Configuring the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator Server

Assume that the location of the configuration folder selected during installation is TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME. The default configuration file tea.conf is available under <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME>\tibco\cfgmgmt\tea\conf.To customize the server configuration, you can add additional properties to this file.

You can modify the following properties:
Property Name Description Default Value
tea.http.port The HTTP port on which the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server listens to requests. 8777
tea.http.session.timeout The HTTP Session Timeout for the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server. 1800 seconds
tea.http.buffer-max-size The maximum buffer size (in bytes) of the requests and responses made by the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server. 52428800 bytes
tea.agents.ping-interval The time interval in which the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server pings each agent. 15000 ms
tea.auth.timeout The timeout value for fetching the user configuration during login. 60000 ms
tea.agents.request-timeout The timeout value for the requests made to the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server. 60000 ms
tea.shell.port The port number to connect to the SSH server hosted by the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server. 2222
tea.shell.timeout The time for which the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server waits for a response from the shell command. 15000 ms
tea.indexing.interval The time taken for the elements to become available on the server after registration 30000 ms
tea.server.instance.name When there are multiple instances of the server running, you can distinguish the instances by their instance name. The instance name appears under TIBCO Enterprise Administrator in the UI.
tea.storage.remote.enabled When set to true, the internal database is enabled for data sharing. true
tea.storage.remote.tcpPort Sets the port used by the internal database. 9092
tea.storage.remote.username Use this property only if you plan to use TIBCO Enterprise Administrator from a CONFIG_HOME different from the existing one.
tea.storage.remote.password This property is coupled with tea.storage.remote.username. Use this property only if you plan to use TIBCO Enterprise Administrator from a CONFIG_HOME different from the existing one.
tea.ext.hawk.enabled Set this property to true to enable Hawk server extension. false
tea.dev.developer-mode Set this property to true to start TIBCO Enterprise Administrator in the developer mode. false
tea.jvminfo.enabled Set this property to true view the JVM details on the server side. false
