Tibco - EAI Solution

Tibco - EAI Solution

TIBCO realizes that legacy methods of integration will continue to exist either because they meet current business needs or because they are difficult to replace. TIBCO EAI solutions provide interfaces for exchanging information with leading technologies such as COM, CORBA, MQSeries, CICS, and IMS, and with implementations of JMS from other vendors. TIBCO EAI solutions increase the flexibility of networks using a unique architecture that connects each application to the integration platform through a single point of contact called an adapter. Any application or system connected to the integration platform is automatically connected to every other connected application or system. TIBCO EAI solutions route information by subject name as opposed to addressing it to recipient applications or individuals. New applications can instantly begin publishing and receiving information to communicate with the other applications and systems in the enterprise. Information can also be dynamically routed based on content. TIBCO EAI solutions automatically transform information as it moves across the network resolving incompatibilities so each system can send and receive information in its native format. TIBCO EAI solutions support a wide range of input/output options including HTTP, FTP, SMTP, database and flat files, XML and SWIFT, and any data format using Java-based plug-ins.

Tibco Adapters

TIBCO Adapters enable the integration of applications using a simple configuration GUI instead of by hard-coding connections. TIBCO Oracle ADB Adapter enables importing and exporting of data from Oracle database in real time with other applications and databases. Available messaging types include request/reply, publish/subscribe, and publish/reply interactions. The TIBCO Adapter SDK promotes rapid development and ensures that adapters built using it have the same external interface and that they plug into the overall TIBCO ActiveEnterprise product suite in a consistent manner.

A set of reusable components that aids in rapid development of your custom adapter, with few constraints placed on the development process. Consistent external interface to adapters and applications built using the SDK. Consistent configuration data and metadata representation through the TIBCO Designer tool.

Tibco - Messaging
The Enterprise Backbone

Enterprise Messaging Service

TIBCO Enterprise Messaging Service provides full support for Suns Java Messaging Service 1.1 specification. The Java Message Service (JMS) API is a messaging standard that allows application components based on the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) to create, send, receive, and read messages. It enables distributed communication that is loosely coupled, reliable, and asynchronous. TIBCO is a leading provider of high performance messaging software. It scales well in its ability to handle large traffic and deliver information to very large numbers of recipients, and also proves to be robust by providing guaranteed delivery of data.

Tibco Rendezvous (RV)

An RV message is simply a message that traverses the wire using TIBCO's proprietary TRDP protocol (at a high level), which is really UDP (at a lower level - and only most of the time, as messages published to inbox addresses traverse the wire using TCP). RVD Shields applications from network details RVD uses a combination of UDP and TCP The Information Bus (TIB) is Virtual and created when RVDs communicate RVD uses existing network

TIB/RV Messages

RV Certified Message

Certified messaging adds a persistent ledger that guarantees delivery over network outages and restarts The CM ledger is file based for persistence or memory based for speed. CM is configured within the RV API Utilizes the TRDP networking layer Adds Reliability Keeps a copy of the message packets in a memory based buffer for 60 sec. Re-transmits lost packets within that 60 second period upon negative acknowledgement Clients send a request message to a running server that is listening on a specified subject The clients message contains a reply subject The client subscribes to the reply subject before the request message is sent to the server When the clients reply is returned, a communication loop is completed The -INBOX is a unique subject name made by its RVD that only this client can subscribe to When using the SendRequest() call RVD
Makes and Subscribes to the -INBOX, Handles the returning messages, Cancels the -INBOX subscription

Tibco Hawk Monitor

The Systems Monitoring and Management
HAWK Monitor

TIBCO Hawk is a sophisticated tool for monitoring and managing distributed applications and systems throughout the enterprise. With Hawk, system administrators can monitor application parameters, behavior, and loading activities for all nodes in a local or wide-area network and take action when pre-defined conditions occur. In many cases, runtime failures or slowdowns can be repaired automatically within seconds of their discovery, reducing unscheduled outages and slowdowns of critical business systems. Hawk can monitor any process which implements Application Monitoring Interface (AMI). For example, if you are writing an application in JAVA or CPP, then you have to incorporate AMIs in the interfaces of your program you want to monitor. Then those interfaces will be available to your Hawk. You can use them as the micro agent for your application. The AMI API is great, but not required for simple monitoring. The worst case scenario is that you have to write the script to do the application check. Hawk can monitor the output of the script, and do what is necessary. HAWK Products

CISCO Offering Clearing Process : Existing process

High level overview of a TIBCO implementation by Zensar consultants for client Cisco Systems.
Figure 1. High-level view of the existing Learning Offering Creation Process (OCP)

Learning Content Management System (LCMS)

Batch Process Runs every x minutes Service Request Broker (SRB)

Education Management System (EMS)

1. 2. 3.

The batch process is configured to run every x minutes to transfer fresh data from LCMS to EMS. The batch process checks for any new updates in the LCMS database table. In case of new updates, the batch process sends the data packet as a request to the SRB broker in XML over HTTP. SRB routes the XML data packet to the target application EMS.

Case Study 2 :

CISCO Offering Clearing Process : Proposed Solution

The process had its challenges, quite typical to many enterprise integration initiatives

Non-real time exchange of information due to batch processing of jobs Concerns over the scalability (ability to handle increase in traffic) of the integration broker that was developed in-house Synchronous only-nature of HTTP

Figure 2. High-level view of the Re-Architected Learning Offering Creation Process (OCP)

Case Study 2 :

CISCO Offering Clearing Process : Proposed Solution

LCMS, the source application, is configured to publish new updates into a TIBCO specific queue table. The Oracle ADB Adapter immediately senses any updates on the queue table and publishes the data packet in an XML format into Ciscos MMX bus (JMS). The BusinessWorks process, modeled in a GUI interface by the application designers, picks up the data packet from the MMX bus. A feature of the MMX bus is that it guarantees durability i.e. even if the bus terminates for any reason, the messages are not lost but are persisted in the file system or a database and are recovered when the bus is operational again. A web service sub-process modeled in the BusinessWorks process makes a call to EMS, the target application and sends the XML data package.
