Deploying a TIBCO BusinessEvents Project : Deployment Overview

Deployment Overview
An EAR file deploys as one BusinessEvents processing unit. A processing unit can contain one or more inference agents, or one or more query agents, or both, or it can be deployed as a cache agent.

When you deploy an EAR, you specify the CDD that contains the configuration settings for the processing unit, and you specify which processing unit class to deploy.

For details about deploying BusinessEvents Decision Manager classes (implemented virtual rule functions) see TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager User’s Guide.
Hot Deployment
You can configure your BusinessEvents engine to allow you to replace the EAR file without shutting down the engine. This is known as a hot deployment. See Hot Deployment.
