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

Adding a TIBCO Application as an Application to a Cluster
This section shows how to register a TIBCO BusinessWorks process as a generic application to a cluster. The same steps apply if registering another TIBCO application as an application 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 an Application
Before adding a process as a generic application 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 an application to the cluster software, the process must be deployed as an application.
Complete the following steps after the deployment is successful:
1.
You’ll need the application’s command line when registering the BusinessWorks application to the cluster. To get the command line, navigate to the application directory on the cluster shared drive and open (by choosing Edit) the application’s .cmd file. In our example, the application’s .cmd file is located in the R:\tibco\tra\domain\ClusterDemo\application\BW_RV_EndtoEnd folder. Copy the entire command line. For example, see the following figure.

In the cluster administrator window, select Tibco Group, right-click and select New > Resource.

Bring the Application Online
After the service is registered to the machine, you must use the cluster software to bring the service online. From the cluster administrator, right-click on the BW Application generic resource and select Bring Online. The State column changes to online, indicating success.
