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 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 EAR file
  2. Deploying an application
  3. Starting an application

For more details on how to deploy an application, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Administration guide.

Editing the Application Node

Before deploying the application that contains the PDFWriter activity on the Mac OS platform, you must edit the application node in the TRA file:

  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.
