Installation Overview

TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Policy Director 1.0.1 (or TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Service Pack-001) allows users to manage and enforce cross-functional requirements, such as security, monitoring, and compliance, independent of their implementation and deployment.

Because TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director allows you to set up and implement these governance components in different ways, the installer supports several different options. The installer option you select determines the available configuration options that TIBCO Configuration Tool offers.

Option Installer Description Configuration Tool Options
BusinessWorks Governance Installs the governance agent for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks , which allows users to set up the rules using TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks activities. You must install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks before you can install this component. You must install the governance agent for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks into the same TIBCO_HOME installation environment in which TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is installed.

Proxy Host Configures a proxy host for use with your governance solution. TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director allows you to create proxies for services that are managed in external containers such as WebSphere Application Server and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). You can configure a proxy host for an existing runtime host (TIBCO Host) or create a new runtime host for the proxy host.

If you create a new runtime host, you are prompted for host configuration parameters.

In both cases, you are prompted for proxy node configuration parameters.
