Cluster Deployment Descriptor (CDD)
All methods of deployment require a cluster deployment descriptor (CDD).
Agent Configuration
Different kinds of agents play different roles in a large application. For example, inference agents perform rule evaluation, and cache agents manage the object instances generated and used by the inference agents (when the Cache object management type is used). To include multiple agents in an engine instance you add multiple TIBCO BusinessEvents agent classes in one processing unit.
Configuring an agent involves the following (depending on the type of agent you are configuring):
- Selecting one or more sets of rules
- Selecting destinations
- Selecting event preprocessors for destinations, and thread settings to handle preprocessing more efficiently
- Selecting functions that perform startup and shutdown actions
For more information about configuring the CDD see TIBCO BusinessEvents Configuration Guide.
