Starting a TIBCO Host Instance

You first start the SystemHost TIBCO Host instance and can then start other TIBCO host instances. The process for starting a TIBCO Host instance is different on Windows and on Linux.

A TIBCO Host instance must be able to connect to the notification server on the configured port (by default, 7222). If this port is blocked by a firewall (the default on Windows systems), the instance will not start.

Procedure

  • Starting the SystemHost TIBCO Host Instance
    • Windows
      • If you created a Windows desktop shortcut, double-click the shortcut.
      • If SystemHost is registered as a Windows service:
        1. Open the Windows Services application.
        2. Click TIBCO ActiveMatrix Admin-enterpriseName-adminServerName.
        3. Click Start.
      • Run CONFIG_HOME\tibcohost\Admin-enterpriseName-adminServerName\host\bin\tibcohost.exe.
    • UNIX Run CONFIG_HOME/tibcohost/Admin-enterpriseName-adminServerName/host/bin/tibcohost.

      Certain caveats apply to specific UNIX versions:

      AIX

      tibcohost may fail to start with the error: 
      Failed to exec process : Arg list too long : ./tibcohost
      To resolve, log on as root and run chdev -l sys0 -a ncargs=40.

      Linux

      • Disable SELinux with the command sudo echo 0 > /selinux/enforce before running tibcohost.
    The tibcohost process is started and the node processes managed by SystemHost, including tibamx_SystemNode, are started.
  • Starting a TIBCO Host Instance
    • Windows
      • If you created a Windows desktop shortcut, double-click the shortcut.
      • If the instance is registered as a Windows service:
        1. Open the Windows Services application.
        2. Click TIBCO ActiveMatrix hostName.
        3. Click Start.
      • Run CONFIG_HOME\tibcohost\instanceName\host\bin\tibcohost.exe.
    • UNIX Run CONFIG_HOME/tibcohost/instanceName/host/bin/tibcohost.
    The tibcohost process is started and the node processes managed by the TIBCO Host instance are started.
