful when debugging process definitions to see the entire schema instead of mapping specific elements to the Write File activity.

Activities and process variables within a subprocess are not available to the Inspector activity (but the output of a Call Process activity can be written using the Inspector activity)

To obtain the output from one or more activities or process variables within a subprocess, place the Inspector activity within the process definition of the subprocess.

Allows you to create a generic label for providing documentation and comments within process definition

Is not an activity (no transitions to or from it, no action)

Labels can be resized to cover an area. By applying a border and a background color it’s possible to visually group related activities within process definition

General Activities PaletteMapper

Notify Allows a process instance to send data to a corresponding process

instance containing a Wait activity or Receive Notification process starter

Notify Configuration resource and the key specified create the relationship between Notify activity and Wait or Receive Notification

Adds a new process variable to the process definition

New variable can be a simple datatype, a TIBCO ActiveEnterprise schema, an XML schema, or a complex structure

Notify Configuration Specifies a schema to use for passing data between executing

process instances

Corresponding Receive Notification, Notify and Wait activities use the same Notify Configuration resource to define the data for inter-process communication

Schema can be empty (pass data between processes isn’t needed)

General Activities PaletteNull

Receive Notification

Starts a process when another process executes a Notify activity with a matching key and Notify Configuration resource

The same Notify Configuration shared configuration resource must be specified by corresponding Receive Notification and Notify activities so that data can be passed from the process containing the Notify activity to the process started with Receive Notification

Activity with no action performed

Useful to join multiple process flows

Sleep

Suspends the process on the current transition for the given amount of time

In processes with multiple control flows, only the current execution branch of the process is suspended

General Activities PaletteTimer

WaitSuspends execution of the process instance and waits for a Notify activity with a matching key to be executed in another process instance

The same Notify Configuration shared configuration resource must be specified by corresponding Wait and Notify so that data can be passed from the process instance containing the Notify activity to this process instance

Starts a process at a specific time or periodically

Write to Log

Writes a message to the log

Logs are stored within the TIBCO BusinessWorks installation directory under the logs subdirectory

There is one log file for each process engine

HTTP PaletteHTTP Connection

HTTP Receiver

Starts a process based on the receipt of a HTTP request

Describes the characteristics of the connection used to receive incoming HTTP requests

At most one process with an HTTP Receiver or Wait for HTTP Request can use the same HTTP Connection resource (this restriction allows the HTTP server listening for incoming requests to dispatch the request to the correct process)

There can be more than one SOAP Event Source that uses the same HTTP Connection (or SOAP Event Source and HTTP Activity)

Allows to specify that HTTPS protocol must be used by clients

Proxy Configuration

Used to specify a proxy HTTP server when HTTP requests are sent outside of a firewall

HTTP PaletteSend HTTP Request

Send HTTP Response

Sends a response to a previously received HTTP request

Used in conjunction with the HTTP Receiver process starter or the Wait for HTTP Request activity

Default status line returned by this activity is "200 OK"

Sends a HTTP request to a web server

This activity can send a request to a server that complies with either the HTTP 1.0 or 1.1 specification

To specify HTTP version of the server you are sending the request to isn’t needed (TIBCO BW automatically sends request using the correct version based on version supported by the HTTP server)

Wait for HTTP Request

Waits for an incoming HTTP request within a process definition

Process instance suspends until incoming HTTP request is received

Java PaletteJava Code

Java Custom Function

Allows to create custom functions to use when mapping data in an activity’s input tab

These functions are also displayed when using the XPath Editor to build an XPath expression

To create a custom function, first write the function as a method of a Java class and compile the code into a Java class file. Then load that class file into the project using this resource

Allows to write standard Java code that can manipulate any of the process data or perform any custom action

Automatically creates an invoke() method in which code should be put

When input and output parameters are specified, get/set method code is automatically generated for the activity

Java Method Allows to invoke a method contained in a Java class

Java class file must be located in the classpath for TIBCO Designer and the TIBCO BusinessWorks process engine

Java PaletteJava Schema

Java To XML

Allows to convert a Java object’s data members into an XML document

Allows to specify a Java class that is used to configure a Java To XML or XML to Java activity

