TIBCO Runtime Agent The TIBCO Runtime Agent (TRA) provides basic connectivity between the adapter and other TIBCO infrastructure tools. The TRA is required on any machine on which an adapter is installed. The TRA runs on each machine on which an adapter runs and executes scripts, sends alerts, and performs recovery as specified. The TRA has two main functions: • It supplies an agent that runs in the background on each machine. − The agent is responsible for starting and stopping processes that run on a machine according to the deployment information. − The agent monitors the machine. That information is then visible through the TIBCO Administrator GUI. • It supplies the runtime environment, that is, all shared libraries including third-party libraries required by the adapter. TIBCO Domain Utility The TRA contains the TIBCO Domain Utility, which is used to manage the components available on a TIBCO administration domain. The utility allows you to: • Add or remove a machine to a TIBCO administration domain. • Add or remove the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server plug-in to a TIBCO administration domain. • Change TIBCO Rendezvous parameters. This is an advanced option performed only by users familiar with TIBCO Rendezvous. If you want to perform this task, you must perform it on each machine in the TIBCO administration domain, then restart the TIBCO Administration Server. • Change TIBCO administration domain credentials. This is an advanced option. You must perform it on the machine that hosts the TIBCO Administration Server. • Remove a secondary TIBCO Administration Server. • Enable TIBCO administration domain and security management on a machine that hosts TIBCO Administrator. • Migrate previous TIBCO Administrator installations.
