How to create a domain and deploy Tibco application (.ear)

Here, I am going to explain how to create a domain by using Tibco Domain Utility and then deploy a Tibco application (.ear) file.

Domain Creation:

• Domain is a collection of hardware and software components that are used for business process integration.   
• The domain defines the TIBCO BusinessWorks environment.  
• Each domain must contain one and only one administration server. Each domain must have a unique domain name.  
• Each domain may contain one or more machines but no single machine can belong to multiple domains.  Each machine may have more than one type of software component (BusinessWorks process engine, ActiveEnterprise 4.2 Adapters, etc.) installed.  By definition, software components can only be deployed in the same domain that the machine belongs to.

Search Domain Utility and "Run as Administrator"

Select Category as Domain Configuration and select Create a new Administration Domain as shown below and click on Next

If want to delete any Domain which you have created before, then select Delete an Administration Domain.

Select Show Advanced check box and select messaging channel, I have selected TIBCO EMS and provide server URL as shown below and click on Test Connection.

But, in real-time you need to check with Tibco Admin / Infra team.

Click on Next and specify HTTP port

And, specify User Name and Password 

And, then specify DB Connection details as per your DataBase (MySQL, Oracle..etc) and then test the connection.

Administration related tables will be created in DB automatically. 

The tables count could be 70+ (based on your product version, this count would be vary)

Below listed services will be created and started automatically.

TIBCO Hawk Agent(ora_tibco) 

TIBCO Adminstration 5.11 (ora_tibco)

Note: TIBCO EMS Server - should be started before Domain Utility activity starts.

Search TIBCO Administrator from Windows and provide login credentials which you have created in Domain Creation.

Verify domain name  and port details..

That's all about Domain creation and of course relevant services are started successfully.
