Add Connection Manager Node

You can create Connection Manager nodes and define the information used by TIBCO MFT Command Center to connect to Connection Manager nodes through the Add Connection Manager Node page which can be accessed by clicking Management > Connection Manager Nodes > Add Connection Manager Node.

You can create a Connection Manager node manually by setting the fields in the Connection Manager Node Information section and then clicking Add.

The following table lists the fields on this page:

Parameters Description
Name Defines the name of the Connection Manager node.
Description Defines descriptive information for the Connection Manager node.
Type Defines the Connection Manager node type.
Three types of Connection Manager nodes are supported:
  • CMS: Connection Manager Server
  • CMA: Connection Manager Agent
  • Internet Server: when Internet Server is selected, a drop-down list is displayed to the right. You can select a predefined Internet Server from the drop-down list. If selected, the configuration information for that server is added to this page.
IP Address or Fully Qualified DNS Name Defines the IP address or DNS name of the Connection Manager node.
IP Port Defines the HTTPS IP port that the Connection Manager node is listening on.

When you select a Connection Manager node in the Type field, this field is filled in with the default port used by that node type. This port should be used unless the default ports are changed.

Password Used for Managing this Node Defines the password to be used by TIBCO MFT Command Center and validated by the Connection Manager node when configuring the node.

This password is set during the installation of CMA, CMS, or Internet Server.
