Administering the TIBCO EMS Server
To configure and administer TIBCO EMS, you need to do the following:
1. Start the EMS server
* 
On Unix platforms:
EMS server v10.3.0 has to be started using following command:
./tibemsd.sh
EMS server v5.1.4 has to be started using following command:
./tibemsd -config ../tibco/cfgmgmt/ems/data/tibemsd.conf"
EMS server prior to v5.1.4 has to be started using following command:
./tibemsd
Refer to the following chapters in the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service User Guide for more information:
Running the EMS Server
2. Start the EMS administration tool
3. Connect to the EMS server through the administration tool
* 
The EMS Server must be running for the administration tool to connect. If the EMS server is not running, the administration tool runs, but when you type the connect command, an error message appears because there is no server to connect to.
You can then configure TIBCO EMS using either one of the following two methods.
Using the administration tool
Using a text editor to make changes directly into a main configuration file (tibemsd.conf) or other TIBCO EMS configuration files
* 
Even though you could use either of these two methods, TIBCO recommends using the administration tool to configure EMS. For more information, see the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service User's Guide.
