TIBCO BPM Enterprise (formerly TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM) All versions

Description

This issue affects all currently supported BPM versions, but is only significant to systems installed using "Developer Server" profile in TUI.

tct console launches TIBCOConfigurationTool without correct wizard profile, causing TCT to offer all wizards except the one needed for "Developer Server"
​
Various workarounds for this issue are detailed below.

Environment

"Developer Server" installation profile only

Resolution

  • Workaround 1:  Omit the console argument when launching tct
This will launch TIBCOConfigurationTool in GUI mode, using the correct wizard profile.
Note: This is unsuitable if no graphical desktop environment is available, e.g. on a headless server
  • Workaround 2:  Launch TCT directly, with the correct wizard profile
Windows:> CD TIBCO_HOME\tct\1.4 & .\TIBCOConfigurationToolc -consoleMode -groupFile ..\..\bpm\V.n\bin\grouping-devserv-tct-wizards.xml

Linux:$ cd TIBCO_HOME/tct/1.4 && ./TIBCOConfigurationTool -consoleMode -groupFile ../../bpm/V.n/bin/grouping-devserv-tct-wizards.xml
 
  • Workaround 3:  Manually patch the tct launch script
 
(Windows) TIBCO_HOME\bpm\V.n\bin\tct.bat
Add the -groupFile argument in the :console section near the end:
:console
%TCTC_BIN% -consoleMode -groupFile %TCT_GROUP_FILE%

(Linux) TIBCO_HOME/bpm/V.n/bin/tct
Add the -groupFile argument in the console) case near the end:
console)
        $TCT_BIN -consoleMode -groupFile "$TCT_GROUP_FILE"

Adjust any paths to suit your BPM installation location (TIBCO_HOME) & version (V.n)
