Product Name : TIBCO(R) Managed File Transfer Command Center
Release Version : 8.5.2
Release Date : February 2024
======================================================================
Introduction
MFT Command Center(TM) provides a single point of control to
manage all of your enterprise file transfers, both inside and
outside the enterprise, and across all major platforms (from
Windows to the Mainframe). Command Center serves as the
digital dashboard into your entire network; using a standard
Web browser, administrators can review and control all
file-transfer activity - whether internal transfers across the
extended enterprise or external transfers with customers,
suppliers and business partners (B2B).

Additional Information
Please note that support is provided for TIBCO's Managed File
Transfer products only when used with an indicated third party
vendor's generally supported release versions. Once the operating
system or other software component goes into extended support mode,
or the vendor no longer supports a version, it will cease to be
supported by TIBCO Technical Support. Please see the following
sections for additional information on supported operating system,
database system, Java, and other software components.Customers
should migrate to supported versions of Windows Client and Windows
Server because in the event that you encounter an issue/outage in
your environment on an unsupported product, Microsoft engineers may
not be able to help resolve the issue until you've upgraded to a
supported level.
Each JMS server install contains jar files generally in the
\java\lib directory needed by both MFTCC and MFTIS. These files
must be copied from the JMS server and placed in the
\server\webapps\cfcc\WEB-INF\lib directory upon installation.
Below are the JMS jar files needed for TIBCO EMS Servers:
-jms-2.0.jar
-tibcrypt.jar (not required if using EMS Server version 8.4 or
above)
-tibjms.jar

Additional Information
Database:
Users need to have one of the supported Databases installed to
connect to during the Command Center install.
Databases for MFT should support a UTF-8 character set and have
a case insensitive collation.
Customers must provide the database JDBC drivers for their
instance. Below are links that may be helpful to locate the
drivers you need:
MS SQL - MFT supports two JDBC Drivers: Microsoft and
SourceForge. We suggest using the Microsoft JDBC driver.
The Microsoft JDBC driver can be downloaded from:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/download-microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017
The SourceForge JDBC driver can be downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/files/. Supported database
driver is jTDS 1.3.1. Note: There are two zip files you can
download, jtds-1.3.1-src.zip and jtds-1.3.1-dist.zip. Download
the distribution file, jtds-1.3.1-dist.zip, and place it in a
temporary directory. Extract all the files and verify
jtds-1.3.1.jar is there.
MySQL - The driver can be downloaded from:
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
PostgreSQL - The driver can be downloaded from:
https://jdbc.postgresql.org/
Oracle - Customers must provide the Oracle JDBC drivers.
Supported drivers are ojdbc8 (Oracle 19c) which can be
downloaded from the www.oracle.com website. Notes for Oracle
database use:
The Oracle RAC Single Client Access Name (SCAN) for Oracle Real
Application Clusters is not supported. The following url
provides additional information:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/clustering/overview/scan-129069.pdf
The following connection string example explicitly lists the
participating Oracle RAC
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(LOAD_BALANCE=on)(FAILOVER=ON)
(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host1)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host2)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=
ServiceName)( SERVER=DEDICATED)))
Java:
One of the supported JDK needs to be installed. The appropriate
64-bit Java JDK/SDK must be installed as determined by the
server architecture.
Java Heap Size:
Default Minimum 512 MB Default Maximum 4096 MB or 50% of
installed RAM. If a maximum value is specified greater than
available RAM, the MFT Command Center may fail to start.

Product-Specific Information
Additional Database Table Space information:
There are many factors that should be considered when planning
and allocating database disk space. The most significant
include:
1. The number of audit records that will be written from
Internet Server
2. The total number of audit records that will be written from
all Platform Servers
3. How long audits be retained in the database
4. The size of the audit records
The actual size of the audit record depends on a number of
factors including the length of file names, number and size of
post processing actions, number and size of email notification
addresses, etc. Most audit records will range from 1 to 4 KB in
size with an estimated average of approximately 2 KB. A 4 KB
audit record would normally be considered very large. Using 2
KB as an average, for example, 10 GB of disc space would be
enough to retain approximately 5 million audit records in the
database.
Database Connection:
The default MFT Command Center maximum database connection
parameter value is set during installation to 400. For high
volume file transfer environments, increase the parameter above
the default of 400. The database maximum connections parameter
should match the MFT Command Center maximum database
connection. Please refer to your database manual for
information on how to set this parameter.
As with any enterprise application, changes may need to be made
to firewalls and other security systems in a production
environment. The following tables list default ports for
services required and used within MFT Command Center. Please
note that these are the default ports, you will need to check
with the appropriate systems administrator to ensure these
ports are used in your enterprise.
Either http or https can be used for soap calls. By default
TIBCO MFT Command Center uses ports 8080 and 8443 for http and
https respectively. These defaults can be changed at
installation time.
MS SQL Server - 1433
Oracle - 1521/1522
MySQL - 3306
PostgreSQL - 5432
