Chapter 26 Deploytime Configuration : Configuring to Run in a TIBCO Administrator Domain

Configuring to Run in a TIBCO Administrator Domain
Before configuring and deploying a TIBCO BusinessEvents project, you configure an enterprise archive resource (EAR) file for your BusinessEvents project within TIBCO Designer.
This section gives a general procedure for configuring deploytime properties for deployment using TIBCO Administrator. See Configuring to Run Outside of a TIBCO Administrator Domain for the equivalent procedure if you want to configure for command-line startup.
On the Advanced tab for the application you can configure generic options and global variable values.
On the Advanced tab for the merged BAR file (Application Management > application_name > Configuration > application_name.bar) you can set various engine properties. See Customizing the List of Properties on the Advanced Tab for details on adding options to the Advanced tab.
Properties configured in the default property file (BE_HOME/bin/be-engine.tra) are used when you deploy using TIBCO Administrator. However, properties set in TIBCO Administrator override those set in the property file.
Rule Session Configuration Options
When you deploy a BusinessEvents EAR file, all the separate BAR files within it are merged.
TIBCO Administration Domains
When you install TIBCO Administrator, you are prompted to create an administration domain and to create a username and password. You can use this domain or create another one (using Domain Utility) for your BusinessEvents applications and the hardware they run on. The first time you log in to the TIBCO Administrator user interface, you must use the username and password entered during installation of the TIBCO Administrator software. You can then create additional users and passwords as needed.
If TIBCO Administrator was already installed before you installed BusinessEvents, you may have to contact the person responsible for administering the software to get login credentials for an existing administration domain.
To Configure (But Not Deploy) a Project EAR Using TIBCO Administrator
1.
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)
2.
Select the administration domain for the application and provide the username and password assigned during installation, or other administrator user credentials. (See TIBCO Administration Domains for more information about domains.)
3.

Click the New Application button.
c.
At the Upload EAR File dialog, click Browse, select the EAR file you want to deploy, and click OK.

4.
Expand to Application Management > application_name > Configuration.
