ActiveMatrix BPM: Package / unpack AMX Host for moving

Caution: You can use this wizard for moving only an ActiveMatrix host that meets the following requirements:
  • The host does not contain an ActiveMatrix Administrator node.
  • All nodes that are managed by the host must be running on ActiveMatrix version 3.3 hotfix 3 or later.
Field Description
Package Host to be moved Prepare an ActiveMatrix host on this machine for moving to another machine. This involves creating a movedhost.properties file in the corresponding TIBCO Host instance directory and, optionally, creating a .zip file of the directory.

The option is selected if the wizard finds any ActiveMatrix BPM hosts on this machine.

Select AMX Host to move fields (enabled only if Package Host to be moved is selected)
TIBCO Host Instance The TIBCO Host instance directory on this machine that you want to move. The list includes all the TIBCO Host instance directories in the CONFIG_HOME\tibcohost directory.
Use zip to package host for move Whether to create a .zip file of the TIBCO Host instance directory. You may want to clear this check box if you have problems with .zip files on your platform. In this case, you must move the directory yourself to the CONFIG_HOME\tibcohost directory on the other machine after you have prepared it using this wizard.

Default: Selected

Packaged Host Location (displayed only if the Use zip to package host for move check box is selected) The machine and directory to which you want to move the .zip file. As long as you specify the target machine, it does not matter if you do not specify the target CONFIG_HOME\tibcohost directory correctly because the contents of the .zip file are automatically unpacked to the correct directory.
Unpack Host Unpack to this machine an ActiveMatrix host that has been moved from another machine. The host will have the same directory paths on this machine as it did on the other machine.

The option is selected if the wizard cannot find any ActiveMatrix hosts on this machine.

Select Packaged AMX Host fields (enabled only if Unpack Host is selected)
Packaged Host File The path and name of one of the following, as applicable:
  • The .zip file that you created using this wizard
  • The movedhost.properties file in the TIBCO Host instance directory that you moved to this machine
JMX URL The management URL that TIBCO Host uses to communicate with the node. It is usually the same as the JMX URL on the source machine but with the machine name changed to this machine.
