   sourceHost="SystemHost"

Attributes

Attribute Required/Optional Description
name Required Name of the TIBCO Host instance being installed (it must be already added)
sourceHost Optional Name of the Source TIBCO Host, which is a running, already-registered TIBCO Host on the same machine and same <CONFIG_HOME> location where you desire to install the specified TIBCO Host. If not specified, TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator automatically picks a known running TIBCO Host on the same machine as specified in the managementUrl (or fail with an error, if none existed)
Any other attribute The install action ignores all other attributes.

Example of build.xml

<AMXAdminTask action="install" objectSelector="Host" />

What to Expect After Installation of a TIBCO Host

  • The folder structure for the new TIBCO Host instance is created on the same machine and same <CONFIG_HOME> location as the Source TIBCO Host.
  • This action cannot be performed on a newly created Host in a remote or different CONFIG_HOME as there will be no running Host to perform the action.
  • JMX Security configuration is inherited from the Source TIBCO Host. If the Source TIBCO Host was secure (that is JMX/SSL enabled), the new one is secured also, otherwise not.
  • If Bind IP was not originally specified, it is also inherited from the Source TIBCO Host.
  • While installation is in progress, TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator UI shows: Action History as Install (In Progress) and Host state as Not Installed. If installation succeeds, Host state is displayed as Installed and Action History is displayed Install Successful.
  • Machine name, Operating system, Host Version display fields are populated only after successful installation of the TIBCO Host.
