Appendix A Installation FAQs and Troubleshooting : Cannot Install the Adapter

Cannot Install the Adapter
On HP-UX and AIX platforms, even though the correct version of TIBCO Runtime Agent version is already installed on the system, installation of an adapter that depends on TIBCO Runtime Agent may fail in the dependency resolution.
The TIBCO product installer maintains the registry information in the vpd.properties.tibco.systemName file. The value for systemName is determined by InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(). However, the method getHostName(), returns different values based on the JRE versions used. For example, on AIX, JRE 1.3.1 returns only systemName, whereas JRE 1.4.2 returns systemName.domainName. Because of this, the installer is not able to load the correct registry file.
Resolution
On Unix platforms, the installer registry file vpd.properties.tibco.systemName is located in the user's home directory.
Case 1: If the vpd.properties.tibco.systemName file exists:
 
$ cd user's_home_directory
$ ln -s vpd.properties.tibco.systemName                     vpd.properties.tibco.systemName.domainName
For example:
$ cd ~
$ ln -s vpd.properties.tibco.upside vpd.properties.tibco.upside.tibco.com
where upside is systemName, and tibco.com is domainName
Case 2: If the vpd.properties.tibco.systemName.domainName file exists:
 
$ cd user's_home_directory
$ ln -s vpd.properties.tibco.systemName.domainName vpd.properties.tibco.systemName
For example:
 
$ cd ~
$ ln -s vpd.properties.tibco.upside.tibco.com vpd.properties.tibco.upside
where upside is systemName, and tibco.com is domainName.
