Starting TIBCO Administrator on Windows

1. For launching TIBCO Administrator, first we need to start the administration server.

2. Two Windows services must be running for the server to be available. After creating an administration domain, these two services are installed and set to start automatically.

3. To start these services first time, traverse to Services dialog and find the TIBCO administration server for your domain.

4. Click on the start button for TIBCO Administrator and TIBCO Hawk Agent services.
5. You can also start the TIBCO Administrator and TIBCO Hawk Agent services through command prompt.

6. For Starting the Administration server, type the following command in command-line prompt:

-> cd <TIBCO Installation Path>\tibco\administrator\domain\<domain-name>\bin

-> tibcoadmin_<domain-name>.exe

7. Start the TIBCO Hawk Agent, which is used for TIBCO Administrator monitoring functions, by typing below command in command –line prompt:

-> cd <TIBCO Installation Path>\tibco\tra\domain\<domain-name>

-> hawkagent_<domain-name>.exe

INTRODUCTION TO EMS

JMS Overview:

1. Java message service (JMS) is a Java framework specification for messaging between applications.

2.  The Java framework specification was developed to provide equal messaging interface among enterprise applications.

3. Using a message service allows you to integrate the applications within an enterprise.

4. TIBCO Enterprise Message Service implements JMS and integrates support for connecting other message services, like TIBCO Rendezvous and TIBCO SmartSockets.

JMS Message Models:

1 - Point to Point (Queues)

2 - Publish and Subscribe (Topics)

3 – Multicast (Topics)

1- Point to Point (Queues):

• It has only one producer and only one consumer per message.
• The message producer sends message to the EMS queue, the message consumer retrieves the message from the EMS queue and sends acknowledgement that the message was received.
• More than one producer can send messages to the same queue and more than one consumer can retrieve messages from the same queue.

     Exclusive Property:

• If the queue is configured with exclusive then all the messages will be retrieved by the first consumer of that queue. By default the queue property is no – exclusive.
• Exclusive queues are useful only, if you want to send messages to only one application.

Overview of Administration

1. A TIBCO ActiveMatrix Business Works project has the following lifecycle:

i. Design

ii. Deploy

iii. Run

i. Design:

The design phase involves creating and testing the project using TIBCO designer. Below is the example screen shot for creating project:

Below is the example screen shot for testing the project:

ii. Deployment:

Enterprise Archive File (EAR file) will be created by using TIBCO designer for deploying an application. The EAR file contains the required resources for running the project.

.

After build an Archive file, it will create an EAR file in the specified location.

Using TIBCO Administrator GUI, deploy the application to the machine or machines where it will run.

iii. Run:

The TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process engine executes the process instances of the deployed application and TIBCO Administrator can be used to monitor and manage the process engine.
