Creating a Domain

A domain is a logical grouping of a collection of Service Performance Manager servers in a fault tolerant mode and a collection of dashboard servers in a load-balanced mode. It is recommended that you create one domain per product. The changes made here affect the TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME/tibco/cfgmgmt/spmteagent/config/deploymentConfig.xml

1. Login to the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator. The default user name and password is admin.
2. Under Products, click the Service Performance Manager card.
   The Domain Management pane is displayed. If there is a domain defined in TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME/tibco/cfgmgmt/spmteagent/config/deploymentConfig.xml, it is displayed in the Domain Management pane. The health of the SPM Servers and Dashboards in the domain are displayed here.

3. From the Domain Management pane, click Create Domain.
4. In the Domain Name field, specify the domain name. The domain name should not have spaces or special characters such as @,#,*, & , and so on.
5. In the Dashboard Access URL, specify the Dashboard Access URL. The default dashboard access URL is obtained from the TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME/tibco/cfgmgmt/spmteagent/config/deploymentConfig.xml file. The dashboard access URL specified here is the load balancer URL.
   Caution: If there is only one dashboard access URL, ensure that you make that as the load balancer URL.
6. Click Engines.
7. For a particular machine, provide the following details:.
   1. Provide IP Address.
   2. Provide the SPM Instance and the SPM Instance URL.The URL of the SPM instance is obtained from TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME/tibco/cfgmgmt/spmteagent/config/deploymentConfig.xml.You can add multiple SPM Instances, but ensure that those instances are installed and available. When you are specifying the SPM Instance URL, ensure that they are JMX enabled and reachable.
   3. If you have more machines with SPM server instances, click Add Machine. Repeat the process of adding machines and SPM instances.
8. Click Dashboards.
   1. Provide IP Address.
   2. Provide the name of Dashboard Instance, JMX Connection URL, and the HTTP Access URL. You can find URL of the SPM Dashboard instance in TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME/tibco/cfgmgmt/spmteagent/config/deploymentConfig.xml. You can add multiple SPM Dashboard Instances, but ensure that those instances are installed and available.
   3. If you have more machines with SPM server instances, click Add Machine. Repeat the process of adding machines and SPM instances.
9. Click Save.
   The changes made here are reflected in TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME/tibco/cfgmgmt/spmteagent/config/deploymentConfig.xml.

   Note: If you are directly modifying the deploymentConfig.xml file, ensure that you restart the Admin agent. It is recommended that you do not directly modify the deploymentConfig.xml file.
