AppManage Utility

The AppManage utility creates an XML based deployment configuration file in which deployment options can be defined. The utility also uploads the deployment file and EAR file into a TIBCO Administrator administration domain. The AppManage utility can be used to:

•	Create a deployment configuration file based on information in an EAR file , or from an application already configured in the TIBCO Administrator GUI.

•	Upload an EAR file to an administration domain without specifying deployment configuration options. After the file is imported, it is ready to be configured with deployment options and deployed using the TIBCO Administrator GUI.

•	Upload an EAR file and a deployment configuration file into an administration domain in one operation. The application is uploaded with its deployment options set, but is not deployed.

•	Upload an EAR file and a deployment configuration file and deploy the application in one operation. Using this method, you can quickly deploy your applications in multiple domains.

•

Export all application archives and deployment configuration files within a domain, so they can be batch deleted, started, stopped, undeployed, or deployed in another domain. For TIBCO Rendezvous administration domains, you can change the transport set for application to administration server communication, from rv (Rendezvous) to local, or the reverse.

•	Undeploy a deployed application.

•	Delete an application from an administration domain.

•	Start a service instance of an application.

•	Stop a successfully deployed service instance of an application.

Credential File

A credential file contains the administration domain user’s name and encrypted password.

The -cred option takes the name and location of a property file containing username and encrypted password. If the -cred option is used, the -user and-pw options should not be used.

 

In some cases, message "Specify userID and password" is generated even after providing the credential file because of incorrect credential file or it doesn't contain the required two field in proper format : - user pw

When invoking an AppManage option, use the -cred option to specify the name and location of the property file.

AppManage -upload -ear <ear_name> -cred <file-path\cred123.txt> -domain <domain_name>

To Create a Sample Credential File:

1.	Create a text file with the username and password entries only as shown next. Add the prefix #! to the password.

user=admin

pw=#!ax86n0ty

2.	Save the file and invoke the utility giving the file as input.

 

Sample Credential file: user=username-1 pw=#!password-1   user=username-2 pw=#!password-2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . user=username-N pw=#!password-N
