Chapter 2 Installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension : Installation on UNIX Systems

Installation on UNIX Systems
Your operating system must meet the minimum patch requirements listed in Table 4. See Installer Disk Space Requirements in Temporary Area for additional disk space requirements.
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Must be Installed Before TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension
Before you can install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension, you must install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks. If you choose the Typical option during installation, the installer places all libraries and other products required by TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension into the BW_HOME directory.
Installer Account
TIBCO 5.x products can be installed by a regular (non-root) user and super-user (root). Different users can install the same product at different locations.
Product dependencies at install time are resolved at user level through the installation registry maintained at user's home directory. See Installation Registry for more information.
Windows Environment
A window environment such as CDE (that is, X Windows) is required to run the installer in GUI mode. It is not required for a console installation.
Installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks on UNIX
After unpacking the software and accepting the license agreement, you can choose to perform a typical install or custom install.
If you are installing for the first time, you must specify the installation directory where the products in this product suite will be installed. The default installation directory depends on who performs the installation:
For non-root users, the default installation directory is /<myhome>/tibco, where <myhome> is the home directory of the user.
Use one of the following modes to install the software. The examples assume you are installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension on Solaris 2.7.
Install Using GUI Mode
GUI Mode allows you input values in panels. Type the following in a terminal window:
 
% ./TIB_bwbpel-simple_<version_num>_<platform>.bin
Install Using Console Mode
Console mode allows you to install the software in a non-windows environment. The installer prompts you for values. Type the following in a terminal window:
 
% ./TIB_bwbpel-simple_<version_num>_<platform>.bin -is:javaconsole -console
When running in console mode, you can move through the installation process as described next:
 
Enter Key = Moves forward in the installer
2 = Goes back to previous screen
3 = Cancels the Wizard and exits the installation or uninstallation
4 = Redisplays the current screen
Install Using Silent Mode with Default Values
Silent mode allows you to install the software without prompts using default values. Type the following in a terminal window:
 
% ./TIB_bwbpel-simple_<version_num>_<platform>.bin -silent
Install and Generate a Response File
You can generate a response file during installation which you can later use to invoke the installer with the selected values as default values (GUI mode) or as selected values (silent mode).
To install and generate a response file, type the following at the command prompt:
 
% ./TIB_bwbpel-simple_<version_num>_<platform>.bin -options -record
/<directoryPath>/<responseFile>
The response file does not record selections at the component level. It does record all other selections, for example, which products you wished to install.
Install Using a Response File
You can use a previously generated response file for installation. For non-silent modes, the response file determine the defaults that are presented. For silent mode, the response file determines what will be installed.
To install using a response file, type the following at the command prompt:
% ./TIB_bwbpel-simple_<version_num>_<platform>.bin -options /<directoryPath>/<responseFileName>
Combining Options
You can combine the different available options. For example, to install in silent mode using a response file, use:
% ./TIB_bwbpel-simple_<version_num>_<platform>.bin -silent -options <responseFileName>
To install using Console mode and generate a response file, use:
% ./TIB_bwbpel-simple_<version_num>_<platform>.bin -is:javaconsole -console -options-record <responseFileName>
Post Installation
All TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension users must have read, write, and execute permissions for the following directories:
 
$TIBCO_HOME/bw/<version_num>/bin
$TIBCO_HOME/bw/<version_num>/bin/logs
$TIBCO_HOME/tra/<version_num>/logs
For example, if TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension has been installed in /opt/tibco, the user who installed TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Extension should execute the following commands:
 
% chmod 777 /opt/tibco/bw/<version_num>/bin/
% chmod 777 /opt/tibco/bw/<version_num>/bin/logs
% chmod 777 /opt/tibco/tra/<version_num>/logs
In addition, the palettes directory ($TIBCO_HOME/bw/<version_num>/lib/palettes) must be writable by all users who will use TIBCO Designer. Users must have write permission for this directory to be able to use the Java activity's Compile button.
Alternatively, change the Java activity's compilation directory by changing the value of java.property.javaCode in the .tra file that is used to start TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks (designer.tra for the TIBCO Designer GUI or the appropriate .tra file for the engine if running from a deployment).
