Provisioning the Plug-in for MQ in TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition

This plug-in is supported in TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition 2.3 and later. There are general procedures in the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition documentation for installing the run time artifacts of the plug-in in the BWCE container.

Note that, the procedure described in this topic is intended to augment, not replace the BWCE documentation.

Procedure

  1. Download and install TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition. In the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition installation there is a folder named docker. This is a staging area for building the container image. Either use this folder or copy it to a place of your choice.
  2. Copy the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition runtime archive to the bwce-runtime folder.
  3. Download the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition runtime archive for the version of the MQ plug-in you are using. This archive has a structure as follows:
  4. Note that there is no MQ OSGi JAR file in this archive. It must be added to the plug-in's folder in the archive, so unpack it and copy the MQ client OSGi JAR file to the runtime/plugins folder:
    You can use any supported version of the MQ client JAR.
  5. Re-archive the run time files of the plug-in exactly as they were before you extracted them.
  6. Copy the newly created plug-in runtime archive into the plugins folder of the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition docker file system.
  7. You can use the docker build command to create an image which can subsequently be used to deploy the EAR file of your application. See the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition documentation for the procedure to create and deploy an EAR file in a docker container.
