Chapter 4 Installation
The ports configured for the Work Presentation Component, TIBCO ActiveMatrix
Administrator (external HTTP port), and the Internal HTTP port, need to be
configured for load balancing across Machines 1 and 2.
If you are using the Internal LDAP Server provided with TIBCO ActiveMatrix
BPM, port 10801 will also need to be added to the load balancer. If you are using a
corporate or external LDAP, it should be configured in a highly available manner.
LDAP is key to the proper functioning of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM (you will not
be able to authenticate without it).
Replication
The approach taken to enable a highly available TIBCO ActiveMatrix
Administrator and BPM environment is replication. It is important to note that
while replication enables fault tolerance, it is a different concept than DR (Disaster
Recovery) or a distributed environment. All components are replicated across
multiple machines, thus enabling high-availability. It is also worth noting that this
configuration is deployed in an active-active fashion, that is, load may be
distributed between the various machines in the cluster, also offering a level of
scalability.
A distributed BPM environment is a technique in which logical nodes are
distributed to physical nodes to achieve horizontal scaling. For example, if
processing is important, you may wish to distribute the Process Manager
composite to multiple nodes, while Work Manager, for example, is distributed
only to a single node. The ability to scale only the components that are relevant to
the Business Process is the advantage of a distributed BPM environment.
