Registering an Adapter Agent with a TEA Server

To view and monitor entities in the Admin UI, you must register an adapter agent with a TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter Framework is exposed to the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server through an adapter agent. After registering the adapter agent, you can start and stop adapter applications in the Admin UI.

Before registering an adapter agent, you must:

start the hawk agent:
On a command line, navigate to the TIBCO_HOME\afx\version_number\bin directory and enter tibhawkagent.
start the adapter agent that you want to register:
On a command line, navigate to the TIBCO_HOME\afx\version_number\bin directory and enter adapteragent.
start the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server that you want to register the adapter agent with:
On a command line, navigate to the TIBCO_HOME\tea\version_number\bin\ directory and enter tea.

Procedure

On a command line, navigate to the TIBCO_HOME\afx\version_number\bin directory and enter adapteradmin to start the Adapter Administration console.
Enter the following command to register the adapter agent:
registerteaagent adminURL
where:

adminURL

URL of the Admin UI that is returned when starting the TEA server.
A message similar to the following is displayed:
```
adapter[admin]> registerteaagent  http://{host-name}:8777
