While performing TIBCO BusinessEvents upgrade from BE 5.3.x to BE 5.6.x and copying the BE TEA Agent repository (BE_HOME/teagent/repo) from BE 5.3.x home to to 5.6.x home, new deployments are available in BE 5.6 (TEA GUI), but they are still pointing to older 5.3.x BE_HOME.

 

How to update BE_HOME in BE TEA Agent using python deployment scripts

TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Edition 5.x All Operating Systems

One can update BE_HOME for a deployed instance, but it's required to update CDD and ear file first.
The deployment script checks the version of ear and CDD file. The script returns an error when files created with a different version as configured BE_HOME (-bh parameter).

Here are the steps required to update BE_HOME in BE TEA Agent using python deployment scripts

1.)Upload new CDD and ear file (BE 5.6.x version)

python configurationMgmt.py -t "urlTeaServer" -u <user> -p <password> editdeployment -d <appname> -c "CDDFile" -e "earFile"

e.g.
python configurationMgmt.py -t "http://localhost:8777" -u admin -p admin editdeployment -d fd530 -c "D:/tibco_BE56test/be/5.6/examples/standard/FraudDetection/FraudDetection/fd.cdd" -e "D:/tibco_BE56test/be/5.6/examples/standard/FraudDetection/fd.ear"

2.) Update BE_HOME for each deployed instance

python configurationMgmt.py -t "urlTeaServer" -u <user> -p <password> editinstance -d <appname> -i "<instanceName>" -u <processUnit> -m <machineName> -bh "<BEHOME>"

e.g.
python configurationMgmt.py -t "http://localhost:8777" -u admin -p admin editinstance -d fd530 -i "ia1" -u default -m nbSupport -bh "D:\tibco_BE56test\be\5.6"


Note : The error "Invalid BE Home" is reported when the ear and CDD file deployed for the instance do not match the version configured by BE_HOME or BE_HOME not available in the machine settings.
To validate this open the TEA GUI in browser and check BE_HOME settings of the machine (must include /opt/tibco/be/be/5.6, if not add the missing BE_HOME -> discovery).
