Architecture
TIBCO Administrator consists of the TIBCO Administration Server and the TIBCO AdministratorGUI. The TIBCO Administration Server includes an application server component for HTTP communications and a repository server component for data store management. All three server components run as a single process.
The TIBCO Administration Server interacts with each machine in the TIBCO administration domain by way of the TRA running on that machine.
-
The TIBCO Administration Server receives information about CPU and memory usage, alerts, and the process instances and components running on each machine and makes them available via the TIBCO Administrator GUI.
-
The TIBCO Administrator GUI allows users to start and shut down components. Start and shutdown commands are sent from the TIBCO Administration Server to the appropriate TRA, which in turn starts or stops the process.
The following illustration shows the TIBCO administration domain with 3 machines in the domain.
-
The first machine runs the TIBCO Administration Server, which contains an embedded Repository Server for managing data stores. Machines outside the TIBCO administration domain can view the TIBCO Administrator GUI using a web browser. Each user sees only the components for which s/he is authorized.
-
The second machine runs two adapters. The adapters are started via the TIBCO Administrator GUI. The information entered in the GUI is sent by the TIBCO Administration Server to the TRA on the machine running the adapter. The TRA starts and stops the adapter and also sends information about component and machine status to the TIBCO Administration Server for access via the GUI.
-
The third machine runs a process engine. Just like the adapters, the process engine is managed by the TIBCO Administration Server via the TRA.
