TIBCO Configuration Tool: Configuration Modes

You can configure ActiveMatrix BPM runtime objects on a machine using one of three configuration modes.

These are:

  • GUI mode - presents a number of different wizards. Each wizard allows you to enter the necessary configuration data, then choose and execute the relevant configuration actions. You can also save the configuration data for subsequent editing and use in silent mode. See Running TIBCO Configuration Tool in GUI Mode.
  • Console mode - presents a number of different menus and pages that you can use from the command line. (These menus and pages correspond to the wizards and screens provided in GUI mode.) Each menu allows you to enter the necessary configuration data, then choose and execute the relevant configuration actions. You can also save the configuration data for subsequent editing and use in silent mode. See Running TIBCO Configuration Tool in Console Mode.
  • Silent mode - allows you to run a particular TIBCO Configuration Tool wizard without any user interaction, using configuration data saved (and subsequently edited as required) from an earlier GUI or console mode session. See Running TIBCO Configuration Tool in Silent Mode.
Note: For ease of explanation, the instructions for specific installation or upgrade scenarios (see I - INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE SCENARIOS) assume the use of GUI mode. You can instead use console mode or (where appropriate) silent mode.
