TIBCO Administration Domain

A TIBCO administration domain is a set of hardware and software resources. TIBCO Administration Domain gives an overview of a domain’s elements.

Understanding the domain before installing the software is important because the domain is set up during installation. Typically, the set-up depends on the phase of the project:

  • During early stages, each developer typically installs the complete ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks package, including the TIBCO Administration server, on one machine and develops and tests the project there.

  • Later, for final testing and production, the development team uses one TIBCO Administration Server which manages different components (engines and adapters) running on different machines.

The advantage of TIBCO administration domain is that the components of your integration project automatically know about each other. They can be monitored as a group. Security, that is, access to both processes and data stores, is shared across the TIBCO administration domain.

The TIBCO administration domain is managed by a TIBCO Administration Server, which is assisted by a TRA running on each machine in the domain.