Java class is converted to an XML schema using the some rules

Send Mail

Sends an email by way of a SMTP server

Parse Palette

Data Format Shared Configuration that contains the specification for parsing or

rendering a text string using Parse Data and Render Data activities

Specifies the type of formatting for the text (delimited columns or fixed-width columns), the column separator for delimited columns, the line separator, and the fill character and field offsets for fixed-width columns

Parse Data Takes a text string or input from a file and processes it, turning it into

a schema tree based on the specified Data Format specified

Each column of an input line is transformed into the corresponding item in the specified data schema. Each line is treated as a record, and multiple lines result in a repeating data schema containing the lines of the input text string.

Render Data Takes an instance of a data schema and renders it as a text string

(based on a specified Data Format shared configuration)

Each record in the input data schema is transformed into a line of output text. Each record in a repeating data schema is transformed into a separate line in the output text string

RMI Lookup The RMI Lookup activity retrieves a reference to a remote object from

the specified registry server. The object reference output by this activity can be passed to a Java Code or Java Method activity to invoke methods on the remote object.

RMI Server The RMI Server process starter registers the specified remote object

name with the specified registry server and then creates process instances to handle incoming requests for the object. The process definition acts as the implementation of the specified object.

SOAP Palette

SOAP Event Source Creates a process instance for incoming SOAP requests

SOAP Event Source process starter configuration creates a concrete WSDL file that describes the web service implemented

WSDL file is created based on a WSDL file resource in the project, but this process starter allows you to reconfigure web service definition

Retrieve Resources

Generates a WSDL file containing a concrete service description of any process definition that has a SOAP Event Source process starter (allowing clients to access the WSDL for a web service that is implemented by a TIBCO BusinessWorks process definition)

Also used to retrieve other resources (XSDs or process definitions, ...)

Normally used in conjunction with an HTTP Receiver process starter and a Send HTTP Response activity

SOAP Request Reply Performs a request on the specified web service and expects a reply

from the web service

Both document and RPC web services invocation are allowed

Simple Object Access ProtocolSimple Object Access Protocol(SOAP)(SOAP)

is a lightweight protocol for the exchange of information between web services.

SOAP consists of three parts: • An envelope that defines a framework for

describing what is in a message and how to process it.

• A set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes.

• A convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses.

TCP Activities PaletteRead TCP Data

The Read TCP Data activity reads data from an open TCP connection. The connection must be opened by an activity or process starter that executed previously in the process definition. Activities that can open a TCP connection are: TCP Receiver, TCP Open Connection, and Wait for TCP Request. The activity that opens a TCP connection places a handle to the open connection in its connectionKey output element. The connectionKey is mapped to this activity’s input.

TCP Close Connection The TCP Close Connection activity closes a TCP connection opened by a

previously executed activity or process starter. Activities that can open a TCP connection are: TCP Receiver, TCP Open Connection, and Wait for TCP Request. The activity that opens a TCP connection places a handle to the open connection in its connectionKey output element. The connectionKey is mapped to this activity’s input

TCP ConnectionThe TCP Connection is a shared configuration resource that specifies the connection information for the TCP server. This resource is used when a process definition acts as a TCP client connecting to a remote server or when a process definition acts as a TCP server accepting incoming TCP connections.

TCP Activities PaletteTCP Open Connection

The TCP Open Connection activity opens a connection to a TCP server. After establishing the connection, the activity places a handle to the open connection in the connectionKey output element. This connection key can be used by subsequent activities in the process definition to read data from, write data to, or close the connection.

TCP Receiver The TCP Receiver process starter starts a new process when a client requests a TCP connection.

When a connection request occurs, the process starter places a handle to the open connection in the connectionKey output element. This connection key can be used by subsequent activities in the process definition to read data from, write data to, or close the

Wait for TCP Request

The Wait for TCP Request activity waits for a TCP client connection request. When a connection request occurs, the activity places a handle to the open connection in the connectioney output element. This connection key can be used by subsequent activities in the process definition to read data from, write data to, or close the connection. .

