Adapter Key Features :
- Easy-to-use GUI – All adapters use TIBCO Designer for configuring and maintaining each adapter.
• Built-in monitoring and control using TIBCO Hawk – All adapters provide vital business statistics (such as number of messages processed) to the Hawk console and also include Hawk microagents that provide methods to remotely query, set run-time parameters and stop a run-time adapter.
• Support for multiple message transports – TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO Enterprise for JMS can be used to transport messages to and from an adapter.
• Multiple Platform Support – Adapters are usually supported on multiple platforms such as Microsoft Windows, Solaris, and HP-UX.
• Connection Management – An adapter can detect and replace lost connections to its vendor application. Connection loss is detected upon receipt of a message intended for a particular application. Adapters support both synchronous and asynchronous attempts to replace a lost connection.
• Multi threading. Most adapters maintain a dynamic pool of threads for performing tasks, which allows the adapter to respond to and process multiple events simultaneously. The adapter can track and communicate event status without affecting other processing.
• Error Handling. All adapters use the same error handling mechanism to report run-time adapter errors.
• Multi-lingual Support. Most adapters support multi-byte character sets.
