Engineering Build Commands

The Host Manager provides commands to simplify the process of applying and reverting an Engineering Build in Enterprises with a large number of TIBCOHost Instances.

An Engineering Build, or "EB", is an interim build consisting of one or more defect fixes, intended to be used on a product release, which has been made available (GA) to all customers. The purpose of an Engineering Build could be:

  1. to diagnose or identify the source of the problem in a particular release; or
  2. to confirm whether a certain solution for the customer's problem works as expected, without, or prior to, providing the solution as part of a general release.

Engineering Builds are usually provided to customers to be used in a test environment, and typically, depending on the issue in question, may have to be applied individually to many or all the nodes in the Enterprise.
