The previous post was on creating a minimal TIBCO RV listener. So naturally it’s time to look at creating a minimal TIBCO RV “sender”. In other words, creating a message and sending it.<\/p>\n

Note: The initial code was take from the C# TIB RV samples, but I wanted to distil these to a quick and simple step by step guide.<\/em><\/p>\n

For this sample we\u2019ll create a Console application in C# and we\u2019ll assume you are getting the server, network etc. values from some key\/value mechanism, whether this is a command line parser or config is down to your specific implementation.<\/p>\n

So create a Windows Console project then follow the steps below (the full code will be listed at the end of this rambling)<\/p>\n

In case you’ve come to this post without first reading the post on creating a minimal listener, I will repeat a fair amount of code\/steps from that post here. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Add references to TIBCO.Rendezvous and ensure that TIBCO.Rendezvous.netmodule resides in the same folder as TIBCO.Rendezvous (just in case you’re not referencing the TIB RV installation itself<\/li>\n
  2. For this simple example we’ll hard code a few variables\n
    \r\nstring server = arguments[\"server\"];\r\nstring network = arguments[\"network\"];\r\nstring daemon = arguments[\"daemon\"];\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \nNext we need to open the Rendezvous environment using<\/p>\n
    \r\nTIBCO.Rendezvous.Environment.Open();\r\n<\/pre>\n
    The above code should be enclosed in a try..catch block, either enclosing all of the following code or if you want the granularity, then each line in essence. For now we’ll just assume it’s all in a try..catch block\n<\/li>\n
  4. \nWe now need to create the transport <\/p>\n
    \r\nTransport transport = new NetTransport(service, network, daemon);\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  5. \nNow it’s time to create the message. The subject is set to “myapp.mysubject” and we add some data to a new field we’ve created named “Data”<\/p>\n
    \r\nMessage message = new Message { SendSubject = \"myapp.mysubject\" };\r\nmessage.AddField(\"Data\", \"Some Data\");\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  6. \nTo send the message is simply a case of <\/p>\n
    \r\ntransport.Send(message);\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  7. \nFinally when we’ve finished with RV we need to close the environment with<\/p>\n
    \r\nTIBCO.Rendezvous.Environment.Close();\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Before we look at the full code, here’s what the listener shows us if we listen to “myapp.>”<\/p>\n
    2013-11-21 15:58:49 (2013-11-21 15:58:49.281000000Z): subject=myapp.mysubject, message={Data=”Some Data”}<\/p>\n
    And as promised, the full code is<\/p>\n
    \r\npublic void Process(CommandLineArguments arguments)\r\n{\r\n   string service = arguments[\"server\"];\r\n   string network = arguments[\"network\"];\r\n   string daemon = arguments[\"daemon\"];\r\n\r\n   try\r\n   {\r\n      TIBCO.Rendezvous.Environment.Open();\r\n\r\n      Transport transport = new NetTransport(service, network, daemon);\r\n\r\n      Message message = new Message { SendSubject = \"myapp.mysubject\" };\r\n      message.AddField(\"Data\", \"Some Data\");\r\n      transport.Send(message);\r\n   }\r\n   catch (Exception e)\r\n   {\r\n      Console.WriteLine(e.Message + \"\\n\\n\" + e.StackTrace);\r\n   }\r\n   finally\r\n   {\r\n      TIBCO.Rendezvous.Environment.Close();\r\n   }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
