Installation Requirements and Pre-Installation Tasks : Pre-installation Tasks

Pre-installation Tasks
Pre-installation tasks include customizing your environment for certain platforms. In a production environment, you must set up an external database before installation because the database included with the installation is supported only for development.
Configuring External Databases
During development, you can use the in-process HSQLDB database packaged with your ActiveMatrix installation. In a production environment, you must use an external database with your ActiveMatrix enterprise.
About this task 
If you are using an external database, you have to perform database-specific configuration before you can create runtime objects such as Administrator server or TIBCO Host instances.
Procedure 
1.
What to do next 
After installation, you have to use the TIBCO Configuration Tool to configure the third-party JDBC driver for your database.
Configuring Ant
The default setup of Ant might have an insufficient amount of memory available for running CLI scripts or configurations scripts from the TIBCO Configuration Tool. You can increase that value for your Windows or Linux system.
About this task 
Perform the following steps to ensure that Ant does not run out of memory when executing scripts.
Procedure 
1.
Windows Edit %USERPROFILE%\antrc_pre.bat and add following line:
set ANT_OPTS=-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=128m
UNIX Edit ~/.antrc and add the following line:
export ANT_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=128m"
2.
Confirm the value of ANT_OPTS before you execute scripts from the command prompt.
Configuring Red Hat Linux 6 and AIX 5.3 Platforms
Before installing, configuring, and running AIX 5.3 or running a Red Hat 6 32-bit product package on a 64-bit platform, you must install a number of additional 32-bit packages.
About this task 
You can use yum to install the packages. This example illustrates how to perform the task on Red Hat Linux 6.
Procedure 
1.
Mount a Red Hat 6 64-bit ISO file such as rhel-server-6.1-x86_64-dvd.iso.
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom rhel-server-6.1-x86_64-dvd.iso
2.
Back up the properties file /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo.
cp /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo.bak
3.
Edit the following properties in /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo.
baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
4.
yum install glibc.i686
yum install gtk2.i686
yum install PackageKit-gtk-module.i686
yum install libcanberra-gtk2.i686
yum install gtk2-engines.i686
yum install eclipse-swt* 
yum install libstdc++.so.5
5.
On AIX change the maximum allowable size of the ARG/ENV list. If you do not make this change, TIBCO Host instances cannot start. Open a terminal window and run the following command.
chdev -l sys0 -a ncargs=16
Configuring AIX Platforms
On AIX, change the maximum allowable size of the ARG/ENV list. If you do not make this change, TIBCO Host instances cannot start.
About this task 
If you want to use AIX 5.3, you must install a number of prerequisite packages. See Configuring Red Hat Linux 6 and AIX 5.3 Platforms.
Procedure 
1.
2.
Open a terminal window and run chdev -l sys0 -a ncargs=16.
Configuring the Maximum Number of Open Files on Linux Platforms
Your Linux platform default settings might have a limit on the maximum number of open files and file descriptors that is too low for the product you want to install. You can change this number by editing the limits.conf configuration file.
About this task 
On all Linux systems, the operating system controls the maximum number of open files and file descriptors. The threshold is typically too low and must be increased. The exact number depends on the features you select during installation and configuration and on the size of the workspace. In most cases, 10000 files is sufficient.
Procedure 
1.
Edit /etc/security/limits.conf and add the following line:
* hard nofile 10000
2.
Downloading Software Assemblies if No Internet Access is Available
If your machine will not be connected to the Internet during installation, you must download several software assemblies from the TIBCO download site before you start the installation process. Download the assemblies after you download and extract the installer, but before you run the installer.
Procedure 
1.
To streamline the process, save the software assemblies to the assemblies subdirectory of the temporary directory that you extracted the installer package in.
2.
To download the Hibernate software assembly, click TIB_assembly_tibco_com_tibco_tpcl_org_hibernate_feature_3.2.4.001_all html on the TIBCO download site.
assembly_tibco_com_tibco_tpcl_org_hibernate_feature_3.2.400.001.zip is downloaded to the location you select.
3.
In the following steps, OSplatform is one of linux24gl23_x86, linux24gl23_x86_64, sol10_x86, sol10_x86_64, linux26gl24_s390x, sol9_sparc_64, sol9_sparc.
