Deploying Hawk Plug-ins in TIBCO Administrator
TIBCO Hawk Admin Plugins for TIBCO Administrator are not available as built-in components with the TIBCO Runtime Agent/Administrator installation. To get the TIBCO Hawk Admin Plugins for TIBCO Administrator, install a licensed copy of TIBCO Hawk independently. This copy of Hawk could be installed either in the same TIBCO_HOME or its own TIBCO_HOME.
After the complete installation of the standalone Hawk, the Hawk Admin plug-in web applications are available at the HAWK_HOME/adminplugins folder.
Now, deploy the Hawk Admin plug-ins in TIBCO Administrator using either of the following methods:
Copy all available web application archives from the HAWK_HOME/admin-plugins folder to the ADMINISTRATOR_HOME/administratorplugins folder. These plug-ins are then deployed automatically on next restart of TIBCO Administrator.
Restart the TIBCO Administrator. In the TIBCO Administrator, navigate to Application Management > All Service Instances > View Service Instance: TIBCO Administrator > Plug-Ins, and click Add to add the plug-ins manually.
