Starting the EMS Server Using JSON Configuration

Note: Users using the Central Administration feature must start the EMS server in JSON mode. This is done from the command line, using the -config option to specify the JSON configuration file. For more information, see 'JSON Configuration Files' in the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Central Administration guide.

Your JSON-configured tibemsd must be running before it can be added to the Central Administration server list. To start the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server using the JSON configuration file:

Procedure

  1. From the command line, navigate to EMS_HOME/bin.
  2. Enter the following command and option: 
    tibemsd -config json-file-path

    where json-file-path is the path to your JSON configuration file. For example: 

    tibemsd -config /tibemsconfig/tibemsd.json

    When started using the JSON configuration, the tibemsd silently ignores any unknown parameters. For example, no configuration errors are thrown if the tibemsd.json file contains an obsolete parameter.

    Note: For information on converting .conf configuration files to JSON configuration files, see 'Conversion of Server Configuration Files to JSON' in the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Central Administration guide.
