Chapter 7 Creating and Deploying Applications : Creating an Application

Creating an Application
To create an application in TIBCO Administrator, you must import an enterprise archive file, which is created in TIBCO Designer. An archive file typically contains a project that includes one or more configured adapter services, TIBCO BusinessWorks processes, or both.
After creating the application, you specify deployment configuration information, such as which machines should run which services and processes in the application. You then deploy and start the services and processes from TIBCO Administrator.
You can use the same enterprise archive file to create multiple applications and configure and deploy each application separately with different deployment options. You can also modify a deployed application and redeploy, and then revert to an earlier deployment if the changes you made do not have the desired result.
To Create an Application
1.
Select either Application Management, a previously created folder or All Applications.
2.
Click New Application.
3.
Click Browse and select an enterprise archive file, and then click OK. For example, the next diagram shows a new application, ready for deployment.

4.
Click Save.
Application Creation Choices
You have the following choices when creating an application:
If Quick Configure is selected, the services are bound to the targets selected in the target field.
If Quick Configure is selected, Deploy on Save can be selected. When the Save button is clicked, the application is created and immediately deployed to the target machines specified in the Services pane, Target column. All variables, logging and other configuration values will use defaults defined in the archive file. The next screen will display the deployment status.
If Deploy on Save is not selected, the application must be explicitly deployed using the application’s Configuration Console that displays upon save. This allows you to change settings, such as global variable settings before deploying.
Application Types
Some TIBCO applications provide EAR files that are not created using TIBCO Designer. These files are known as application types and are installed when the application is installed. If your application provides these EAR files, a dialog similar to the following appears when creating an application. Pick the application type to load and click OK.
Figure 35 Uploading EAR File
After you load an application type, it displays as an application under the Application Management module.
