Chapter 1 Introduction : Overview

Overview
TIBCO Administrator includes two main components, the administration server and TIBCO Administrator GUI. The administration server manages resources in an administration domain. The TIBCO Administration GUI provides a web browser interface, allowing you to configure users and applications, deploy applications, and monitor processes and machines in an administration domain.
This manual explains the TIBCO Administrator GUI interface. See the TIBCO Administrator Server Configuration Guide for information about the administration server and administration domain.
The following modules are provided in the TIBCO Administrator GUI:
The next diagram shows the TIBCO Administrator GUI. Clicking the View icon in the top frame allows you to view the configuration panel only, or navigation and configuration panel.

User Management
This module allows you to create users and roles and assign them access rights to resources available in the administration domain.
An administration domain can be integrated with an LDAP directory server where users and groups are defined in an LDAP directory and imported into TIBCO Administrator. See Chapter 3, Integrating TIBCO Administrator with an LDAP Directory Server for details.
Resource Management
This module allows you to create application domains, get information about installed TIBCO software on each domain machine, view the status of each domain machine, and configure monitoring rules and events that can trigger other actions such as sending email or running a command.

Application Management
This module allows you to upload an application’s Enterprise Archive (EAR) file and optionally change options and global variables that were set for the application when it was configured. You can also define monitoring rules for each application. You then deploy the application and start (or stop) it.
The next diagram shows the TIBCO Administrator GUI with the application management module displaying its contained consoles. An application is selected and the configuration builder in the right panel displays the application, its service and service instance.