Write TCP Data

The Write TCP Data activity sends data on the specified TCP connection. The connection must be opened by an activity or process starter that executed previously in the process definition. Activities that can open a TCP connection are: TCP Receiver, TCP Open Connection, and Wait for TCP Request. The activity that opens a TCP connection places a handle to the open connection in its connectionKey output element. The connectionKey is mapped to this activity’s input.

Transaction PaletteJTA UserTransaction Configuration

The JTA UserTransaction Configuration shared configuration resource contains the information required to communicate with a Java Transaction API (JTA) transaction manager. This resource is used by transaction groups that use the JTA UserTransaction type

Transaction StateThe Transaction State activity can be used in a transaction group to obtain the current state of the transaction or to set the transaction to a rollback only state. When a transaction is set to the rollback only state, the only outcome of the transaction that is permitted is a rollback

XA TransactionManager ConfigurationThe XA TransactionManager Configuration shared configuration resource contains the information required to communicate with an XA-compliant transaction manager. This resource is used by transaction groups that use the XA Transaction type.

WSDL Palette

Message Used to define the type of information being exchanged within a web

service

One or more Message components can be added to a WSDL resource

WSDL

A WSDL file is an XML instance of the WSDL XML Schema

A WSDL resource is composed of a series of definitions that describe the format and roles of messages used in web services

Port Type Describes the operations that are supported by the web service

One or more PortType components can be added to a WSDL resource

Once the portType component has been created and selected within the project, Operation component becomes available in WSDL palette

Operation Describes the message formats for the incoming and outgoing

messages required by the activities supported by the portType

One or more Operation components can be added to a PortType component

XML Activities Palette

Render XML Takes an instance of an XML schema element and renders it as a

stream of bytes containing XML or an XML string

The schema is processed based on the XSD file specified.

Parse XML

Takes a binary XML file or an XML string and processes it, turning it into an XML schema tree based on the XSD or DTD specified

Transform XML Allows to transform an input XML document into the output specified

by the given XSLT File shared configuration resource

This activity allows to use the XSLT file instead of manually creating mappings

Where to use mapper?In the IP based projects, using IP template, one or more BW mapper activities are used in the “Exits” provided in each IP Pattern Templates used to created BW Services.

BW Mapper – Useful Details Input Editor – Select Target schema to which

inbound data needs to be transformed to. Input – Used to map data available in the

previous activities in the process to the target format. Normally, a simple mapping involves “dragging and dropping” from the source input field to the target field in output schemaThe BW Mapping document is used as a source for mapping specifications in IP projects

Output – A tree format view of the target schema

Others – We can add, insert, move the elements of the schema in the Input tab using the buttons available.

Edit Statement

The Edit Statement button is used to select a Statement type on a particular field.

In IP projects its most commonly used to coerce the “Any” element in the EMS Body section to appropriate XSD operation element.

Can also be used to set the cardinality for mapping a particular elements – whether Optional to Optional, Required to Required, etc

Other uses include creating For Each, If, Copy, Copy-Contents, Choose statements etc on a particular field mapping.

Edit Statement – common usage Variable – Used for storing an intermediate

value which needs to be used in a complex mapping.

For Each – Used for mapping aggregates from input schema to aggregates in output schema

Choose – This helps us in mappings where several conditions are involved with each condition resulting in different value for target field

If – A simple if condition Copy-of – Used to copy an aggregate directly to

the target aggregate, when both source and target aggregate have same structure

Explore the Edit statement in the BW mapper activity for more functionalities

XPath Formula Builder If a field mapping involves slightly more complex

transformations, then the formula builder helps in creating the statement to map the field

Typical examples could be if-then conditions, comparisons, mathematical or logical functions etc

Helps in using the basic functions available out of the box in the designer

Can be used wherever icc2.jar functions need to be used in the mapping

Clicking on XPath Formula Builder button opens up a new window for creating the mapping statement

• To create sets of activities to be repeated (iterations)

• To create set of activities that participate in transaction

• To create critical section that synchronizes process definitions

• To specify that the first activity that completes should determine which transition(s) to take to continue processing. This allows you to wait for one or more incoming events and continue processing based on what incoming event was received first.

