Running an eFTL Server

Complete these steps to start a TIBCO eFTL server.

Prerequisites

You have configured an eFTL cluster using the TIBCO FTL realm server GUI.

Procedure

  1. Add TIBCO FTL libraries to the library path.
    If you invoke an eFTL server executable file, you must complete this step.

    If you invoke an eFTL server start script in the bin directory (see step 3), you may omit this step, as the scripts set the library path automatically.

    Platform Description
    Linux Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes TIBCO_HOME/ftl/version/lib.
    Windows Ensure that PATH includes TIBCO_HOME\ftl\version\bin.
  2. Optional. Add TIBCO Enterprise Message Service libraries to the library path.
    If you configure EMS channels in the TIBCO eFTL server, you must complete this step.
    Platform Description
    Linux Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes both TIBCO_HOME/ems/version/lib and TIBCO_HOME/ems/version/lib/64.
    Windows Ensure that PATH includes TIBCO_HOME\ems\version\bin.
  3. Start the server using either a script or an executable file.
    Platform Description
    Linux Script: 
    TIBCO_HOME/eftl/version/bin/tibeftlserver.sh command_line_args
    Executable File: 
    TIBCO_HOME/eftl/version/bin/tibeftlserver command_line_args
    Windows Script: 
    TIBCO_HOME\eftl\version\bin\tibeftlserver.bat command_line_args
    Executable File: 
    TIBCO_HOME\eftl\version\bin\tibeftlserver.exe command_line_args
