Administrator Server Configuration: Payload Service Database Configuration

A payload service supports archiving, persisting and retrieving large size payload data. It is an independent service and does not depend on a log service. However, a log record sent to a log service can include a payload URL field to link a log message and payload data. You can store payload data in the same database used by Administrator server or use another database.

If you did not deploy the logging and payload services when you created the Administrator server using the TIBCO Configuration Tool, see TIBCO_HOME\administrator\version\scripts\logging\readme.txt.

Field/Button Description
Use ActiveMatrix Administrator Server Database Indicate that the payload service should use the same database as the ActiveMatrix Administrator server.
Note: Use the embedded in-process database only during development.

Default: Selected. If cleared, the remaining fields are enabled.

Note: The properties that the wizard sets in the build.properties file depend on the context in which the prompts are displayed. By default, specify the properties for the Administrator Server database and the information is then used for the Notification Service database, the Log Service database, and the Payload Service database. You can, however, overwrite the values for the Notification Service, Log Service, and Payload Service, and you can change them in the build.properties file.
Database Driver The driver for the external database.

Default: TIBCO-provided JDBC driver for HSQLDB 1.8.400

Database URL The URL of the external database.

Default: jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:1234/amx

Username The external database username.

Default: sa

Password The external database password.

Default: None

Max Connections The maximum number of database connections to allocate.

Default: 10

Database Server is SSL Enabled Indicate that the database server is enabled for SSL. When checked, the SSL Keystore Configuration fields are enabled.

Default: Cleared

Test Connection Verifies that TIBCO Configuration Tool can connect to the server using the information supplied on this page.
SSL Keystore Configuration:
Create a Trust Store Invokes a wizard to obtain certificates from the specified server and create the trust store:
  1. Click Create a Trust Store.
  2. Specify a password to protect the keystore and click Next. The SSL setup wizard displays the certificates imported from the server.
  3. In the Trust Selected Certifications area, select the certificates to trust and click Finish. The wizard fills in the Keystore Location, Keystore Type and Keystore Password fields.

    If you do not click Create a Trust Store, you must specify the details of an existing trust store that can be used to establish the trust relationship with the server.

Keystore Location Either:
  • the location in which the created trust store will be stored, or
  • the location of the trust store to be uploaded to ActiveMatrix Administrator. (You can either type this directly or click Browse to find it.)
Keystore Type The type of the created or uploaded trust store: JKS or JCEKS.

Default: JKS

Keystore Password Either:
  • the password specified in the Create a Trust Store wizard, or
  • the password required to access the trust store that is to be uploaded.