Loops• Loops allow you to execute a series of activities more than once• Types of loops that are available are:

• Iterate Loop• Repeat Until True Loop• Repeat On Error Until True Loop

Activity Output and Groups• If the group is used for a loop (iterate, repeat until true, and so on), activity output in the group is reset so that activities in subsequent iterations of the group will not have access to output data from previous iterations

• If you wish to store data from each successive iteration of a loop, • Create a process variable and use the Assign activity in the loop to store or alter data for each iteration.• Accumulate the output of each execution of one activity in the group into a list.

Critical Section Groups

• Critical section groups are used to synchronize process instances so that only one process instance executes the grouped activities at any given time.

• Any concurrently running process instances that contain a corresponding critical section group wait until the process instance that is currently executing the critical section group completes.

Different Types of Variables• Global Variables• Process Variables• Shared Variables

• Global Variables — These variables allow you to specify constants that can be used throughout the project.

Global Variables

TIBCO Administrator

• TIBCO Administrator allows you to upload, deploy and monitor TIBCO applications on machines that belong to an administration domain. TIBCO

• Administrator provides the following modules to manage users, resources and applications:

• • User Management. This module allows you to create users and roles, and assign them access rights to TIBCO Administrator consoles, applications and application repositories.

• • Resource Management. This module allows you to manage TIBCO software installed on other machines in the domain and monitor machines in the domain.

• • Application Management. This module allows you to upload, deploy and monitor applications. You can also start and stop application service instances or process engines.

Architecture Overview

1. Tomcat web server—Manages basic communications and makes TIBCO Administrator available.2. Administration server—Manages domain and application repositories.3. User Management—Manages access rights for user and roles to TIBCO Administrator modules and repositories. 4. Resource Management—Allows you to view the status of all machines in an administration domain 5. Application Management—Allows you to deploy and monitor applications.

Administration Domain An administration domain is a collection of users, machines, and services.

The administration domain is managed by a administration server, which is assisted by a TIBCO Hawk Agent running on each machine in the administration domain.

A TIBCO administration domain consists of these elements:

Administration server Machines User and Access Information Application Configuration Runtime Application TIBCO Hawk Agent

TIBCO RENDEZVOUS

Objectives

Completing this unit will enable us to Define the role of the TIB in a distributed

computing environment. Describe the unique characteristics of the TIB. Define subject-based addressing. Define TIB message interaction types. Describe TIB architecture. Describe the TIB programming model. Define what function RV Router Daemons

perform. Understand how to develop subject naming

schemes.

TIB Middleware Messaging

The TIB allows a move away from complex interfaces

Application messages contain a large amount of ‘infrastructure’code, some as much as 60-70%.

The actual application functionality occupies the rest.

TIB moves the communications infrastructure away from the applications and into a packaged software "daemon”.

Allows programmers and designers to concentrate on application functionality, rather than low level network and operating system details.

TIB Architecture

The information bus in a distributed collection of TIB/Rendezvous daemons exchange multicast

messages in a peer-to-peer manner.

Multiple applications can connect to a local RVD or an

application can connect remotely to an RVD for message exchange

on the network.

The RVD manages all the complex details of data

distribution to other RVDs.

Subject Based Addressing

TIB/Rendezvous software uses subject-based addressing™technology to direct messages to their destinations, so applicationprocesses can communicate without knowing the details of networkaddresses or connections.

Subject-based addressing conventions define a uniform name space for messages and their destinations.

The locations of component processes become entirely transparent;any application component can run on any network host without modification, recompilation or reconfiguration.One can dynamically add, remove, and modify components of a distributed system without affecting other components.

Subject-based Addressing is not tied to any name service. Subject names can be registered, and browsed, in any LDAP server or other name services.

Subject Naming

The TIB allows a move away from complex interfaces

Application messages contain a large amount of ‘infrastructure’code, some as much as 60-70%.

The actual application functionality occupies the rest.

TIB moves the communications infrastructure away from the applications and into a packaged software "daemon”.

Allows programmers and designers to concentrate on application functionality, rather than low level network and operating system details.

