The TIBCO product installer for older products maintains the registry information in the file vpd.properties.tibco.systemName. The value for
systemName is determined by
InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(). However, the method
getHostName(), returns different values based on the JRE versions used. For instance on AIX, JRE 1.3.1 returns only
systemName, whereas JRE 1.4.0 returns
systemName.
domainName. Because of this, the installer is not always able to load the correct registry file.
On Unix platforms, the installer registry file vpd.properties.tibco.systemName is located in the user's home directory.
