Chapter 1 Introduction : Starting TIBCO Administrator on UNIX

Starting TIBCO Administrator on UNIX

To start TIBCO Administrator, you first start the administration server.

Starting the Administration Server

1.

First start the server by typing the following into a command-line prompt:

   % cd <install-path>/tibco/administrator/domain/<domain-name>/bin

   % tibcoadmin_<domain-name>

2.

Then start the TIBCO Hawk Agent, which performs the TIBCO Administrator monitoring functions, by typing:

   % cd <install-path>/tibco/tra/domain/<domain_name>

   % hawkagent_<domain-name>

The following message appears when starting the administration server from the command line:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.commons.digester.Digester).

The log4j logging class is included in the Tomcat web server that is bundled with TIBCO Administrator. TIBCO Administrator provides a logging mechanism and does not use the logging facility provided by log4j. The message can be ignored.

Starting the TIBCO Administrator GUI

1.

Open your web browser and connect to the following URL:

  http://<host-name>:<port>/administrator/servlet/tibco_administrator

−

<host-name> is the name of the machine on which the administration server has been installed. If this is the same machine you are currently on, you can use localhost as the machine name.

−

<port> is 8080 by default. If you have used the TIBCO Domain Utility to assign a different port, use that port number instead. If you created multiple domains on one machine, the port is incremented by 10 for each domain. For example, the second domain will use 8090.

You can enter http://<host-name>:8080 to get a list of domains, the ports they are using, and the TIBCO software available on that port, and then pick a domain from this list to go to the login screen.

2.

Log in as the domain administrator user. This user was specified using the Domain Utility. That user can then assign other users privileges to log in.
