Chapter 6 Basic MM Configuration : Configure the Site Topology in TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio

Configure the Site Topology in TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio
Before you begin ensure that you have a valid CDD file. The processing units that you will deploy to the various hosts are defined in the CDD. See Site Topology Overview for important information. See Site Topology Reference for detailed information on the settings.
To Add a Site Topology Diagram
Disable Animation to Avoid Display Issues  Animation can cause display problems. To disable animation, go to Windows > Preferences > TIBCO BusinessEvents > Diagram. In the Animation section, uncheck the Allow checkbox.
1.
Open the project in TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio. Select the project root, right-click and select New > Other > TIBCO BusinessEvents > Site Topology.
2.
3.
Select the Cluster Deployment Descriptor (CDD) that contains the PU definitions and other details you want to use. Only CDD files within the studio project you are configuring are available for selection.
4.
Click Finish. You see the site topology editor, showing the cluster bar icon and site globe icon, ready for you to build the site topology diagram:
To Configure the Site Topology
1.
On the canvas, click the site icon (the globe). In the Site Properties tab you can change the site name and description as desired. Other fields are view-only.
2.
The location of the Project CDD, which must be available to the TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Explorer. The CDD you selected in the wizard
The location of the Master CDD and EAR on the MM server. The MM server reads these files and copies them to the remote deployment locations specified in the DUs.
If the MM server is on a different machine from the machine where you are running TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio, you must copy the master files to the specified location so they are available for use by MM.
See Project, Master, and Deployed Locations of CDD and EAR Files for details.
3.
Add one or more deployment units: In the Site Topology section of the palette to the right of the canvas, click the deployment unit icon and then click the canvas. A DU icon appears on the canvas. Click again to add more DUs. Right-click the canvas to stop adding units. (If the palette is not visible, click Window > Show View > Palette or Window >Reset Perspective.)
A connection arrow appears automatically, connecting each deployment unit to the cluster.
4.
In the Deployed CDD and Deployed EAR fields, specify the directory where MM will put the files when it deploys this DU to the host machine.
Click Add and add one or more processing unit configurations (PUCs) to the deployment unit.
See Deployment Unit Settings for details.
5.
Configure processing unit configurations (PUCs): In the DU property sheet, double click one of the listed PUCs (or click the PUC icon shown in the diagram). The Processing Unit Configuration properties appear. Configure the PUC as follows (and configure the rest of the PUCs in a similar way):
Select the processing unit to use for this configuration. The list displays the PUs defined in the CDD. You can use one PU in multiple DUs, as appropriate. When you select a PU, the number of agents defined for it displays. (No agent level configuration is done in the site topology editor.)
Set the JMX port for MM to perform monitoring and management. When multiple PUs are running on one host, each PU must have a different JMX port. You can reuse ports on different hosts, however.
See Processing Unit Settings for details, especially on JMX port.
6.
Add one or more hosts. In the Site Topology section of the palette, click the Host icon, and then click the canvas. A host icon appears on the canvas. Click again to add more hosts. Right-click in the canvas area to stop adding hosts.
7.
In the General tab, configure the host name (including the domain extension), IP, and as needed, the user name and password, and operating system.
See Host Settings for details.
8.
Right-click to stop connecting.
To remove a connection, right-click to stop connecting, then right-click a connection arrow and click the Delete option.
9.
The canvas has a property sheet too: click an empty area of the canvas to see the number of deployment units and number of processing units in the site topology.
