Configuring TIBCO ActiveSpaces for DataCollector, Version 5.1.1

This section describes the required configurations as well as the optional configurations available for TIBCO ActiveSpaces in the RTView Configuration Application.

Configuring Data Collection

Setting up connections for TIBCO ActiveSpaces is actually done in TIBCO FTL.

  • Navigate to the Solution Package Configuration > TIBCO FTL > CONNECTIONS tab.

  • Provide the full path to the directory containing the TIBCO FTL jar files in the Classpath field. Use forward slashes in path name. Enclose environment variables with %% (even on UNIX). This is required to connect to TIBCO FTL. For example:

/tibco/ftl/5.2/lib

or

  • Click the  icon in the Connections region.

The Add Connection dialog opens.
