AdapterLifecycle:
Thefollowingisanoverviewoftheadapterlifecycle:
1.Installthevendorapplicationtowhichtheadapterconnectsbeforeinstallingthe
adapter.Formanyadapters,theadapterandvendorapplicationneednotbeinstalledon
thesamemachine.
2.AdaptersdependonothersoftwarefromTIBCO.Beforeinstallinganadapter,the
TIBCORuntimeAgentsoftwaremustbeinstalledoneachcomputeronwhichthe
adapterruns.
3.CreateanadapterinstanceandsaveitinaprojectusingTIBCODesigner.Aproject

4.Deploytheadapter.AnadapterinstanceisdeployedusingTIBCOAdministrator.
a)UsingTIBCODesigner,createanEnterpriseArchive(EAR)file,whichcontains
informationabouttheadapterinstancesandprocessesyouwishtodeploy.
b)UsingTIBCOAdministrator,uploadtheEAR,thendeploytheadapteronthe
machine(s)ofyourchoice.Youcansetruntimeoptionsbeforedeployment.
c)UsingTIBCOAdministrator,startandstoptheadapter.
d)MonitortheadapterusingthebuiltinmonitoringtoolsprovidedbyTIBCO

WhatisLoadBalancing?
Load Balancing is a technique to distribute workload evenly across two or more
machines or resources, in order to get optimal resource utilization, maximize
throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload. Using multiple Receivers
with load balancing, instead of a single Receiver, may increase reliability through
redundancy.

WhatisCertifiedMessaging?
Rendezvous (RV) uses 'UDP'. Therefore each message is sent as a packet with a
sequencenumberandasubjectattached. So, RV is also called as "Subject Based
Messaging". Rendezvous Daemon (RVD) converts the message into packets and
publish to the network. At the receiver end, RVD again converts the packets to the
messageandsendsittothereceiver.Thismessageisstoredonlyfor60secondsin
theRVDbeforethemessageislost.Toavoidthis,RVintroducedaconceptcalled
'Certified Messaging(CM)'. RVCM uses Ledger to save the messages. The sender
