Prerequisites

Make sure that TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapters, ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x, and ActiveMatrix Adapter Framework are installed in the same TIBCO_HOME.

Note: The information in this section is specific to ActiveMatrix Adapter Framework installation and ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x for all supported use cases, other than adapter-to-plug-in migration. For information concerning ActiveMatrix Adapter Framework installation and adapter-to-plug-in migration use cases for both ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x and TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition, see Prerequisites for Adapter-to-Plugin Migration.

Before installing ActiveMatrix Adapter Framework, you have to install TIBCO Rendezvous and TIBCO Runtime Agent.

  1. Install the following TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapters according to your project requirements:
    • TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for SAP
    • TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Database
    • TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Files for Unix/Win
  2. Install ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x according to your project requirements.
    Note: Whether ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x is required depends on the installation profiles you select.
    • If you install ActiveMatrix Adapter Framework to configure adapters, you have to install the Adapter Framework component, and ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x is required.
    • If you install ActiveMatrix Adapter Framework to deploy and run EAR files of adapter projects by using a command line, you can only install the Adapter Administration component, and ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x is not required.
  3. Uninstall any earlier version of ActiveMatrix Adapter Framework before installing a new version. If any hotfixes exist, they must also be uninstalled.
