Gems v3.2
Gems is a graphical user interface utility for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (EMS). It can be used by JMS developers as a general purpose test debugging tool and by administrative support staff as a management and monitorig tool.
Gems provides the following main features:
- Server Monitoring. Server state and main statistics are automtically updated, warning and error limits may be configured. Server generated events are also captured.
- Server Management. Including, general server configuration, JMS destinations, JNDI factories, users/groups, permissions, bridges, routes etc.
- JMS support. Messages may be sent/received, queues may be browsed and message contents inspected. Selectors and filters may be specified.
- JMS Message Monitoring. Messages may be monitored (snooped) as they pass trough the server. Request and reply messages can be correlated to provide service response times.
- JMS Message Management. Eg; purging messages, copy messages from a queue to another queue on a different server.
- Charting. Server statistics may be charted in real time, data may be saved to CSV files for export to other tools such as Excel.
- Logging. Server statistics may be logged automatically when warning or error limits are breached.
- Security. SSL connectivity, view only mode.
- Customisable display and look and feel.
- Support for Managing and Monitoring TIBCO SubStation

Guys, do you know how to change the default non-destructive read in GEMS for topics? I mean once GEMS receives the message from the JMS server, we would like it to acknowledge the message so that it doesn't sit and so that messages don't accumulate on the server causing it to crash. Yup, that's what happens after a while...the datastore gets massive causing the server to crash.
rajita says:
The zip listed here is corrupt. Could you please look into this?
Arjen Visser says:
Hi great piece of tooling! I like the quick overview on server status, queue status etc.
Now im facing a challenge, because i would like to login to a EMS server which has ACL's defined per queue, and therefore i need to use an external username to login, although this username is different then the user for administrating EMS itself.
With the tool Hermes i already got this working, but i like GEMS so much better.
Is it possible in GEMS to define both usernames + passwords for logging in?

Hi,
I am trying to run this on Ubuntu.
I don't have EMS on this Ubuntu but I have all the JARs that are required in .sh file.
Only JARs I don't have are jcert.jar & jnet.jar.
I started the UI but I am not able to connect to remote EMS.
Please help.

Howard Baker says:
Great tool. I wish to browse a queue which has Bytes Messages of 4Mb each. I configured the MaxDisplayBytes in gems.props to 4194304 but when I now click on the message, the app seems to hang. Is there a maximum limit? Any idea why it hangs?

Simon Xuan says:
This is a powerful tool Richard developed. We used it in our testing, staging and production environment. With Richard's help, we were able to lockdown it in production environment, but still allow view-only and topic access from developers. Thumb up, although Tibco doesn't officially support it.
Sujith Vasudevan says:
Nice tool. Thanks !!
Bruce Graham says:
This is a great tool, Richard. Thank you very much for providing it.
The one enhancement that would help us a lot would be the ability to work with queues and topics using either their name or their JNDI name. Maybe it could be an option in the 'gems.props' file, or possibly even the ability to toggle back and forth between the two at runtime.
If possible I would be glad to contribute to the development effort to add this functionality.
Thanks again.
Pruthvi says:
That is beautiful application. I must say very thankful for that..and I'm saying that ....thank you very much......
Simon Xuan says:
We have been using GEMS 3.x in production and staging environment effectively for over years. The way it integrates security and permission management render it useful for production monitoring. Excellent tool Rich has been providing.
Phani Kiran says:
Nice tool.
We have been using version 2.4b of Gems and it's been pretty useful for us. We would like to upgrade to this version but when I tried to start the application I got the following error:
