Deploying the FTL Server Cluster

Before you begin- TIBCO FTL and TIBCO EMS must already be installed on each machine where an FTL server is to be started.
- The clocks on all machines where FTL servers will be running must be synchronized.
- The YAML configuration must have been generated.

Procedure 

Repeat the following steps for each FTL server in the cluster.

1. Choose two existing empty directories or create two new directories to serve as the general FTL server data directory and the FTL store-specific data directory.
2. Configure the FTL server to use one of the chosen directories as its general data directory and the other as its FTL store-specific data directory. This can be done by adding the data and -store parameters under the corresponding server entry in the servers section of the YAML configuration.
servers:
  # ...
  <FTL server name>:
  # ...
  - realm:
      data: <absolute path to general FTL server data directory>
  - tibemsd:
      # ...
      -store: <absolute path to FTL store-specific data directory>
If not specified, both the general data directory and the FTL store-specific data
directory for the FTL server will default to the current working directory.
3. Run the FTL server executable.
tibftlserver -n <FTL server name> -c <path to YAML configuration>
