Getting Started with RabbitMQ

What is RabbitMQ?

RabbitMQ is a messaging broker - an intermediary for messaging. It gives your applications a common platform to send and receive messages, and your messages a safe place to live until received.

Why do we need a message broker?


Messaging enables software applications to connect and scale. Applications can connect to each other, as components of a larger application, or to user devices and data. Messaging is asynchronous, decoupling applications by separating sending and receiving data.

Why RabbitMQ?

  1. Robust messaging for applications
  2. Easy to use
  3. Runs on all major operating systems
  4. Supports a huge number of developer platforms
  5. Open source and commercially supported


Steps for Setting up RabbitMQ

Step 1: Install Erlang
Step 2: Install RabbitMQ
Step 3: Install the RabbitMQ Management Plugin
Go to sbin folder %PROGRAMFILES%\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server_3.0.2\sbin and execute the below command:
rabbitmq-plugins.bat enable rabbitmq_management
Step 4: Access the rabbitMQ mgmt page from http://localhost:15672/ after starting it normally or in service mode. The default user created is "guest" with password set as "guest". We can log in using this credential and create another user is needed. Import the broker definition files and get started.

jQgrid reload with new data

To reload a jQGrid with fresh data you need to set the data parameter on the grid and invoke reload on it. jQuery("#promotionsGrid").setGridParam({ 'data': newData}).trigger("reloadGrid"); Here newData is a JavaScript array with which I need to re-load the grid. The important thing here is that I had to place this statement just before the grid initialization code even though the reload was expected on change event of a text box. Without that there was simply no effect on my grid!

Rich Client based UI technologies- A Comparison of Thick Client UI tools

Rich Client v/s Thin Client Software developers face many difficult decisions when building new applications, not the least of which is graphical user interface. There are various graphical user interface technologies used, but broadly they can be classified as Rich Client User interfaces and the thin client or web based user interfaces. To understand them better let us look at the history of rich and thin clients. While the Rich client GUI applications would support high quality end-user experience with features such a drag-and-drop, perspectives, customization, high speed local processing; it has had a traditional disadvantage of high deployment and upgrade costs. It was becoming highly difficult and costly to deploy and upgrade these applications. Then came the thin clients or the Web based applications. Thin clients solved many of the deployment and upgrade problems, but that was not without a cost, the cost was in terms of functionality and capability. Thin clients, based on

OSS and BSS Systems

Image
OSS (Operational Support Systems) Software (occasionally hardware) applications that support back-office activities which operate a telco’s network, provision and maintain customer services. OSS is traditionally used by network planners, operations, architects, support, and engineering teams in the service provider. Increasingly product managers and senior staff under the CTO or COO may also use or rely on OSS to some extent. BSS (Business Support Systems) Software applications that support customer-facing activities. Billing, order management, customer relationship management, call centre automation, are all BSS applications. BSS may also encompass the customer-facing veneer of OSS application such as trouble-ticketing and service assurance – these are back-office activities but initiated directly by contact with the customer. OSS/BSS Structure Communication between OSS and BSS Apart from service assurance activities being cross-OSS-BSS processes, there are as m
