Starting the Administration Server

Two Microsoft Windows Services must be running for the server to be available. After creating an administration domain, the services are installed and set to start automatically. To start the services the first time, navigate to the Services dialog, find the TIBCO administration server for your domain and click the Start button. Repeat for the TIBCO Hawk Agent service.

Note: If the TIBCO Hawk Agent is started as a service, mapped drives on the machine are not recognized by deployed services. The workaround is to start the TIBCO Hawk Agent from the command line.

Alternatively, to start on the command line:

Procedure 

1. Start the administration server by typing the following into a command-line prompt:
   % cd <install-path>\tibco\administrator\domain\<domain-name>\bin
   % tibcoadmin_<domain-name>.exe
2. 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>.exe

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.
