dynaTrace with Tibco BusinessWorks (in Designer)
I want to use dynaTrace in combination with Tibco BusinessWorks (BW). For development of BW-code the tool Designer is used. It is also possible to run the BW-code in Designer (Designer in test-mode). I want to try to run de BW-code in Designer and to monitor this with dynaTrace (free trial). Is this possible? If the answer is yes, how can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Peter-Paul Baarda
You should be able to enable the Dynatrace agent by setting java.extended.properties in the designer.tra file.
E.g.
java.extended.properties=-agentpath:<DT_HOME>/agent/lib/libdtagent.so=name=<agentname>,server=<serverhostname>
Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for your answer. This was the first thing I have tried, but Designer doesn't startup if I add the java.extended.properties to the designer.tra file.
Kind regards,
Peter-Paul
Sorry, forget my previous comment. I have used back-slashes instead of slashes. After I have changed this in the designer.tra file, it is working fine.
Thanks,
Peter-Paul
Thanks for keeping the forum up-to-date. And - great to hear you got it working 
Hi there
We want to monitor the Operations MBeans for Tibco BW. In conventional JMX we do see the Operations MBeans (see screenshot). But in dynaTrace we don't (small insert in screenshot). Will we be able to see the MBeans if we add this agent to the Tibco BW JVM's?

HI,
I'm intrumenting TIBCO application and I have tried below options
I have added DT string in designer.tra and bwengine.tra but agent is not getting hooked but when I added DT Agent string in individual app.tra file it worked.
Pls suggest if there any way if I change designer or bwengine tra file globally and all application started using bwengine should automatically get instrumented.
Kindly suggest.
Pls find attached tra files where i have added DT agent path.
