The Quick Start Guide will help you set up RTView DataServer for TIBCO with basic configuration. For further instructions and details on advanced configuration, refer to.....

Perform all the listed steps before getting started.

Before Getting Started

Install Java 1.8 (or newer). and know the installation directory path.
Download the RTViewDataServerTIBCO_xxxx.zip.
Have access to the correct full path to the directory containing the TIBCO .jar files for each of your solution packages.
Have access to the following info related to the connection settings for your solution packages:

Connection Type	Connection Settings
TIBCO ActiveMatrix	Connection Name, URL, and Username/Password
TIBCO ActiveSpaces	FTL connections
TIBCO ActiveSpaces2	Metaspace to be monitored, Domain Name, Space(s) to be monitored, Discovery URL, Listen URL, Security Token File, and Identity Password
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (EMSMON)	URLs for the EMS servers you want to monitor

TIBCO BusinessWorks (BWMON)	Either install the OSGi plugin in every AppSpace or enable the TIBCO Hawk MicroAgent in each AppSpace you want to monitor.
TIBCO BusinessWorks Version 5 (BWMON5)	BWMON5 monitoring must be done via TIBCO Hawk (enabled by default), but you also need to install the RTViewBWAgent plug-in microagent. If you enable JMX monitoring, you can have access to additional data such as CPU and Memory data. For BWSE engines, additional setup is needed to allow access to AMX Node data.
TIBCO Hawk connections (for BWMON and BWMON5)	Where Transport Type is EMS: Domain, Username/Password, and Agent(s). Where Transport Type is Rendezvous: Domain, Service, Network, Daemon, and Agent(s).
RTView Manager connections (BWMON5 only)	Name, Port, and Username/Password
TIBCO Adapters	Domain Name, Agent Name, and Method of Transport (EMS or Rendezvous)
TIBCO BusinessEvents	Engine Name, Host, TCP Port Number, BusinessEvents Engine Type, BusinessEvents Version for the engine, and Cluster Name where the engine resides.
TIBCO FTL	Primary URL for Connection, Failover URL for Connection, Number of Primary Cores, Number of Backup Cores, and Username/Password

If you are upgrading to a new version of the DataServer, review the Upgrade Steps..

Registration

For registration purposes, a temporary license key is generated when installing RTViewDataServerTIBCO.

This temporary key will enable you to run RTView on different machines and platforms.

To receive a permanent key, please follow the instructions/ contact support.....

Installing and Starting the RTView DataServer for TIBCO

Do not include spaces in the installation directory path. The start_server.sh, stop_server.sh and statuts_server.sh scripts will not function properly if spaces are included in the installation directory path.

~~Extract All (Windows)/unzip (UNIX/Linux)~~ Unzip the file to the directory of your choice. For UNIX/Linux, use unzip -a to unzip the file.

2. Open a command window and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to your Java Installation.

EXAMPLE

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/Java/jdk1.7.0 (UNIX/Linux)

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_201 (Windows)

Or, in Windows, you can set JAVA_HOME as an environment variable (in Control Panel > System >Advanced system settings), where it will then be used by all command windows when you double-click on a .bat file.

3. In the command window, navigate to the RTViewDataServerTIBCO directory and type:

start_server.bat (Windows)

./start_server.sh (UNIX/Linux)

Or, in Windows, you can double-click on the start_servers.bat file. For this to work, JAVA_HOME has to be set up in the System Environment Variables.

This script starts the Data Server on port 3278 with HTML Server (Eclipse Jetty, by default) on port 3270. If these ports conflict with other processes running on your system, you can change the first two digits of the ports by using -portprefix: and specifying the first two digits you want to use for the ports in the command line.

For example: start_server.bat -portprefix:44 (which would change the ports to 4478 for the Data Server and 4470 for HTML Server). If you want to save your port prefix, you can change the port prefix in the RTView Configuration Application ~~(see the next section),~~ or you can use -saveportprefix: command line argument (for example: start_server.bat -portprefix:44 -saveportprefix).

Configuring the Data Server

To create connections for the each of the solution packages using the RTView Configuration Application, you need to specify the directory path to your TIBCO .jar files:

Open a browser and type:

http://localhost:3270/rtvadmin

The Authentication required dialog displays.

2. Log in using rtvadmin/rtvadmin as the username/password.

The RTView Configuration Application displays.

3. Click RTView DataServer for TIBCO.

The RTView Configuration Application displays with the General tab open.

4. Under Solution Package Configuration, select the solution package you want to configure.

Configuration settings for the following solution packages:

TIBCO ActiveMatrix

TIBCO BusinessWorks – Contains configurations required for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Versions 5 and 6, TIBCO Hawk (for Versions 5 and 6), and RTView Manager (required for Version 5 if JMX is enabled).

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service

TIBCO FTL

Optionally, you can create a Historian Database Connection and configure the historian settings. See the link below for more information: Configuring the Historian Database (Optional)

Alerts are configured in RTView Central Server. Click the link below to view details, and see the RTView Enterprise Monitor Configuration Guide for more information.

Configuring Alerts

Connecting Your Data Server to Enterprise Monitor

To connect your data server to Enterprise Monitor (RTView Central):

Click Server Configuration > EM Integration.

The EM INTEGRATION tab displays.

2. Click the Integrate with Enterprise Monitor toggle.

Saving and Restarting Your Data Server

Once you have created all of your connections, click the SAVE button in the RTView Configuration Application.

2. Stop and restart the data server to make sure your changes have been saved

Either click the button (in the upper right-hand corner of the window).
Or type the following in your installation directory in the command window:

stop_server.bat (Windows)

./stop_server.sh (UNIX/Linux)

start_server.bat (Windows)

./start_server.sh (UNIX/Linux)

Verifying Your Setup

To verify your setup:

Open a browser, access the RTView Configuration Application for RTView Central Servers (Enterprise Monitor) using http://localhost:10070/rtview-central-rtvadmin, and log in using rtvadmin/rtvadmin as the username/password.

Your data server (TIBCO_Data_Server, for our example) displays in the list below RTView Central Servers.

You can edit your data server connections/configurations in the RTView Configuration Application for RTView Central (http://localhost:10070/rtview-central-rtvadmin) or in the RTView Configuration Application for the RTView DataServer for TIBCO deliverable (http://localhost:3270/rtvadmin).
