Here you can find C# examples for Tibco EMS. Examples where created in VS2015 on Windows 10.
To successfully use the examples you will need a running Tibco EMS server.
This is a work in progress as I learn Tibco EMS.
- dotnet 4.5 VS2015
- Tibco.EMS.dll vs v4.0.30319, for Tibco EMS 8.3
- Tibco EMS Server running
Use the installer and accept all the default settings (TIB_ems-dev_8.3.0_win_x86_64_vc10.zip)
Start the EMS Server from Windows Menu
- TIBCO > Start EMS Server
This will open a windows command prompt and the server will be running.
You can skip setting the EMS Server as a windows sevice and just start it manually for local development or running these samples.
Start the EMS Administration Tool from Windows Menu
- TIBCO > Start EMS Administration Tool
After starting you will need to connect to the running EMS Server. The admin and passwords will be blank, just hit the enter key.
Here are a few commands you can run in the a cmd window while the EMS Server is running.
connect
Login name (admin):
Password:
Connected to: tcp://localhost:7222
tcp://localhost:7222>
The main commands we are interested in are below. While you run these examples you can use 'show topics and 'show queues' to see the messages are added on the topic or queue.
help
show topics
show topic topicname
show queues
show queue queuename
delete topic topicname
delete queue queuename
You can either start ReceiveHelloWorld first or SendHelloWorld. This example uses a Point-to-Point queue where the producers messages are saved in the queue until a consumer removes the messages and acknowledges receipt.
Run the executable
$ 1_Receive.exe
then, run the sender:
$ 1_Send.exe
The receiver will print the message it received from the Tibco EMS.
If you want to review the message on the queue, try using EMS Administrator Server show queues.
Start two or more instances of Receiver (subscriber/consumer) and then start the Send publilsher (producer).
A Hello World message will be published to all subscribes which are online. If a subscriber is offline it will not receive the message. To have an offline subscriber still receive the message we will need to create a durable subscriber.
By default, subscribers only receive messages when they are active. If messages arrive on the topic when the subscriber is not available, the subscriber does not receive those messages. The EMS APIs allow you to create durable subscribers to ensure that messages are received, even if the message consumer is not currently running. Messages for durable subscriptions are stored on the server as long as durable subscribers exist for the topic, or until the message expiration time for the message has been reached, or until the storage limit has been reached for the topic. Durable subscribers can receive messages from a durable subscription even if the subscriber was not available when the message was originally delivered. When an application restarts and recreates a durable subscriber with the same ID, all messages stored on the server for that topic are delivered to the durable subscriber. See Creating a Message Consumer for details on how to create durable subscribers.
Once 1_ReceiveDurable has ran once and created a durable subriber to the topic if this client stops and messages are delivered to the topic, once the client is restarted the client will receive the messages.

Either ReceiveByteMessage or SendByteMessage can be started. The example uses a Point-to-Point queue which allows for one message per consumer.
This use case is an example of where data needs to be exported out of a system and delivered to another vendor. Instead of writing a file to disk, pushing the file to a ftp site, giving the ftp credentials to the vendor, and the vendor pulling off the files as they are published, we just write a byte message to a queue and the consumer receives the messages from the queue.
This example uses an xml file which is then written to the queue as a byte array. We read the bytes from the file and write the bytes to a ByteMessage. The Consumer then receives the message and reads the bytes and writes the data back to disk as an xml file.
This use case is an example of one way to send detailed messages to Workers or even using Publisher and Subscibers. Another use case is if we are receiving soap messages which we need to re-publish to many subscribers.
One of the benefits of the Point-to-Point queue is you can keep adding messages to the queue and add more consumers as the work load increases.
Start one or more Workers (Consumers) and then start the Tasks (Producer). The Tasks app will generate 1000 numbers and each Worker will read one message and perform prime factorization on the number.
You can also add more Workers while the Tasks and other Workers are already running to help process messages.
IS this doable with TIBCO?

Starting EMS with SSL
- EMS .NET 2.0 clients use the Microsoft implementation of SSL. The Microsoft implementation of SSL is compatible with OpenSSL. Certificates required by the client can either be stored in files or the Microsoft certificate store. However, Microsoft requires that the root certificate be installed in the Microsoft Certificate Store, even when certificate files are in use.

Set the server to listen for SSL connections from clients by using the listen parameter in tibemsd.conf. To specify that a port accept SSL connections, specify the SSL protocol in the listen parameter as follows:

- Double Click into Trusted Root Certification Authorities
- Open with dbl click the SampleAuthority
- Click Details Tab
- Click Copy to File
- Click Next
- Select Base-64 encoded X.509 (.cer). Save to your project as SampleAuthorityBase64.cer.
- Open this file and copy everything betweeen -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- into the EMS server's client_root.cert.pem file.

Short review of Tibco EMS documentation
One producer and one consumer per message or multiple producures and consumers on one queue.
Producers address messages to a topic. Durable Subscribers for topics. Shared Subscriptions for topics.
Allows one producure to send a message to multiple subscribers simultaneously. Read up: does not send a copy to each. ... using EMS Multicast Daemon... on each client. Like EMS sends signal to each client's EMD Multicast Daemon, and the client pulls the message???? Reduces bandwidth...
-
PERSISTENT Producer waits for client to reply with confirmation. Writes data to disk. Data remains until client sends ACK.
-
NON_PERSISTENT Data in memory, if no client or EMS restarts data is lost.
-
RELAIABLE_DELIVERY - ...
If a consumer is connected the message will be dispatched to it. If there are no consumers connected the message will remain saved on disk until a consumer connects, whereupon it will be dispatched.
When a non-persistent message is sent to a queue, the broker saves it in memory. When a consumer connects the message is dispatched to it. If the broker is restarted before the message is sent then it will be lost forever.

- Message
- TextMessage
- MapMessage
- BytesMessage
- StreamMessage
- ObjectMessage
