Installing the Adapter on Microsoft Windows

You can either download the adapter package or install the package from a CD. The installer prompts you to accept the license agreement, then to choose to perform a typical install or custom install.

•	A typical install has minimal prompts and installs standard components in default locations.

•	A custom install prompts you to choose which components of the product suite to install and installs only those components.

The installer checks your system for the installation home directory that was established when TIBCO Runtime Agent was installed. The adapter is installed under the installation home directory.

You must use the administrator account to install this product. If you do not have administrator privileges, the installer will exit. You must then log out of the system and log in as a user with the required privileges.

If installing from the network drive, make sure that the account used for installation has permission to access the network drive.

Supported Platforms

The following table lists the platform-specific installation packages where version_number is the Adapter release number. For example, the installation package name for TIBCO Adapter for Kenan/BP 6.0.0 on the Microsoft Windows 2003 platform is TIB_adkenan-suite_6.0.0_win_x86.exe.

Installing the Adapter on 2003 Terminal Server

There are two modes in the Windows Terminal Server: Execute and Install. Users are logged on by default in the Execute mode, which allows them to run applications. To install an adapter so that everyone can use it, log on as administrator in Install mode. When the adapter is installed in the Install mode, the installation registry is maintained in SystemDrive:\WINNT\.

Windows Terminal Server must be running in remote admin mode, not application sharing mode. The adapter is not supported if it is installed on a machine that is using Windows Terminal Server in the application sharing mode.

The best way to install the adapter on Windows Terminal Server is to use the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet. This automatically sets your mode to Install during the installation and then back to Execute afterwards. Alternatively, you can manually change your mode to Install before starting the installation by typing the following at a command prompt:

   C:\> change user /install

Change back to Execute mode after installation is complete by typing:

   C:\> change user /execute

To check your current mode, type the following:

   C :\> change user /query

Installing the Adapter on Microsoft Windows

You can use any of the following modes to install TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Kenan/BP on Microsoft Windows platforms:

•	Installing Using GUI Mode

•	Installing Using Console Mode

•	Installing Using Silent Mode

•	Installing Using a Response File (or a Template File)

Installing Using GUI Mode

GUI mode performs the installation in an interactive graphical interface. The installer prompts you for values specific to your environment. Execute the installation program by double clicking the executable file in the installation package.

Installing Using Console Mode

Console mode allows you to install the software from a console window. The installer prompts you for values. When installing in console mode you can move through the installation process as shown:

•	Enter Key = Moves forward in the installer

•	2 = Goes back to previous screen

•	3 = Cancels the Wizard and exits the installation or uninstallation

•	4 = Redisplays the current screen

Execute the installation program from a command window by typing the

installation_package_name -a -is:javaconsole -console

Installing Using Silent Mode

This mode installs the adapter in a command window without prompting you for any information during installation. It installs the adapter using default values. Execute the installation program from a command window by typing:

 

installation_package_name -a -silent

Installing Using a Response File (or a Template File)

When installing the adapter in the console mode, the installer prompts you for information during installation and saves your answers in a response file. The response file can be used during subsequent installations to create another instance using the same values as the original installation either with or without prompting for changes.

•	Generating a Response File

To install using Console mode and generate a response file, type the following in a command window:

        installation_package_name -s -a -is:javaconsole -console  -options-record responseFilepath

There is no space between -options and -record in the above command. The response file does not record selections at the component level. It does record all other selections, such as which products you installed.

•	Generating a Template File

You can generate a template file without installing the adapter. The template file is similar to a response file, but the values are not filled in. You can edit the template file to generate a response file.

To generate a template file, type the following at the command prompt:

installation_package_name -options-template templateFilePath

There is no space between -options and -template in the above command.

After generating a response or a template file, you can use it to install the adapter in silent mode or console mode.

•	In silent mode, you are not prompted during installation. The adapter is installed using the values in the response file. Type the following in a command window:

installation_package_name -s -a -is:silent -silent -options responseFilepath

•	In console mode, you are prompted for values during installation. The values in the response file are presented as suggested defaults. Type the following in a command window:

installation_package_name -a -options responseFilepath
