Setting up TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition Plug-in Runtime

You can set up TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition plug-in runtime on Docker, Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF), or Kubernetes.

Procedure

  1. To provision the plug-in runtime, go to https://docs.tibco.com/pub/bwce/2.5.1/doc/html/GUID-E1609C4C-BCA4-4D04-8E5B-503FE3166B89.html and follow the steps provided in the section, "Provision the TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition Plug-in Runtime" on the page.
  2. Add bwpluginas_bwce_runtime zip file to TIBCO_HOME/bwce/2.4/docker/resources/addons/plugins folder.
  3. Install TIBCO ActiveSpaces® on a Linux server.
    Note: The Linux client libraries of ActiveSpaces® server are required. Only when you install ActiveSpaces® on a Linux server, the client libraries are available.
  4. Create a .zip file of the Linux client libraries of ActiveSpaces® by executing following command:
    ls AS-TIBCO-HOME/lib/*.so* | zip -j as_linux_client_libraries -@
  5. Add the ActiveSpaces® client libraries .zip file to the TIBCO_HOME/bwce/2.4/docker/resources/addons/lib folder.
  6. Create a .zip file of the TIBCO FTL Linux client libraries using the following command:
    ls FTL-TIBCO-HOME/lib/*.so* | zip -j ftl_linux_client_libraries -@
  7. Add TIBCO FTL client libraries .zip file to the TIBCO_HOME/bwce/2.4/docker/resources/addons/lib folder.
  8. Build the Docker image after you add all the above dependencies.
  9. Run the .ear file in Docker.

Example

Note: The default AS 4.6.0 tibdg.jar is packed with the bwce_runtime.zip build. If you need to use other .jar files of ActiveSpaces®, then replace the default file by unzipping the bwce_runtime.zip file.
