Enterprise Messaging Server Requirements

A TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server acts as a notification server for the ActiveMatrix Administrator servers and TIBCO Host instances within an enterprise. The enterprise is defined by the enterprise name and the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server that you specify when you run one of the configuration wizards. Ensure that the following requirements and prerequisites are satisfied:

• Each enterprise must use a different TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server.
• The TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server must be running before you run the Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator Server and Create TIBCO Host Instance wizards or create these components in the console mode or silent mode.
• If you manually start the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server, make sure you use the same configuration files as the Windows service. Use the following command:

  TIBCO_HOME/ems/version number/bin/tibemsd -config EMS_CONFIG_HOME/tibco/cfgmgmt/ems/data/tibemsd.conf

  where EMS_CONFIG_HOME is the configuration folder for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service.
• The clocks of machines within the same enterprise must be synchronized to within to 30 minutes. You can run an NTP synchronization daemon on each machine to achieve synchronization.
• If you do not have administrator privileges for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service, you can request privileges or configure the service for a non-admin user from the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server console. See Configuring TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Servers for Non-Admin Users.
• The connection factory details are specified in the factories.conf file of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service.
• Permissions for creating dynamic queues have been set in the queues.conf file of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service.
• TIBCO ActiveMatrix platform supports TIBCO Enterprise Message Service configured with a JSON configuration file and .conf file. Refer to the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ User’s Guide for more details.
