Configuring the TIBCO Rendezvous Distributed Queues probe

How to configure the TIBCO RVQDQ probe.

About this task

The TIBCO RVDQ probe runs on a TIBCO Rendezvous daemon that is configured in the Architecture School Physical View.

To configure the default probe or add another:

Procedure

  1. Edit the RVD resource and click the Probes tab.
  2. Next, you can choose from one of the following actions:
    • To add a probe, click Add > TIBCO Rendezvous Distributed Queue.
    • To copy an existing probe, select the probe and click Copy.
    • To delete a probe, select the probe and click Remove.
  3. To configure an existing probe, select it and modify its settings in the configuration panel on the right.

    For probes other than the default one, you can enter a name in the Name field.

    The Update Period field is to be set to something suitable. DQ advisories are published when the queue members accept, reject, and complete tasks, so this period is used by the probe to calculate period values. It records all of the events internally and stores the period values in the database.

    RV transports with their associated group IDs are configured in the same way as the TIBCO Rendezvous probes RV transports, and the same RVD discovery process is available. (For more information, see TIBCO Rendezvous probe.)

    Note: The RVDQ probe subscribes to RVDQ advisories, so no messages are received when there are periods of inactivity for a queue. During these periods, the probe stores a zero value at the start of inactivity and at the beginning of new activity.
  4. To select or change the agent that hosts the selected probe, click Browse next to the Hosting agent field and select the agent you want from the project resource tree.
  5. To clear the current selection, click Clear.
