Using Automatic Configuration

Automatic Configuration is the default mode for storing configuration objects. In Automatic Configuration mode, the configuration source is a single directory specified in the -auto_config_dir startup option. The agent locates the automatic configuration directory at startup and loads schedules first, then rulebases. Since all rulebases found are loaded, a rulebase map is not used in Automatic Configuration mode.

After an agent is started, in this mode additional rulebases can be loaded by deploying rulebases through Hawk Console, or by invoking the RuleBaseEngine:loadRuleBaseFromFile() method. For more information about specific methods, see the TIBCO Hawk Microagent Reference.
