Shutdown Dependency - Because TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator does not support the Fault Tolerant mode this setting will not apply.
Ordered Shutdown provides for a logical, sequential shutdown so that dependent Components are shut down first. Ordered shutdown is especially important when the domain is hosted on a dependent database. When you have an ActiveMatrix Administrative Component that uses an external database, order of shutdown is less important.
Restart Component for new rules - If new rules are defined for a Component that has already been published, it must be restarted for the new changes to be applied. If you wish to manually restart Components later to propagate changes leave this box unchecked.
If the ActiveMatrix Administrator Component was configured to "Use dependent EMS server" then that dependency must be set here as well.
When using a dependent TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ server, the dependency should be set in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator Component, which must also have a dependency on TIBCO EMS Server Component.
Pack by Host - Check this to specify that dependent components must run on the same host.
The TIBCO Silver Fabric User’s Guide has more information on all of these settings.
