Enabling a Process or Service to Run on Other Machines

You can assign a process to run on any machine that is part of your administration domain. For information about adding a machine to a domain, see TIBCO Runtime Agent™ Domain Utility User’s Guide .

Tip: Adding a process to additional machines is useful for fault tolerance. As a rule, it therefore does not make sense to run the same process on the same machine twice.

A service can be enabled or disabled. Only enabled services are deployed. When you disable a service, it is no longer deployed the next time you deploy the application, while all other services in the application are deployed as before. This can be useful, for example when you wish to deploy an application that includes a service for which you don't have the required software.

Only machines that have the software required by the process or service are visible when selecting the machine.

To enable a process to run on other machines, perform the following procedure:

Procedure 

1. In TIBCO Administrator, click Application Management.
2. Select an application and expand it.

3. In the Configuration Builder pane, click a service or process name. A service is named with a .arr suffix. A process is named with a .par suffix.
4. In the General pane enable or disable the process or service by selecting or clearing the Enable Service check box.
5. In the Target Machines pane, click Add to Additional Machines to add a selected process or service to another machine.
6. A dialog appears, similar to the following, displaying all machines in the domain on which the software required by the process or service is available. Select a machine, and then click OK.

7. Click Save.
