Running TIBCO Configuration Tool in Console Mode

To configure ActiveMatrix BPM runtime objects from the command line, run TIBCO Configuration Tool in console mode.

Procedure

  1. Open a command window in the TIBCO_HOME\bpm\n.n\bin folder and run the following command:

    tct console

  2. At the TIBCO Configuration Folder prompt, specify the CONFIG_HOME to be used by this BPM system.

    CONFIG_HOME is the folder in which configuration data generated by the BPM system -- scripts, session data, configured binaries, logs, and so on -- is stored. The value of CONFIG_HOME depends on the operating system. For example, on Windows systems, the default value is:

    C:\ProgramData\amx-bpm\tibco\data

    The wizard selection menu is displayed, listing the available wizards (see TIBCO Configuration Tool Wizards Available on a Primary Machine and TIBCO Configuration Tool Wizards Available on a Remote Machine). For example, on a primary machine:

    Choose one option from the list below.

    [X] 1 - Create Express Developer Environment - V3.3
    [ ] 2 - Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator Server - V3.3
    [ ] 3 - Delete TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Instance - V3.1
    [ ] 4 - Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server - V3.1
    [ ] 5 - Configure TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server Node Type - V3.1
    [ ] 6 - Upgrade TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Instance - V3.1
    [ ] 7 - Edit TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Instance - V3.1
    [ ] 8 - Create TIBCO Host Instance - V3.3
    [ ] 9 - Configure Third-Party Driver
    [ ] 10 - Edit TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator Server Configuration - V3.3

    To select an item enter its number, or enter 'q' to quit: [1]

  3. Enter the number for the wizard that you want to run. The menu corresponding to the first screen of the selected wizard is displayed. For example, if you chose option 5 - Configure TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server Node Type, the menu that corresponds to the Welcome screen of this wizard is displayed:
