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.

Before deploying an application, you must generate an application archive, which is an enterprise archive (EAR) file that is created in TIBCO Business Studio.

Deploying an application involves the following tasks:
  1. Uploading an application archive
  2. Deploying an application archive
  3. Starting an application

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

Note:
  • Before running the application that contains the ExcelData activity and is deployed in the Mac OS platform, you have to complete the following steps:
    1. Open the bwappnode-nodename.tra file, which is located in the TIBCO_HOME\bw\version_number\domains\domain_name\appnodes\space_name\node_name\bin directory.
    2. In the bwappnode-nodename.tra file, change #java.extended.properties=-Xmx1024m -Xms128m -XX:PermSize=27m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:-HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

      into

      java.extended.properties=-Xmx1024m -Xms128m -XX:PermSize=27m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:-HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Djava.awt.headless=true.
    3. Save the file and restart the current application node.
  • Before running the application that contains the XPath functions, complete the following steps:
    1. Open the bwappnode-nodename.tra file, which is located in the TIBCO_HOME\bw\version_number\domains\domain_name\appnodes\space_name\node_name\bin directory.
    2. In the bwappnode-nodename.tra file, change #java.extended.properties=-Xmx1024m -Xms128m -XX:PermSize=27m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:-HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

      into

      java.extended.properties=-Xmx1024m -Xms128m -XX:PermSize=27m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:-HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl.
    3. Save the file and restart the current application node.
