Installed Software Dialog

Search

Allows you to display only the items that match a search criteria. You can use the * character as a wildcard.

Group By

Determines how the items in the display are grouped. Select from the following choices:

  • None — Do not use grouping.

  • Machine — List first all components on one machine, and then all components on the next machine in the administration domain.

  • Software — Organize the display by first showing all components (service instances and process engines) then showing the machine.

  • Enabled — Group by enabled and disabled components.

Export

Allows you to export inventory information for the selected item(s) to a .csv (comma-separated values) file, which can be opened with Microsoft Excel under Microsoft Windows and with other editors or spreadsheets on other platforms.

Enable, Disable

When a machine is part of an administration domain, all software from TIBCO becomes known to the corresponding administration server and visible in TIBCO Administrator updates occur automatically while TIBCO Hawk agent service is running on that machine. If the TIBCO Hawk agent is stopped, it checks for TIBCO software on that machine when it is restarted, and updates the information the administration server has about the software in the domain.

When you disable software on a machine, that software on that machine is no longer available to applications. As a result, the software is not available in the deployment configuration dialog. For example, if you installed TIBCO BusinessWorks on two machines, you can disable the software on one machine to force any deployment to go to the other machine.

Enabling software is usually done after you have disabled it and is not necessary otherwise.

Allows you to add custom software to this administration domain. After selecting the machine on which the software is to be added and clicking OK, the following fields become available:

  • Machine — Name of the machine to which the software is to be added. Click Change to add to a different machine.

  • Software Type — Must match the software type used to build an enterprise archive file.

  • Software Display Name — Named displayed in when monitoring the software.

  • Version — A four-component number indicating the software version, for example 5.1.2.9. This number is then matched against enterprise archive files loaded for this software. If the enterprise archive file specifies a later version, it cannot be deployed.

  • Executable (Full Path) — The full path to the executable for this custom software.

  • Software is an adapter — Select this box if your custom software is an adapter, clear the box otherwise.

  • Java Software — Select this box if your custom software is written in Java, clear the box otherwise.

  • Java Start Class — Provide the Java start class.

  • Java Start Method — Provide the Java start method.

  • Java Stop Method — Provide the Java stop method.
