Chapter 2 Installation on Microsoft Windows Platforms : Installing the Adapter on Microsoft Windows

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.
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 the adapter from a network drive, make sure that the account used for installation has permission to access the network drive.
Supported Platforms and Disk Space
The following table lists the platform-specific installation packages, where version_number is the Adapter release number. For example, the installation package name for the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Tuxedo 6.0.0 on the Microsoft Windows 2003 platform using Tuxedo 6.5 is TIB_adtuxedo-suite_6.0.0_win_x86_tuxedo65.exe.

Installing the Adapter on Microsoft Windows 2003 Terminal Server
There are two modes in the Microsoft Windows Terminal Server: Execute and Install. You are logged on by default in the Execute mode, which allows you to run applications. To install an adapter so that everyone can use it, log on as administrator in the Install mode. When the adapter is installed in the Install mode, the installation registry is maintained in SystemDrive:\WINDOWS\.
Microsoft 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 Microsoft Windows Terminal Server in the application sharing mode.
The best way to install the adapter on Microsoft Windows Terminal Server is to use the Add and 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
To change back to Execute mode after installation, type the following:
   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 Tuxedo on Microsoft Windows platforms:
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:
Execute the installation program from a command window by typing:
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
This installation is performed in Console mode or in a command window. 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.
To install the adapter using Console mode and generate a response file, type the following in a command window:
installation_package_name -s -is:javaconsole -console -options-record responseFilepath
There is no space between -options and -record in the above command.
After generating a response file, you can use it to install the adapter in silent mode or interactive mode.
In silent mode, you are not prompted during installation. The adapter is installed using the values in the response file. For silent mode, type the following in a command window:
installation_package_name -s -is:silent -silent -options responseFilepath
In interactive mode, you are prompted for values during installation. The values in the response file are presented as suggested defaults. For interactive mode, type the following in a command window:
installation_package_name -options responseFilepath
