Starting TIBCO Administrator

This chapter explains how to start and stop the administration server and the TIBCO Administrator GUI.

When you start the master instance of an instance group it automatically starts TIBCO Administrator and the TIBCO Hawk Agent. No action is necessary from the user.

Starting the TIBCO Administrator GUI

To access to the TIBCO Administrator GUI, click the Administrator button in Silver Center as shown next.

This will launch your browser with the following URL:

https://Public-IP-Address/administrator/servlet/tibco_administrator

Your default browser must be set to one of the following:

•

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher

•

Mozilla Suite 1.7.1 or higher

•

Mozilla Firefox 1.x or higher

Note: Admin is accessible only when the master instance status is Admin (ready).

Login in administrator with the user password that has been specified during the Instance group creation (see attached screen).

For the first login, you must use the user specified as the domain administrator user with Domain Utility. That user can then assign other users privileges to log in.

Stopping the Administration Server

When you stop the master instance, it will stop TIBCO Administrator

You can also use the appropriate kill command for your system to stop the administrator server.

For a graceful shutdown:

1.

On the command line, change to TIBCO_HOME/administrator/domain/domain/bin.

2.

Execute: tibcoadmin_domain -stop.

Note that the above command syntax initiates an asynchronous shutdown sequence.

Stopping the Administration Server Remotely

You define two parameters when creating an administration domain, Shutdown Port and Shutdown String. You can use these two parameters to shut down the administration server remotely.

1.

In a command prompt, execute the following command, where hostname is the name of the administration server host and port is the shutdown port:

telnet hostname port

2.

Type the shutdown string and press Enter.

You may not observe anything on the command prompt except that the operation exits. However, you can verify on the administration server host that the administration server is indeed shut down.
