Chapter 3 Installation on UNIX Platforms : Installation Prerequisites

Installation Prerequisites
Before starting the installation procedure, review the topics in this section to determine that your system meets the basic requirements and that you have the prerequisite software installed.
Product dependencies at install time are resolved at user level through the installation registry maintained at the user's home directory. See Installation History for more information.
The following is a list of prerequisites for installing the adapter on UNIX platforms.
Minimum Disk Space
This section lists the installer disk space requirements in the temporary area and in the user’s home directory.
Installer Disk Space Requirements in Temporary Area
The installer launcher first extracts a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in a temporary directory and uses this JVM to launch itself. The size of the extracted JVM differs from platform to platform.
On UNIX platforms, the following disk space is required in the temporary area:
If your system does not have sufficient free disk space in the above temporary area, you can still run the installer with a different temporary area by using the following option when starting the installer:
 
installation_package_name -is:tempdir /new_tmp
where the /new_tmp directory has sufficient free disk space.
Disk Space Requirement in User's Home Directory
On UNIX platforms, when a regular (non-root) user installs a TIBCO product, the installation registry (two VPD files) is maintained in the user's home directory. As more products are installed, entries are added into these VDP files.
The user's home directory must at least have 500 KB of free disk space.
Required TIBCO Products
Before you can install the adapter, you must install the TIBCO Runtime Agent. If you use the Typical TIBCO Runtime Agent installation, the TIBCO Runtime Agent installer places all of its libraries and other products required by the adapter into the TIBCO_HOME directory, which is the user's home directory.
During adapter installation, the adapter installer checks for the availability of all required products. If any are not available, the installer immediately exits. When all products are available, installation will proceed.
Supported Kenan/BP Application
Before proceeding to the adapter installation, ensure that you can connect to the target application.
The adapter works with the following:
