Reusing a TIBCO Configuration Tool Configuration

After you have saved a configuration file, you can run an Ant script to reuse the configuration.

Prerequisites

Install and configure Ant on the target machine.
You can run TIBCO Configuration Tool and reuse the configuration on a different machine and operating system, if you edit the properties files to account for the following differences between the originating machine and the target machine.
  • Machine name
  • ActiveMatrix installation location
  • ActiveMatrix runtime configuration data location
  • ActiveMatrix enterprise name
  • Operating system
Because all the property files specify the machine name, you must always replace the source machine name with the target machine name.
Note: A script that TIBCO Configuration Tool generates only works for the same minor version, even if you install other versions later. For example, if you generate a script in 3.2.x, that script uses the 3.2.x features and cannot use 3.3.x features even if 3.3.x is installed. See Modifying Scripts from Earlier Releases.

Procedure

  1. Make the required changes in the property files.
  2. Open a command line window in the folder that has the properties file for the configuration you want to reuse. For example, open CONFIG_HOME/tct/admin/<timestamp>/scripts.
  3. Run ant [-logfile logfilename] –f build.xml. This ANT command executes the default target in the build.xml file.
