Phase 5: Deployment Configuration and Deployment The TIBCO administration domain supports a simple installation and deployment paradigm: • During installation, you install all components into the same administration domain. After you have installed the TIBCO Administration Server, any machine on which you install a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks core component or an adapter can be added to the administration domain. The component or adapter is then visible and accessible at design time by way of the TIBCO Designer GUI and at runtime by way of the TIBCO Administrator GUI. • You create an Enterprise Archive file (EAR file) in TIBCO Designer that contains the adapter configurations and process definitions you wish to deploy. • The EAR file is used by TIBCO Administrator within a deployment configuration. A deployment configuration allows you to assign processes and adapter services to different process engines and adapters installed on the machines in the administration domain. • When deployment configuration is complete, you deploy the project. As part of that process, startup scripts and other information about the different components are sent to the machines to which the components were assigned. The project data store (repository) and the TIBCO Administration Server are updated with the new deployed components. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Administration discusses deployment in more detail.
