Deploying an Application

The final task in the Getting Started tutorial using the plug-in is deploying an application. After testing, if the configured process works as expected, you can deploy the application that contains the configured process into a runtime environment, and then use the bwadmin utility to manage the deployed application.

Prerequisites

Before deploying an application, you must test the process as described in Testing a Process and generate an application archive, which is an Enterprise Archive (EAR) file that is created in ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks.

Procedure

  1. Save the project in the TIBCO Designer window.
  2. Create an EAR file and then create a process archive in it.
  3. Add processes defined in the project to the process archive.

  4. Click Build Archive under the Enterprise Archive panel to build the archive. When you click the button, TIBCO Designer generates an EAR file that you can deploy from TIBCO Administrator.

  5. Start TIBCO Administrator and upload the EAR file for the project.

    See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Administration for details about how to deploy an application.

  6. Deploy the application and start the process.
