Running TIBCO Configuration Tool in GUI Mode

When you run TIBCO Configuration Tool in the GUI mode, you are prompted to select a configuration wizard. The wizard prompts you for information about that component.

1. Execute TIBCO_HOME/amx/<version>/bin/TIBCOConfigurationTool. Alternatively, you can also execute TIBCO_HOME/tct/<version>/bin/TIBCOConfigurationTool
   The TIBCO Configuration Folder dialog is displayed. The TIBCO configuration folder stores configuration data generated by TIBCO products. Configuration data can include sample scripts, session data, configured binaries, logs, and so on. The configuration folder is referred to as CONFIG_HOME.
2. Accept the default folder for CONFIG_HOME, type a folder name, or click Browse to select a folder, and click OK.
3. TIBCO Configuration Tool displays with links to the configuration wizards. The wizards the tool presents depend on the products currently installed in your environment.
