Deploying a TIBCO FTL Server

This section describes the steps required to configure and deploy a standalone TIBCO FTL server. These instructions are suitable for setting up a development environment for testing FTL stores.

A standalone FTL server does not provide fault-tolerant persistence capabilities and is not suitable for most production settings. For information on configuring and deploying an FTL server cluster that meets your production requirements, refer to the TIBCO FTL Administration product guide.

Prerequisites

TIBCO FTL must already be installed on the host machine that is to run the FTL server.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to any empty directory that can be used as the data directory.
    When not explicitly specified, the FTL server uses the current directory as its working data directory. If you have an existing FTL server working data directory that you would like to use, navigate to it instead. 
    cd data_dir_1

    When the FTL server detects an empty working directory, it begins with a default configuration. The default FTL server configuration is sufficient for the purpose of connecting an EMS server with FTL stores.

  2. Run the following FTL server executable: 
    tibftlserver -n <name>@<host>:<port>

    Where,

    <name> is a unique name for the FTL server, for example, ftl1.

    <port> is any port not bound by another process.
