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 TEA server.

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

Prerequisites

Before registering an adapter agent, you must:
  • start the TIBCO 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 TEA 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

  1. On a command line, navigate to the TIBCO_HOME\afx\version_number\bin directory and enter adapteradmin to start the Adapter Administration console.
  2. 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 one is displayed: 
    adapter[admin]> registerteaagent  http://{host-name}:8777
Connected to Adapter Agent
TIBCO-AFX-ADMIN-CLI-300010: Registered TEA Agent [afx.host-name] with TEA 
Server successfully.

What to do next

Open a web browser and enter the administration URL, for example, http://{host-name}:8777, to open the Admin UI. Provide your user name and password to log on to Admin UI. You can find the registered adapter agent on the Agent Management page:
