TIBCO Administration Domain

After you install TIBCO Administrator, the installer starts TIBCO Domain Utility to create the initial administration domain. An administration domain is a collection of users, machines, and services. Each domain is managed by an administration server, which is assisted by a TIBCO Hawk agent running on each machine in the domain. You can create multiple administration domains on the same machine and each domain must have a unique administration server associated with it.

For example, the next diagram shows an administration domain with three machines. Each machine has a TIBCO Runtime Agent installed and a TIBCO Hawk agent running. One machine has an adapter installed, another TIBCO BusinessWorks and the other machine has the administration server installed. The browser-based TIBCO Administrator GUI can be run from any machine, including machines not in the domain.
