Provisioning A TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect Cloud Agent

The Connect cloud agent facilitates communication between cloud-based data sources used by an app. It provides secure communications to TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect without requiring an on-premise presence.

A Connect cloud agent is required to communicate with both your source and target data, and with TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect in the cloud. Depending on your data, your Organization can have one or more Connect on-premise agents and one Connect cloud agent at the same time.

Note: Determining which agent type to select varies depending on the TIBCO Scribe® Online Connector being used and the location of the data being accessed, either on-premise or in the cloud.
  • The Connect on-premise agent can be used in apps with any Connection and with both cloud and local datastores.
  • The Connect cloud agent can only be used when all Connections in an app and associated datastores support the Connect cloud agent.

Refer to the documentation for the specific Connector for additional information. See the Table of Contents in the Connectors Guide for a list of TIBCO Scribe® Online Connectors.

Provision A Connect Cloud Agent

Note: Connect cloud agents are provisioned in the data center associated with the Organization selected in the banner. See TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect Data Centers.
Note: If scheduled maintenance is in progress and the software being deployed involves changes to the Agent, Agent installations are temporarily disabled and a message similar to the following is displayed:

    Note: You can only install one Connect cloud agent per Organization.

    After an agent is installed or provisioned, its status displays in the Agents page and the agent drop-down list in apps and Connections. Agents that are ready to use display with a green Running status .

You can now add Connections and configure your TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect apps. For more information, see Creating Or Editing An On Schedule App, Creating or Editing an On Event App, or Creating or Editing a Data Replication App.
