Overview TIB/Adapter for ActiveDatabase :
- A bi-directional gateway between ODBC databases and the TIB/Rendezvous messaging system
- Using triggers, proactively notifies TIB/Rendezvous applications of changes that occur inside the database
- Can subscribe to TIB/Rendezvous messages and capture them in target database tables
- Triggers can be attached to target tables to cause other actions to occur with the database
Adapter Architecture
Catalog Tables
Contain info needed by the agent for publication and subscription
- Publication – Source table name, publishing table name, subject, data format, quality of service, etc.
- Subscription – Destination table name, subject, data format, quality of service, etc.
Publishing Tables
- Automatically created by configuration tool
- Consist of some or all of the columns from the original source table plus some additional columns used by the ActiveDB agent (adapter)
- Populated via triggers and stored procedures generated by the configuration tool
