When I was introduced to TIBCO Rendezvous (also spelled « Tibco Rendez-Vous » or,
shorterly, « TiboRV »), I faced a embarrassing issue: the lack of documentation and tutorials on
the web.
The purpose of this -short- tutorial is to guide you until you can send and read a « HelloWorld »
message passing through Tibco RendezVous
Installation
- Set the variable JAVA_HOME
Eg, in my case:
set JAVA_HOME=C:exejavajdk150_10
- Get the file to be installed:
TIB_rv_8.1.2_win_x86_vc8.zip
- Unzip the content in your local drive
- Launch the installer (.exe)
- select Custom installation
- choose the installation folder, eg: C:exetibco
- keep default options for other requests
- Set the variable TIBRV_HOME
Eg, in my case:
set TIBRV_HOME=C:exetibcotibrv8.1
Main Runnables
RVD: Daemon
- Launching the daemon on local host on port 8181 (default port: 7580):
rvd -http 8181
You should see the following trace:

Here is what appears in the « listening » frame:
2010-01-19 17:01:32 (2010-01-19 16:01:32.990000000Z): subject=mySubject,
message={DATA= "HelloWorld"}
Notice you can have many instances listening to the same messages.
Other runnables
Launch the daemon manager
- Launch:
cd %TIBRV_HOME%/RVDM
./RVDM.bat -http 8282 .
- You should see following messages, that you can ignore:
2010-01-19 13:01:48 rvdm:
RVDM has activated.
