ADAPTERS FEATURES

Adapter Features
Companies in a wide range of industries have successfully used TIBCO adapters to integrate different packages and custom applications. TIBCO BusinessWorks includes second-generation adapters that are based on the same technology but have the following new features:
Easy Configuration With Design-Time Adapter—All adapters included with TIBCO BusinessWorks use a unified GUI that simplifies adapter configuration. A Design-Time Adapter allows you to directly access the source application from the TIBCO Designer GUI and specify the data the business process needs.
Easy Inclusion in Business Processes—The business process can communicate with adapters by using activities found in the adapter palette. These activities interact with each of the standard adapter services. For example, the Publish to Adapter activity sends a message to an adapter subscription service.
Easy Deployment and Monitoring—When you are ready to deploy your project, the TIBCO Designer deployment palette allows you to assign each adapter to its own machine. At run-time, the TIBCO Administrator GUI monitors each adapter in its own panel. You can therefore easily see if one of the adapters is a bottleneck in the business process flow.
