Running the Server


In order to use TIBCO Enterprise Message Service with your applications, the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Server must be running. The server and the clients work together to implement TIBCO Enterprise Message Service. The server implements all types of message persistence; no messages are stored on the client side.

Starting the Server

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Server is located in the bin subdirectory of the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service installation directory.

  1. Navigate to the bin subdirectory
  2. Type tibemsd [options]

where options are described in Table 37. The command options to tibemsd are similar to the parameters you specify in tibemsd.conf, and the command options override any value specified in the parameters. See Table 18 for more information about configuration parameters and more information about each parameter.
