TIBCO Domain Logical Machine Name Configuration

The TIBCO Domain Machine Name (also known as the TIBCO Logical Machine name TLM) provides for publishing of a unique component. The TIBCO Domain Machine virtualizes the machine publishing so that component publishing can maintain state when the targeted engine is changed for whatever reason.

If for example, the target machine is restarted because of an OS update or a hardware change, you can restart the virtualized machine on different hardware using TLM.

When the TIBCO Domain Machine name is set, the component .ear or .JAR files are republished and they start on the new virtual machine hardware. BusinessWorks Applications that have been previously published through TIBCO Administrator or through the AppManage commandline interface are published again and restarted on the new hardware.

The configuration parameter is as described.

TIBCO Domain machine name
- To activate use of the TIBCO Domain Logical Machine Name enter a value in the TIBCO Domain machine name field. The TIBCO Domain machine name and can use alphanumeric characters, hyphen (-), or underscore (_) characters. Do not use other special characters, including period or comma. The name length must be less than 64 characters.

When the component is instantiated multiple times, the TLM machine name is: <Your_TLM_Name>_<ComponentInstanceNumber> , where the <ComponentInstanceNumber> is just a sequential incrementing integer.

Note: If the TIBCO Domain machine name field is left blank the component name is used for setting the domain machine name. When the component number is 0, the TLM machine name should be <Your_TLM_Name>

If runtime variable REMOVE_COMPONENT_INSTANCE_FROM_MACHINE_NAME is set to true, the TLM machine name does not add a suffix with the component instance number and the component scaling cannot be done.
