Registering TEA Agent for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™

The TEA Agent for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ auto-registers itself with the TEA server. However, there may be circumstances, when you have to explicitly register the agent.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the TEA server and the TEA agent for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ are running.

Procedure

  1. Login to TIBCO Enterprise Administrator. The default username and the password is admin. The landing page is displayed.
  2. Click the Agents card on the right.
    The Agent Management Pane is displayed.
  3. Select the TEA Agent for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ and click Register New.
  4. Provide the following details:
    • Agent Name
    • Agent URL
    • Agent Description
    Caution: When registering agents, ensure that the agent IDs do not collide.
  5. Click Register.
    The TEA Agent for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ is visible in the Agent Management pane. The landing page also shows an icon for every registered agent. Your landing page will look different from the one displayed depending on the agents registered.
    Caution: Some things to watch out for:
    1. Ensure that you avoid registering two agents with the same IDs. The TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server does not validate whether two agents have registered with the same ID.

    2. If there are two agents for the same object type, ensure that they have the same operation name and number. This is to ensure that when you invoke an operation, you can select the agent on which you want to execute the operation from the drop-down list.
    3. If the agent is not immediately visible in the pane, try refreshing the browser.
    4. If the URL used during registration is invalid, the 404-Page not Found error occurs.
