Chapter 1 Installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter Service Engine for Lotus Notes : 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 Lotus Notes.
Installation Types
Two installation types are available: Typical and Custom.
Installer Account
Microsoft Windows
You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter Service Engine for Lotus Notes 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 Lotus Notes can be installed by any type of user: regular (non-root) user and super-user (root).
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 Requirements
When a TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter Service Engine for Lotus Notes installation package is unpacked, it is extracted into a temporary folder.
Temporary Disk Space Required on Microsoft Windows Platforms
On Microsoft Windows platforms, the entire package is extracted into a temp folder, typically:
SystemDrive:\Temp, or
SystemDrive:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp.
The installer requires 60 MB of free space in the temp folder.
Temporary Disk Space Required on UNIX Platforms
On UNIX platforms, 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 temporary area specified, you can run the installer in a different temporary area by using the following option when starting the installer:
install_package_name.bin -is:tempdir /new_tmp
where /new_tmp has sufficient free disk space.
Disk Space Requirements 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 vpd files.
The user's home directory must at least have 500 KB of free disk space.
