StarTeamMPX Programmer's Guide

StarTeamMPX is a framework for publish/subscribe messaging. The StarTeamMPX Server uses an advanced caching and communication technology that both improves the performance of StarTeam clients and extends the scalability of the StarTeam Server.

StarTeamMPX benefits StarTeam SDK applications in two important ways:

• Instant Refresh. An MPX-enabled SDK application can refresh changes from the server with very little overhead. For applications that perform frequent refresh operations, the resulting performance benefits are significant.

• Event-Handling. An MPX-enabled SDK application can subscribe to specific server events (for example an Item is added, modified or deleted), and provide event-handlers that are invoked when those events occur.

The remainder of this document provides an overview of the programming interfaces that allow StarTeam SDK applications to integrate MPX functionality. It consists of the following chapters:

• Enabling MPX
• Instant Refresh
• Event Handling

For detailed documentation on specific programming interfaces, consult the StarTeam SDK API documentation.

For further information on StarTeamMPX, please consult the StarTeamMPX Server Administrator's Guide.
