For deployment outside of a domain you set properties in the engine property files. The main configuration file is the
be-engine.tra file. You can also define sets of properties in supplementary files.
When you deploy to a TIBCO Administrator domain, you can set properties using engine property files or using the TIBCO Administrator user interface, or both. Whether you use the TRA file or TIBCO Administrator to set properties depends on what is convenient in your situation.
In TIBCO Administrator the individual BARs are, in effect, merged into one, and one set of BAR dialogs is available for configuration. You cannot deploy a BAR file individually. In effect, you are setting properties at the node level. However some property names contain an agent identifier so they can apply at the agent or agent group level.
To set the deploytime engine properties in TIBCO Administrator, you go to the Advanced tab for the merged BAR. Expand Application Management >
application_name > Configuration >
application_name.bar, and then click the Advanced tab.
The default value of application_name is provided by the name of the enterprise archive resource, defined in TIBCO Designer. You can change the value when you upload the EAR file in TIBCO Administrator.
Instead of using the TIBCO Administrator user interface, you can perform scripted deployment to a TIBCO Administrator domain using the AppManage utility. Use of AppManage is not explained in BusinessEvents documentation. See TIBCO Runtime Agent Scripting Deployment User’s Guide for details.
