Gems is a graphical user interface utility for TIBCO® Enterprise Message Service (EMS). It can be used by JMS developers as a general purpose testing tool and by administrative support staff as a management and monitoring tool.
Gems provides the following main features:
Gems is written in Java and compiled using jdk1.6. Thus a Java run-time environment is needed and this should be at least version 1.6 or greater. To use the example executable rungems.cmd the Java JRE bin directory must be in the system path.
Gems supports TIBCO EMS version 5.0 or later. In order to run Gems the TIBCO EMS client jar files must be installed and included on the CLASSPATH.
Note: To use Gems with TIBCO EMS version 8.0 client or later requires JRE 1.7
To use the charting features the JFreeChart libraries jcommon-1.0.23.jar and jfreechart-1.0.19.jar must be downloaded from http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart
The Gems installation is distributed as a standard ZIP file.
Installation of Gems is a simple a matter of unzipping Gems<version>.zip
file to a local directory. This
ZIP file includes all classes required to run Gems, except for the EMS client
and JFreeChart JAR files.
Copy JFreeChart libraries jcommon-1.0.23.jar and jfreechart-1.0.19.jar to the Gems lib folder.
An example executable rungems.cmd is provided for running Gems. If necessary edit the CMD file to set the correct path to the EMS installation directory.
