CDD Configuration Procedures : Task Summary

Task Summary
Tasks are divided between the bottom tabs of the CDD editor, as explained in this section. The Source tab enables you to view the XML file generated by the editor. It is strongly recommended that you do not manually edit this file.
Cluster Tab
At the Cluster tab, you select an object management (OM) type and configure as needed:
For Cache OM, see Configuring a Cache OM Cluster — Cluster Tab. This OM is generally used for production deployments. A backing store is also used in most cases.
Collections Tab
At the Collections tab, you can, as desired, group rules, rule functions, and destinations into collections so that they can be easily assigned to agent classes (and processing units in the case of log configurations).
Startup and Shutdown Rule Functions  Remember to put rule functions for use at start up into different groups from those used at shut down so you can select them appropriately at the agent classes tab.
Destinations require additional configuration, which can be done in this tab. (Destinations that are added to agent classes individually can be configured at the Agent Classes tab.)
You also set up log configurations as needed at this tab.
See Configuring the Collections Tab (All OM Types).
Agent Classes Tab
At the Agent Classes tab, you define properties for the agents you plan to deploy. See Configuring the Agent Classes Tab (All OM Types).
The "Monitoring & Management" agent type is used only for the MM server. Configuration of this agent type is explained in Chapter 6, Basic MM Configuration.
Cache agent classes, query agent classes (if TIBCO BusinessEvents Event Stream Processing add-on is used), and dashboard agent classes (if TIBCO BusinessEvents Views is used) all require the use of Cache OM.
Processing Units Tab
In the Processing Units tab, you define which agents to include in the processing unit, and which logging configuration to use. Depending on the OM, you also configure some additional settings. See Configuring the Processing Units Tab (All OM Types).
