Chapter 8 Deploying With TIBCO Administrator : Deployment in a TIBCO Administrator Domain

Deployment in a TIBCO Administrator Domain
You can use TIBCO Administrator for deploying, hot deploying, undeploying, starting and stopping TIBCO BusinessEvents engines.
Within an Enterprise Archive Resource (EAR) file, a TIBCO BusinessEvents ARchive (BAR) file contains the compiled agent files for all agents. When you upload an EAR file, The BAR file appears here in the TIBCO Administrator UI:
Application Management > application_name > Configuration > application_name.bar
The default value of application_name is provided by the name field in EAR file.
Message encoding  For deployment with TIBCO Administrator the message encoding specified in the CDD file General settings must match the TIBCO Administrator domain’s message encoding. The default message encoding for TIBCO BusinessEvents and TIBCO Administrator is ISO8859-1
Troubleshooting  When you deploy with TIBCO Administrator, remember to check the TIBCO Administrator logs (as well as TIBCO BusinessEvents logs) when troubleshooting TIBCO BusinessEvents deployment or runtime issues.
TIBCO Administration Domains
You can use an existing domain or create another one (using Domain Utility) for your TIBCO BusinessEvents applications and the hardware they run on.
The first time you log in to the TIBCO Administrator user interface after installing the software, you must use the username and password entered during installation. You can then create additional users and passwords as needed. If TIBCO Administrator was already installed before you installed TIBCO BusinessEvents, you may have to contact the person responsible for administering the software to get login credentials for an existing administration domain.
Property Overrides and Precedence
Properties set in TIBCO Administrator are added to the TRA file that TIBCO Administrator generates at deploy time (based on the default be-engine.tra file). However, See Order of Precedence at Runtime for more details.
Global variables that are overridden at the deployment level, however are stored in a different location. See Runtime Location of Global Variable Override Settings.
Using AppManage for Scripted Deployment to a Domain
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 explained in TIBCO Runtime Agent Scripting Deployment User’s Guide.
