Prerequisites
Configuration of an ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks component requires specific knowledge about external dependencies. In most cases, you also need files such as JDBC driver to create connections with the databases.
Component configurations depend on environment implementation details to establish connections with external services hosted somewhere beyond the local host. Using external services can be optional for development systems, but many production systems require a more complex architecture with externally hosted services and dependencies.
In particular, prior to publishing and deploying the rest of your BusinessWorks stack, you must keep the database and the messaging service in place or ready to be deployed. When ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks server is published and run on TIBCO Silver Fabric, the database is initialized with an ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks specific schema.
Additionally, you can plan to host several services separately from the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks server. To externally host the following services with respect to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks, make sure that these services are already installed and running.
- External EMS for communication transport and as a Group Provider technology
- External FTL Server for communication transport or as a group provider technology
- External MySQL or PostgreSQL, or Oracle database in case of ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x
During the component configuration, you can then specify the URL and connection profile values for the mentioned services.
