Performing Hot Deployment in a TIBCO Administrator Domain

You can perform hot deployment of the TIBCO BusinessEvents project after it has been deployed to a TIBCO Administrator domain.

Procedure

  1. As needed, ensure that all the following are started on the machine running the processing unit or units you want to hot deploy to:
    • TIBCO Administrator service for the administration domain.
    • TIBCO Hawk service for the administration domain.
  2. Start the TIBCO Administrator GUI:
    • Windows: Start > Programs > TIBCO > TIBCO Administrator Enterprise Edition > version > TIBCO Administrator.
    • Web browser: http://host-name:port/ (where host-name is the machine name and port is the HTTP port specified during installation, 8080 by default)
  3. Select the administration domain for the application and provide the user name and password assigned during installation, or other administrator user credentials.
  4. Expand to Application Management > application_name > Configuration .
  5. In the Configuration Builder panel, select the application (at the base of the tree).
  6. In the Edit Application Configuration dialog, click Upload New EAR File.
  7. At the Upload EAR File dialog, click Browse, select the EAR file you want to deploy, and click OK.
  8. Confirm the upload by clicking OK again, then click Save. Verify that the Deployability column displays Deployable.
  9. Click Deploy. You see the Deploy Configuration dialog.
  10. Clear these check boxes (if they are selected):
    • Stop running services before deployment.
    • Start successfully deployed services .
    • Force redeployment of all services.

      (When the Stop running services before deployment check box is selected, you see an additional setting, Kill services that haven't stopped after (seconds). It is removed when you clear the check box.)

  11. Click OK. TIBCO Administrator performs the hot deployment of your modified TIBCO BusinessEvents project. If deployment is successful, the Deployed Configuration panel in the Configuration dialog displays Success in the Deployment Status column.
