Chapter 1 Installation Overview : Introduction

Introduction
TIBCO Administrator is dependent on TIBCO Runtime Agent™. Before installing Administrator, you must first install TIBCO Runtime Agent. After TIBCO Administrator is installed, the installer utility prompts you to launch TIBCO Domain Utility to create the initial administration domain. The initial administration domain includes an administration server, a TIBCO Hawk agent and a domain repository.
When creating an administration domain you can specify the transport to use for domain communication, either TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO Enterprise Message Service. If you use Rendezvous, you can specify whether domain data is stored in a file or database. The default is a file based repository. If you select the database option, you are prompted later to provide database driver information and a database account that has write permissions to the database. If you specify TIBCO Enterprise Message Service as the transport, you must use a database for domain storage.
You can integrate an administration domain with an LDAP directory server. This allows you to use users and groups defined in the LDAP directory in TIBCO Administrator. If you want your initial administration domain to be integrated with an LDAP directory server, you should review the LDAP options explained in TIBCO Administrator User’s Guide.
TIBCO Administrator supports a variety of administration domain options.
An administration domain can have many options defined. For example, for a Rendezvous based domain, you can define a secondary administration server and configure a domain to span across networks. See TIBCO Administrator Server Configuration Guide for information. These options can be set after the initial domain is created. See TIBCO Runtime Agent Domain Utility User’s Guide for details.
For certain advanced configuration tasks, you can edit the tibcoadmin_domain.tra properties file that is created for your administration server. You can use it, for example, to inform the server that the configuration file is using non-ASCII characters. See TIBCO Administrator Server Configuration Guide for details.
