Creating the ActiveSpaces Data Grid

Before you begin

Complete the steps listed in Preparing for Installation.
Complete the steps listed in Installing TIBCO FTL Server as a Windows Service.
On Microsoft Windows, open the Services window and manually start each of the TIBCO FTL servers. Ensure that the TIBCO FTL servers are running. Verify by taking a look at the logs that are written to C:\activespacesdata\logs and the realm data that is written to C:\activespacesdata\realm_data.

Procedure

Create the example data grid by using the tibdg.exe administration tool, which creates the data grid definition in the realm. The data grid definition saved from Preparing for Installation is found in C:\activespacesdata\_default.tibdg.
```
TIBCO_HOME\as\<as_version>\bin\tibdg -r "http://localhost:8085|http://localhost:8185|http://localhost:8285" -s C:\activespacesdata\_default.tibdg
```
After creating the data grid, check the status by using the tibdg.exe administration tool.
```
TIBCO_HOME\as\<as_version>\bin\tibdg -r "http://localhost:8085|http://localhost:8185|http://localhost:8285" status
```
The output shows the data grid and the processes that are not yet running.
