Chapter 2 Installing the Software Into a Cluster : Adding a TIBCO Application as a Service to the Cluster

Adding a TIBCO Application as a Service to the Cluster
This section shows how to register a TIBCO BusinessWorks process as a generic service to a cluster. The same steps apply if registering another TIBCO application as a service to a cluster.
You must install TIBCO BusinessWorks on the node before you can add a BusinessWorks process to the cluster. After installing the software, complete the following steps to add the process to the cluster. After the process has been added, you must use the cluster software to start and stop the process.
Add the Process as a Service
Before adding a process as a generic service to the cluster software, you must deploy the application that contains the process using the TIBCO Administrator GUI. If you are adding the process as a service to the cluster software, the process must be deployed as an NT Service.
Complete the following steps after the deployment is successful:
