TRA is Tibco Runtime Agent

It provide agent to star and stop all the TIBCO Applications.

It provides runtime environments to the tibco applications.

It also provides back ground Libraries which is used to provide a base platform to work with tibco applications.

When we install TRA what all the components we will get.

1) JRE ( Java runtime environment)

2) Rendevers (RV)

3) Hawk

4) Designer

5) TPCL

6) Libraries.

7) All the Uitilities specified below will be comming when we

1. Wat r d additional utilities?

1) Domain uitility

2) Build EAR Uitility

3) AppManager Uitility

4) Tra Modify Uitility

5) Obfuscate Uitility ( used to encrypte the passwords)

2. Why u install domain utility?

We get domain uitility when we install TRA.

3. How can u add EMS ?

By using domain Uitility . u need to give version , Exe file (tibemsd.ext ) , Config file (tibemsd.config)

4. wat is a domain?

Domain is a collection of Users , Machines and Applications.

5. Hw can u install ems instance in domain utility?

We can not create EMS instance using domain Uitility.

How to create separate or Multiple EMS Instance?

to set up a seperate instance please do this steps:

create a new directory e.g. new_instance

Copy the tibemsd.conf file from $TIBCO_HOME/ems/5.1/bin to your new

directory.

Edit the file and

set all path to your new directory

set the "listen" parameter to a port number not used on your machine

Then start $TIBCO_HOME/ems/5.1/bin/tibemsd -config

new_instance/tibemsd.conf

Background:

when you start tibemsd without any parameter it is the same as starting

with -config $TIBCO_HOME/ems/5.1/bin/tibemsd.conf.

6. Is der any limit to add machines?

I am not sure . it is there i guess . we can add at max 36 machines.

15. wat is d advantage of applications in multiple machines?You Can deploy in FT Mode

16. wat is fault tolerance?When the Primary server goes down the secondary server will come and start running. So there will be no down time for the applications deployed in FT Mode.17. hw do d communication in b/w machines happen in fault tolerance?By Using FT HeartBeat intervelWhat is an Activation Intervel ?

It is the time taken by the secondary application to become active.

FT Heartbeat interval time < Activation Interval.

18. once u deploy application in admin, hw can state will b getting in d admin successful?1) By checing the application logs.2) By logging in to domain and looking the status.

19. which service will update des values? hawk20. wat is hawk?Hawk is a Monitoring Tool used to moniter the applications deployed in the Domain.

21. assume one service is going down/I want service to b started again, hw?Buy using Hawk Rulebase (.hrb) you can write the rule to restart the application when it goes down.

22. hw can u point out (performance tuning) deployed application?By using Flow Limit , Max Jobs and Activation Limit.23. diff b/w flow limit n activation limit?If we enable activation Limit , Each job instance use the cache memory till the job complete( Go through document for better understanding c\tibco\tra\bw\5.6\doc\pdf\tibco-bw-admin.

24. I have an application deployed on d server I want to look at logs, wer can I look for logs?.\tibco\tra\domain\domain_name\applications\logs25. wat is home folderwhere all the tibco applications can be installed,26. apart frm tra files, wat files do u have?We can have Tra files , config files , .dat files.

27. assume tat I want to write some monitoring parameters to tat amber point??Amberpoint is an SOA management technology. The website www.amberpoint.com describes it. Amberpoint's governance technology is embedded in Tibco Active Matrix. what is amberpoint?what are the advantages and disadvantages in tibco? ( just for referce )

As i know the products of TIBCO that use amberpoint is Policy Manager & Policy Agent.

They provide Web Service governance function for users. For example, Proxy, LoadBalance, FaultTolerance, Route, Security & other policies. It's very easy to use, the Web Service and the policies are isolate, the developer can forcus the Web Service interface and the System Administrator can use the PM&PA manage the Web Services, add policies for them. Those policies all according the WS standard.

The disadvantages, in my opinion, is the performance. Becuase the PM&PA are using TOMCAT as it's appserver, maybe it's not good enough for some scenarios.

Trouble shooting?

Domain Configuration Category Does Not Display

On Microsoft Windows, if the Domain Configuration category does not display inTIBCO Domain Utility, do the following:

1.Using a text editor, open thedomainutility.trafile. The file is located in theTIBCO_TRA_HOME\binfolder.

2.Add the-DdebugCategories=trueproperty to the file.

3.Start TIBCO Domain Utility.

4.Open thedomainutility.logfile. By default, the file is located in theTIBCO_TRA_HOME\logsfolder.

If no product information is logged in the file, your Windows registry is verylikely corrupt and consequently no information about TIBCO products is available using TIBCO Installer APIs. The work around is to uninstall and reinstall all TIBCO products on the machine.

Hw to change a global variable?

a) to change a global variable for a server or a process??

1. in tibco administrator, click application management

Bridges are created between one destination and one or more other destinations of the same or of different types. That is, you can create a bridge from a topic to a queue or from a queue to a topic. You can also create a bridge between one destination and multiple destinations. For example, you can create a bridge from topic a.b to queue q.b and topic a.c.
