Creating Distribution Grid Libraries

TIBCO does not provide the full installation of the Tomcat software. You must create the distribution by using your own copy of Tomcat.

Prerequisites

These files are required for creating the distribution grid libraries:

Apache Tomcat Software: TIBCO does not provide the full installation of the Tomcat software to build the distribution. You must create the distribution by using your own copy of the Tomcat software downloaded from the Apache Tomcat website https://tomcat.apache.org/download-80.cgi .

grid-libray.xml file: Refer example Tomcat Distribution Grid-library.xml file for a sample grid-library.xml file.

To create a distribution grid library:

Create a temporary directory named tomcat-x.y.z-distribution-gridlib.
Download the full installation of the Tomcat software, and extract the .zip file into the temporary directory.
The extracted .zip file download of the Tomcat software contains a single directory with the name apache-tomcat-x.y.z. Rename this directory tomcat.
Create a grid-library.xml file by referring Example Tomcat Distribution Grid-library.xml File.
Put the grid-library.xml into the top level of the temporary directory.
The temporary directory now contains the grid-library.xml and a tomcat directory.
Create an archive of the temporary directory. It can be a .zip file archive, or a gzipped TAR archive. The archive should contain the grid-library.xml and tomcat directory at the top level, and not the temporary directory itself.
Ensure that you name the archive as tomcat-x.y.z-distribution-gridlib.zip or .tar.gz. This is the completed distribution grid library for installation on your broker.
