Platform Server Functionality

TIBCO MFT Platform Server can be configured and managed, and transfers can be initiated through Platform Server interfaces; these interfaces require access to the actual TIBCO MFT Platform Server computer. Most functions are executed through a command line program or by editing a configuration file. Many of these functions can also be performed by TIBCO MFT Command Center. TIBCO MFT Command Center contains a single point at which many of these functions can be executed.

TIBCO MFT Command Center is installed on an embedded J2EE application server. You can log onto TIBCO MFT Command Center through a web browser to configure, manage, and perform transfers on TIBCO MFT Platform Servers.