Subject Naming

Subject naming is the key to any TIB system. Every name should consist of these parts: <scope>.<type>.<filter>

Scope defines the universe within which the subject naming convention is valid.

Type should match exactly the object name of the data object transported on this subject.

Filter specifies some additional filters that can be generated dynamically and/or read from a configuration.

TIB Middleware Messaging

The current implementation limits subject names.

Total length of 255 characters (including delimiters)

Maximum element length is 252 characters

Subject-BasedAddressing

Accesses data rather than computers.

Allows data to come from different sources.

Programs are not topology / address dependent.

Users and programmers need not know networking details.

Implements location transparency.

De-couples front-end from back-end.

Valid Subject Name Examples

• NEWS.LOCAL.POLITICS.CITY_COUNCIL

• NEWS.NATIONAL.ARTS.MOVIES.REVIEWS

Messages and Data

RV uses a unified data representation to exchange messages among all supported platforms.

Translates between universal wire format and local data formats.

Messages are the common currency that TIB/Rendezvous uses to exchange data.

Messages contain fields of self-describing data. Every message has a subject name that describes its

destination. All data that enters or leaves a program through the RV

daemon must be encapsulated in the fields of a message.

TIB Router Daemons

TIB/Rendezvous provides a facility (RVRD) for creating "software routers" that send information from one sub-net to another.

Routing daemons forward broadcast messages between networks via TCP “neighbor” connections.

Communicating applications remain de-coupled from network

addresses and other details.

Delivering messages between networks requires RVRD.

TIB Router Daemons

RVRD’s allow RV messages to be exchanged across the WAN, or

through firewalls.

TCP connections are used between RVRDs to exchange RV

messages.

Each LAN requires an RVRD.

Multiple RVRDs on a LAN can cause duplicate message delivery.

Qualities of Service

Fault Tolerance: When a process dies another rapidly assumes active

duty. Implemented by RVFT. Distributed Queues: Load balancing among the different receivers. Implemented by RVDQ. Transactional: Messages grouped into transactional brackets. Implemented by RVTX. Data Security: Conversation between sender and listener is encrypted. Implemented by RVDS.

TIBCO EMS

You need a messaging service to integrate applications within an enterprise.

JAVA Message Service 1.1 (JMS) is a JAVA frame work specification for messaging between applications.

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service implements and integrates several message services including JMS.

In JMS there is one producer and one/more than one customers. The producer is the creator of message.

Messages are the structured data that one application sends to another.

The TIBCO EMS server is an intermediary which sends the messages to the correct destination.

The server also provides fault-tolerance, message routing and communication with other messaging systems such as TIBCO Rendezvous and TIBCO Smart Sockets.

JMS Supports 2 messaging models:

Point-To-Point (Queues). Publish and subscribe (Topics).

Point-To-Point

If there is only one producer and only one consumer then the messaging is called Point-to-point.

A queue is used to store point-to-point message until it is received by the consumer.

The producer sends the message to the queue;the consumer retrieves the message from the queue and sends back the acknowledgement.

Publish And Subscribe

In this model, the producer is known as publisher and the consumer is known as a subscriber.

Topic is used to store messages in such a messaging system. This type of messaging is also known as broadcasting messaging.

In default mode if messages are delivered when the subscriber is not available, the subscriber doesn’t receive those messages. But we can create durable subscriptions.

Messages for durable subscriptions are stored on the server until the message expires or the storage limit is reached.

Subscribers can receive messages from a durable subscription even if the subscriber was not available when the message was originally delivered.

Messages

JMS Messages have a standard structure. This structure includes the following sections:

Header (Required) Properties (Optional) Body (Optional).

Header Fields JMS Destination-Destination to which message is sent.

JMS Delivery Mode-Persistent or Non persistent message

JMS Expiration-Length of time that message will live before expiration. If set to 0,message doesn't expire.

JMS Priority-Uses a numerical ranking, between 0&9, to define message priority as normal or expedited.

JMS Message ID-Value uniquely identifies each message sent by a provider.

JMS Timestamp-Timestamp of time when message was handed off to a provider to be sent.

JMS Correlation ID-This ID can be used to link messages, such as linking a response message to a request message.

