Configuration of the TIBCO Hawk Rulebases

When you configure a new TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM system, and also when you create any additional BPM nodes in the system, the TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT) automatically generates a basic set of TIBCO Hawk rulebases specifically for the system being installed and the nodes being created.

The TIBCO Hawk rulebase files are generated from templates near the end of the TCT process, after the nodes have been created. You can use these rulebases to monitor the BPM node JVMs, their log files, and the system they are running on.

Note: TCT generates Hawk rulebases when you configure an additional BPM node, but if you create any system node after the first one, you must use the genhawkrulebase utility. See Generation of Hawk Rulebases from the Command Line for instructions on using theutility.

See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Installation and Configuration for details of the installation process and the TCT. The creation of the Hawk rulebase files is completely automatic. It does not require any intervention by the user running the TCT.
