Communications Manager package

This section provides an overview of all components that are available in the Communications Manager package.

By default, the Tungsten Communications Manager installation package deploys a single instance of the Communications Manager software consisting of Communications Manager Core, Communications Manager Repository, Communication Manager Designer, Communications Manager ComposerUI for HTML5, and the Contract Manager. The installation creates one instance ready for use, but you can append additional Communications Manager instances if required. The Contract Manager is the interface to Tungsten Communications Manager for all communications: run time, design time, and system management. Currently, the Contract Manager has two roles:

  • Expose services (SOAP)
  • Proxy HTTP(S) traffic

The Contract Manager has configuration stored in its own internal database in which all the interface definitions are stored. It communicates with Communications Manager Core directly over TCP/IP.