JMS Reply To-A destination to which a message reply should be sent.

JMS Type-Message type identifier.

JMS Redelivered-If this is set, it is possible that the message was delivered to the client earlier, but not acknowledged at that time.

Properties

There are applications, vendors, and administrators on JMS systems can add optional properties.

The properties area is optional and can be left empty.

Message Bodies Message-This message type has no body.

Text message-A java.lang.String

MapMessage-A set of name/value pairs. The names are java.lang.String objects, and the values are Java primitive value types or their wrappers.

Bytes Message-A stream of uninterrupted bytes.

Stream Message-A stream of primitive values in the Java programming language.

Object Message-A serializable object constructed bin the Java programming language.

Message Persistence JMS Defines two message delivery modes, persistent and

non-persistent. This mode is set by the message sender or publisher in the JMS delivery Mode message header field.

Non persistent messages are never written to persistent storage. Persistent messages are logged to persistent storage when they are sent.

Messages with the persistent delivery mode are always written to persistent storage, except when they are published to a topic that has no durable subscribers.

When a topic has no durable subscribers, there are no subscribers that need messages recent in the event of a server failure.Therfore, messages do not need to be saved, and performance is improved because disk I/O is not required.

Message Acknowledgement

The interface specification for JMS requires that message delivery be guaranteed under many, but not all, circumstances. The specification defines three levels of acknowledgements:

DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE,for consumers that are tolerant of duplicate messages.

AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE,in which the session automatically acknowledges a client’s receipt of a message.

CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE,in which the client acknowledges the message by calling the message’s acknowledge method.

Undelivered Message Queue

If a message is to be removed from the system in any way besides being properly consumed by a message consumer, the server checks the message for the JMS_TIBCO_PRESERVE_UNDELIVERED property.

When JMS_TIBCO_PRESERVE_UNDELIVERED is set to true, the server moves the message to the undelivered message queue,$sys.undelivered.

This undelivered message queue is a system queue that is always present and can’t be deleted.

To set use of the undelivered message queue, the application that sends or publishes the message must set the Boolean JMS_TIBCO_PRESERVE_UNDELIVERED property to true before sending or publishing the message.

For example:

Message.setBooleanProperty(“JMS_TIBCO_PRESERVE_UNDELIVERED ,true);

You can only set the undelivered property on individual messages, there is no way to set the undelivered message queue as an option at the per-topic or per-queue level.

Reliable Message Delivery

JMS has PERSISTENT and NON-PERSISTENT delivery modes for both topic and queue. In addition to these modes, you can use Tibjms.RELAIBLE_DELIVERY mode from TIBCO Enterprise Message Service.

PERSISTENT and NON-PERSISTENT delivery requires the server to return a system message to the client application to ensure proper handling of messages. Using Tibjms,RELAIBLE_DELIVERY as the JMS Delivery Mode precludes the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server from sending this system message.

In RELAIBLE_DELIVERY mode, the client application doesn’t wait for this system message-indeed, the server doesn’t send it. Reliable mode decreases the volume of message traffic, allowing better usage of system resources and higher message rates.

Message Priority The JMS specification includes a message header field in

which senders can set the priority of a message, as a value in the range[0,9].EMS does support message priority.

When the EMS server has several messages ready to deliver to a consumer client, and must select among them, then it delivers messages with higher priority before those with lower priority.

However, priority ordering applies only when the server has a backlog of deliverable messages for a consumer. In contrast, when the server rarelyhas only one message at at time to deliver to a consumer, then the priority ordering feature will not to be apparent.

Fault Tolerance

You can configure TIBCO Enterprise Message Service servers as primary and backup servers to provide fault tolerance for your environment.

The primary and backup servers act as a pair, with the primary server accepting client connections and performing the work of handling messages, and the secondary server acting as a backup incase of failure. When the active server fails, the backup server assumes operation and becomes the primary active server.

Routing

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service provides the ability for servers to route messages between each other.

Topic messages can be routed across multiple hops,provided there are no cycles.

Queue messages can travel almost one hop to any other server from the server that owns the queue.

