TIBCO Administrator

Description

When using TIBCO Runtime Agent (TRA) 5.11.3 or 5.12.x, TIBCO Administrator is slow to start.
Users may have to wait for a long time to see the first line shows on the console. 
This could be caused by JarScanner in Tomcat 9. 

Issue/Introduction

How to resolve TIBCO Administrator starting slowness after upgrading to TRA 5.11.3 or 5.12.x

Environment

OS: all

Resolution


To workaround this, users can disable Jar Scanner by adding/modifying JarScanner to below in file $TIBCO_HOME/administrator/domain/domainname/tomcat/conf/context.xml
      <JarScanner scanManifest="false" scanBootstrapClassPath="false" scanClassPath="false" scanAllFiles="false" scanAllDirectories="false"/>
   
Users can also update $TIBCO_HOME/administrator/5.12/tomcat/conf/context.xml so that new domains will have this automatically.
