Oracle® Fusion Middleware
Part 25. Routing

TIBCO Rendezvous^® is a low latency messaging product for real-time high throughput data distribution applications. It facilitates the exchange of data between applications over the network.

A TIBCO Rendezvous daemon runs on each participating node on the network. All data sent to and read by each application passes through the daemon. API Gateway uses the TIBCO Rendezvous API to communicate with a TIBCO Rendezvous daemon running locally (by default) to send messages to other TIBCO Rendezvous programs.

You can configure the TIBCO Rendezvous filter to route messages (using a TIBCO Rendezvous daemon) to other TIBCO Rendezvous programs. This filter is found in the Routing category of filters.

Configure the following fields to route messages to other TIBCO Rendezvous programs:

Name:

Enter an appropriate name for this filter in the field provided.

TIBCO Rendezvous Daemon to Use:

Click the button on the right, and select a previously configured TIBCO Rendezvous Daemon from the tree. The API Gateway sends messages to the specified TIBCO Rendezvous Subject on this daemon. To add a TIBCO Rendezvous Daemon, right-click the TIBCO Rendezvous Daemons tree node, and select Add a TIBCO Rendezvous Daemon. For more details, see the TIBCO Rendezvous Daemon topic.

TIBCO Rendezvous Subject:

The message is sent with the subject entered here meaning that all other TIBCO daemons on the network that have subscribed to this subject name will receive the message. The subject name comprises a series of elements, including wildcards (for example, *), separated by dot characters, for example:
