Configuration

The configuration steps vary based on your needs.

  1. If you are using external databases, configure the third party driver by following the steps in Configure Third-Party Driver.
  2. Before this step, make sure that the EMS server is up and running. There are two ways of creating the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator Server:
    1. If you want to select the default settings, follow the steps in Create Express Developer Environment.
    2. Before this step, ensure that you have configured the external database and configured the third-party driver. To customize the port, environment, and database settings, follow the steps in Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator Server.
  3. If you have ActiveMatrix Administrator on one machine and the TIBCO Host on another machine, and they share the same EMS server, follow the steps in Create TIBCO Host Instance.
  4. For high availability, it is a best practice to replicate ActiveMatrix Administrator. See Replicate TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator Server.
