Chapter 1 Installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter Service Engine for PeopleSoft : Installation Overview

Installation Overview
This section provides an overview of the installer, the installation registry, and the additional software required before you can install TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter Service Engine for PeopleSoft.
Installation Modes
The following three installation modes are supported on all platforms.
GUI Mode
In GUI mode, the installer presents panels that allow you to make choices about product selection, product location, and so on.
To invoke the installer in GUI mode, double-click the executable.
Console Mode
Console mode allows you to run the installer from the command prompt or terminal window. This is useful if your machine does not have a GUI environment.
Silent Mode
Silent mode installs the product using either default settings or a response file that was saved during an earlier installation. Silent mode installs the product without prompting you for information.
Installer Account
The installer account information on different platforms is described below:
Microsoft Windows
You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter Service Engine for PeopleSoft is installed.
If you do not have administrator privileges, the installer exits. You must then log out of the system and log in as a user with the required privileges, or request your system administrator to assign the privileges to your account.
If you intend to install the product on a network drive, you must ensure that the account used for installation has permission to access the network drive.
On Microsoft Windows 2003, before you start the installation, ensure that the files, vpd.properties and vpd.properties.tibco.hostname, are available in the USER_HOME\Windows\ folder. If not, copy these files from C:\Windows\ to the USER_HOME\Windows\ directory.
UNIX
TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter Service Engine for PeopleSoft can be installed by any type of user:
A graphic environment such as CDE or XWindows is required to run the installer in GUI mode.
Installer Log File
The installer log file, tibco_universal_installer.timestamp.username_install.txt, is written to the User_Home/.TIBCO directory. For example, on Windows the installer log is written to the C:\Documents and Settings\user-name\.TIBCO directory. The installer log file captures the following information:
Disk Space
When a TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter Service Engine for PeopleSoft installation package is unpacked, it is extracted into a temporary folder. The installer requires up to 550 MB of free space to extract the package to a temporary folder.
Temporary Disk Space Required by the Installer
The installer requires at least 550 MB of free space in the temporary directory. On Microsoft Windows, the temporary directory location is %SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp.
If your system does not have sufficient disk space in the default temporary area, you can run the installer with a different temporary directory by using the following option when starting the installer:
-is:tempdir /new_temp
where /new_temp has sufficient free disk space.
The installer calculates the disk space required in the product home location for the selected components before the actual installation (the copying of files to the system) begins. The installer will proceed only if sufficient free disk space is available in the product home location.
If the disk space required is consumed by another process while the installer is copying the files, the disk space available can be reduced. In this case, the installer may fail and give a failure message.
While performing installation, it is recommended not to run other processes that consume disk space in the product home location.
System Memory
A minimum of 512 MB of physical memory is required.
