TIBCO Domain Utility: Common Errors While Creating a Domain

In TIBCO, You can create an administration domain using domain utility by going through the steps that I mentioned in my earlier post TIBCO Domain Utility: How to Create a new Administrator Domain–Step By Step Tutorial. In this post, I am going to share some common errors that one may come across while creating a TIBCO domain along with their solutions.

 

If you choose the option of storing domain information in database, you will be asked to specify the database driver and other database configurations while creating the domain. While creating domain using domain utility, I encountered following error in the database configuration step when I chose Oracle driver from the drivers list:

Java.Lang.ClassNotFoundException:oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver(thin):oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver(thin)

Solution to this problem is very easy. Simply copy ojdbc.jar file from your Oracle Installation lib folder and paste it to the following path:

TIBCO_HOME\tibco\tra\5.8\lib

 

Error: Failed to Open Services Control Manager

Error details:

I encountered this error at the final step of creating a TIBCO domain using domain utility. After getting this error, I get a domain creation success message but domain is not shown in the services and it doesn’t load in TIBCO administrator.

Solution:

This error occurs due to limited user rights. In order to avoid this error, run domain utility as administrator.

    Hello,

    Thanks for these wonderful tutorials and tips. I have downloaded the trial version of TIBCO and installed it on my system. However I’m getting error saying “failed to open properties file designer.tra” when I try to run the TIBCO designer.
    It would be great if you could help me on this issue.

    Thanks

      @charan : You make a copy of the .tra files and rename them as designer.hwd.tra

        HI VenuGopal,

        From your problem statement, I understood you are facing the issue with JDBC connection in Tibco Designer.
        you have to put the jar file in below path and these jar file you need to copy from your SQL developer installed folder.

        The path to paste the jar file:C:\tibco\tpcl\version\jdbc
        name of jar file like I have
        ojdbc5.jar
        ojdbc6.jar
        ojdbc6_g.jar

        after pasting the jar file in the above said path than try.

        I hope this will work for your issue.

      HI Suresh,
      As I can understand from your Problem statement, you have not started the Tibco Administrator and hawk agent service, because these 2 services mandatory in running state for opening the Tibco Admin Url, If you have the Windows operating system then go to Task Manager then Services, you will find 2 services like TIBCO Administrator 5.8 (Domain_name) and TIBCO Hawk Agent (Doamin_name) , these service need to start first then try to open the Tibco Administrator URL,
      If you are using the Linux Machine then for above two services follow the below path

      Tibco administrator service: Tibco_home\administraor\domain\domain_name\bin\tibcoadmin_domain_name.exe
      Hawk service : Tibco_home\tra\domain\domain_name\hawkagent_domain_name.exe

      the above service you will start on Linux machine like below

      nohup ./tibcoadmin_domain_name.exe &
      nohup ./hawkagent_domain_name.exe &

      (nohup and & These will keep services running in background)

      I hope this will help you to resolve your issue.
