Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the questions:
Can I bring up TIBCO Designer from a UNIX command-line?
No. TIBCO Designer is a GUI based tool and a UNIX GUI environment is mandatory to run it. It cannot be brought up from a terminal.
When starting the adapter, what if the repository is not found?
Start the TIBCO Repository server before starting the adapter. If you are starting a remote repository ensure that TIBCO Repository is installed on the remote location. Ensure that a properly configured .dat file is available in the path specified (local or remote). Ensure that the RepoUrl has been specified accurately in the adapter’s TRA file.
Why does the adapter startup fail?
Either the repository file (the DAT file) is not placed in the TIBCO_HOME\repository\remoterepos directory, or it is not properly configured. Ensure that the RepoUrl syntax has been specified accurately in the adapter’s TRA file. Ensure that the path specified for the TRA file is correct.
Why does the adapter startup fail, even after specifying the appropriate DAT file?
You must start the repository server before you start the adapter. If it is a remote repository, ensure that the RepoUrl syntax has been specified accurately in the adapter’s TRA file. Ensure that the path specified for the TRA file is correct.
Why is the adapter unable to discover any domains on the network even though the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks administration server is up and running?
Re-start it and re-discover it.
When saving an adapter configuration to the project, if an error occurs, where is it logged?
TIBCO Designer error messages are logged to the files stderr.log and designer.log under the TIBCO_HOME\Designer\version_num\logs directory.
Why does the adapter fail to respond to a request?
The subject name may be inconsistent. The subject name to which the adapter listens may be different from that of the subject name of the client.
Why does the adapter fail to respond to a request after successfully receiving it?
The adapter may fail to respond due to various reasons like errors resulting from class mismatch, records not being available in the target application or, connectivity problems with the target application.
When running the adapter, why does the following error occur?
Connection to TIB CR failed
You have referred an incorrect .dat file in your command line.
Can the adapter handle messages that include special non-English charachters such as special German or Chinese?
The adapter generally cannot handle requests that include special characters such as German. However, the current version of the audiotapes supports these special characters. When using these special characters, the user needs to correctly configure the Tuxedo Oracle connection encoding.
Please use “UTF8” as encoding in the Tuxedo user oracle connection, such as “AMERICA_AMERICAN.UTF8”.
During reconnection, why does the adapter sometimes display a connection timeout error and shut down?
There is a limitation in the Kenan/BP client libraries where after a Tuxedo service reboot, used connections can not be reused anymore, so the number of valid connections in the pool decrease. As a result, the adapter cannot refresh a connection after the server goes down and is brought back up.
The adapter shutting down can be delayed by increasing the number of connections in the pools.properties file and by using fewer threads (proportionate to the connection pool size). For example, if the number of threads configured in the adapter is 4 and the connection pool size is 40, the adapter can perform 10 reconnection attempts successfully. The connection pool size can be set using the PoolableATMI parameter in the pools.properties configuration file. Refer to the Kenan/BP System Administration Guide for details.
When invoking the stopApplicationInstance method using TIBCO Hawk, why does the adapter not return control to the command line, in spite of a "Method Invocation Succeeded" message appearing?
If the com.csgsystems.aruba.connection.PoolableATMI.cleanup property in the pools.properties file is set to true, there will be a separate thread to do cleanup for the Kenan connection pool. If this thread is not closed while shutting down adapter, then when invoking the stopApplicationInstance method using TIBCO Hawk, the adapter does not return control to the command line. If the com.csgsystems.aruba.connection.PoolableATMI.cleanup property is set to false, the adapter can stop and return control to the command line successfully.
