Configurations

TIBCO recommends keeping all configuration files in a version control system to track changes.

Take regular backups whenever these components are changed. When creating backups, be sure to do the following:

  • Ensure that all configuration files in $MQ_HOME/Config are backed up. These files affect the behavior of the TIBCO MDM application.
  • Back up the ECM.ear file. This is the TIBCO MDM application that gets unpacked and deployed into the application server. TIBCO recommends backing up this file for every change made to its contents, such as visual customization, custom function, custom workflow activities and custom web services.
  • Check in all the modified application server configuration files into your version control system. The configuration files for the supported application servers are:
    • Standalone.xml, for JBoss Application Server
    • /Config files for WebLogic Application Server and WebSphere Application Server
  • For more information on configuration files, refer to the Installing on Application Server chapter in the TIBCO MDM Installation and Configuration Guide.
  • Store all the enterprise-specific configurations in $MQ_COMMON_DIR. Back up and check these configurations into your version control system on a regular basis.
