Chapter 29 Agent and Processing Unit Configuration : Configuring Processing Units (All OM Types)

Configuring Processing Units (All OM Types)
To configure a processing unit (PU), you add the items you configured earlier, and any additional properties required. If you do not find a configuration item you require, click the appropriate tab and add it, then return to Processing Units tab and continue configuration.
One processing unit named default is provided out of the box. You can change this name. It has no significance, except that TIBCO Administrator expects a processing unit of this name by default, which can be useful for testing purposes.
Processing units are referenced in the site topology file used by TIBCO BusinessEvents Monitoring and Management component (see Chapter 3, Basic MM Configuration in TIBCO BusinessEvents Administration).
PUs with Unique Agent Instance Properties
Depending on configuration, some processing units can be deployed more than once in a cluster. Others have unique configuration details that make them deployment-specific, that is, that limit them to being deployed only once in a cluster. Configuring the following CDD settings for a processing unit makes it deployment-specific processing unit:
Agent Key  At the processing unit node, you can associate a unique key with a selected agent class. This key identifies an agent instance uniquely at runtime. The purpose of the agent key is to retrieve scorecards from the backing store. Scorecards are local to an agent and the key enables the correct scorecard to be returned to the correct agent.
Agent Priority  The agent priority determines which agents of a given class are active, when fault tolerance is used. Each deployed agent of an agent class must have a different priority.
See Deployment-Specific Processing Units in TIBCO BusinessEvents Administration for other ways a processing unit can be deployment-specific.
To Add a Processing Unit
See CDD Processing Units Tab Settings Reference for guidelines on the settings and properties.

For deployment, TIBCO Administrator by default looks for a processing unit called default and a CDD file called default.
