Starting the TIBCO BusinessEvents Agents and Sending Events

To start, you can simply open the example readme.html file and follow instructions there.

Tip: In order to send events into the engines, you must enter information into the forms provided in the readme. Navigate to BE_HOME/examples/standard/FraudDetectionCache and open readme.html in your browser. Follow the instructions in the readme file to start two engines and send events to the inference agent.

See Import of Existing Projects into Your Workspace to understand the requirements for using the interactive readme file.

    Procedure
  1. Open a command window and at the command prompt, start the TIBCO BusinessEvents engine using the following command.
    This command starts the cache agent. Locations specified are those of the provided configured example. Substitute your values for BE_HOME, and the location of the EAR and CDD files (It can be convenient to copy the CDD from your workspace to the same location where you saved the EAR file.):
    cd BE_HOME/examples/standard/FraudDetectionCache
    BE_HOME/bin/be-engine --propFile BE_HOME\bin\be-engine.tra -u cache -c FraudDetectionCache/fdcache.cdd fdcache.ear

    For example, if you are simply running the provided example, you would use this command line to start the cache agent:

    c:/tibco/be/6.0/bin/be-engine --propFile c:/tibco/be/6.0/bin/be-engine.tra -u cache -c FraudDetectionCache/fdcache.cdd fdcache.ear

  2. When the cache agent has started, open a second command window, and start the inference agent in a similar way. Again, locations specified are those of the provided pre-configured example.
    cd BE_HOME/examples/standard/FraudDetectionCache
    BE_HOME/bin/be-engine --propFile BE_HOME\bin\be-engine.tra -u cache -c FraudDetectionCache/fdcache.cdd fdcache.ear

    For example, if you are simply running the provided example, you would use this command line to start the cache agent:

    c:/tibco/be/6.0/bin/be-engine --propFile c:/tibco/be/6.0/bin/be-engine.tra -u cache -c FraudDetectionCache/fdcache.cdd fdcache.ear
    cd BE_HOME/examples/standard/FraudDetectionCache
    BE_HOME/bin/be-engine --propFile BE_HOME\bin\be-engine.tra -u default -c FraudDetectionCache/fdcache.cdd fdcache.ear

    For example, if you are simply running the provided example, you would use this command line:

    c:/tibco/be/6.0/bin/be-engine --propFile c:/tibco/be/6.0/bin/be-engine.tra -u default -c FraudDetectionCache/fdcache.cdd fdcache.ear
  3. Optional Activity
    Start a second cache agent. Experiment with stopping one cache agent engine then restarting it again, to see how one cache agent can operate successfully. Because one backup copy of the data is kept, and there are two cache agents, each cache agent has the complete cache contents. In a production system with more cache agents no single cache agent has all the cache data.
