Main Functionalities

TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks provides the following main functionality:

  • Quickly set up BusinessWorks environments on multiple TIBCO Silver Fabric Engines.
  • Publish your BusinessWorks archives to run on TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks instances running on TIBCO Silver Fabric Engines. Scale those archives based on conditions you define.
  • Publish BusinessWorks projects onto this environment using traditional tools, such as the TIBCO Administrator User Interface or its command-line tools.
  • Define, set up, and publish a complete stack based on BusinessWorks projects onto a set of virtual or physical machines. These actions include installation of this software, creation of TIBCO Domain, starting up TIBCO Administrator server, and publishing of the BusinessWorks projects on one or multiple machines.
  • Publish stack of components that follow a set of recommended and supported TIBCO practices to implement fault tolerance, load balancing, software updates, and stack updates.
  • Leverage selected BusinessWorks metrics or selected BusinessWorks engine statistics to set thresholds for scaling and other actions. It scales up and down the number of BusinessWorks engines required to process the workload. Therefore, it provides elasticity and optimization of computing resources.
  • Create pools of TIBCO Domain Logical Machines (TLM) for scaling up and scaling down TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Engines, component archives.
  • Gather and report statistics from each ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ service instance deployed by TIBCO Silver® Fabric to support automated rule-based scaling from archive statistics.
  • Configure fast TLM restart for engines from shared drives. Planned TLM restarts are streamlined so that large numbers of applications with multiple archives can be restarted individually and more quickly.