SSLTIBCO Enterprise Message Service supports SSL.SSL is

supported between the following components:

Between an EMS Java client and the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server.

Between an EMS C or C# client and the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server.

Between the administration tool and the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server.

Between routed servers & fault_tolerant servers.

Static Queues And Topics

Destinations for messages can be either Topics or Queues. A destination can be created statistically in the server configuration files, or dynamically by a client application.

Configuration information for static queues and topics is stored in configuration files for the TIBCO Enterprise Message server. To manage static destinations, you can edit the configuration files using a text editor, you can use the administration tool, or you can use the administration APIs

Static queues and topics are administered by the server. Clients retrieve the destination using JNDI.

For example, the following code retrieves the initial context using the JNDI properties specified by env, then looks up a Topic named My Topic.

Context ctx=new InitialContext(env);Topic myTopic=(Topic)ctx.lookup(“MyTopic”);

Dynamic Queues And Topics

Dynamic queues and topics are created on-the-fly by applications using QueueSession.createQueue() and TopicSession.createTopic().

Dynamic queues and topics do not appear in the configurations files, and exist as long as there are messages or consumers on destination. A client cannot use JNDI to lookup dynamic queues and topics.

When you use the show queues or show topics command in the administration tool, you see both static and dynamic topics and queues. The dynamic topics and queues have an asterisk(*) in front of their name in the list of topics or queues.

Dynamic queues and topics inherit properties from their respective parents. When shown by the administration tool, properties of a queue or topic may have an asterisk(*) character in front of its name. This means that this property was inherited from the parent queue or topic and can’t be changed.

Destination BridgesYou can create server-based bridges between destinations. This allows all messages delivered to one destination to also be delivered to the bridged destination.

You can bridge between different destination types, between the same destination type, or to more than one destination.

For example, you can create a bridge between a topic and a queue or from topic to another topic.

Starting the Administration Tool The administration tool is located in your<installation _ path>/bin

directory and is a stand-alone executable named tibemsadmin on UNIX and tibemsadmin.exe on windows platforms.

Type tibemsadmin – help to display information about tibemsadmin startup parameters. All tibemsadmin parameters are optional.

When you First Start tibemsadmin The administration tool has a default user with the name

admin.This is the default user for logging in to the administration tool.

To protect access to the server configuration, you should assign a password to the user admin .

To assign a password to admin: Log in and connect to the administration tool.

Change the password by entering: Set password by admin<password>

When you restart the admin tool and type connect, the admin tool now requires your password before connecting to the server.

TIB/Hawk agents are distributed, autonomous, smart softwareprocesses that monitor distributed systems and applications activity.

Agents are distributed because each agent resides on one computer and typically is responsible for all monitoring on that computer.Instead of being concentrated in one central console, monitoring activity is spread over the entire network.

There is no network polling and no centralized decision intelligence.


Agents are autonomous because they operate independently of the TIB/Hawk Display program and are usually active whenever the operating system they monitor is active.

Agents are smart because they automate monitoring tasks using sets of rules that hold your management and automation logic.

Monitoring Evolution

Monitoring Evolution

Monitoring network hardware (routers, hubs, WAN connections, etc.). Systems administrators have many choices for monitoring the physical connections that make up a network.

Monitoring distributed operating system services. There are fewer tools for monitoring network operating systems than for network hardware.

Monitoring distributed applications. There are even fewer tools for monitoring the activities of distributed applications on a network.

The Agent

TIB/Hawk Agents are•Java processes that runs on every monitored and managed node.

•AutonomousEach agent can be instructed to collect and monitor

data that is totally disparate from the activity of another.Fault-tolerant in that the actions performed by the

agents are completely independent of each other.so in the event of network catastrophe, agents can

continue to locally monitor data and take action.

Microagents

Microagents are•The Agent’s interfaces to the monitored and managed objects.•Support methods that an Agent can invoke for collecting information or taking action.

Microagents range from•application oriented to.•operation system oriented to.•Generic.

Microagents

•Applications that incorporate the Application Management Interface (AMI) dynamically appear as microagents to the Agent.

All TIB/Adapter SDK built applications automatically have microagents support.
