Configuring Connection Manager

When the Connection Manager components (CMA, CMS, and Internet Server) are installed, default values are set which can support Connection Manager to work in most installations. TIBCO MFT Command Center supports you to update the configurations of the components in the TIBCO MFT Command Center Administrator pages.

The Connection Manager configuration pages can be accessed through the following TIBCO MFT Command Center options:
  • Management > Connection Manager Nodes > Add Connection Manager Node
  • Management > Connection Manager Nodes > Manage Connection Manager Nodes
Note: If you want to use TIBCO MFT Command Center to configure CMA, CMS, and Internet Server, firewall ports must be opened to allow TIBCO MFT Command Center to communicate with CMA, CMS, and Internet Server. For more information of the required ports and firewall settings, see Connection Manager Ports and Firewall Considerations.

The help pages for the Connection Manager Administrator pages describe in great detail the parameters on the individual pages. See the help pages for detailed information on the parameters.

In addition to updating the component configurations through the TIBCO MFT Command Center Administrator pages, you can configure the Connection Manager parameters through configuration files. CMS, CMA, and Internet Server Connection Manager configuration parameters are saved in .xml files. You can use a text editor to configure the Connection Manager parameters. Use a text editor to configure the CMA, CMS, and Internet Server configuration files only when you cannot use TIBCO MFT Command Center to configure these files.

You can find the configuration files in the following directories:
  • MFTIS: <MFTIS Install>/server/webapps/cfcc/WEB-INF/reverseProxyDmz.xml
  • CMA: <CMA Install>/webapps/connmgr/WEB-INF/reverseProxyDmz.xml
  • CMS: <CMS Install>/webapps/connmgr/WEB-INF/reverseProxyInternal.xml

For more information of the configuration files, see Connection Manager Configuration Files.
