Installation Environment (TIBCO_HOME)

You install ActiveMatrix BPM into a new installation environment. An installation environment isolates product installations so that a product installed into one installation environment does not access components in another installation environment.

Note: You should install each ActiveMatrix BPM Developer Server configuration into a new, empty installation environment (separate from other ActiveMatrix BPM Developer Server configurations or other TIBCO products).

An installation environment consists of the following properties:

  • Directory - The directory into which the product is installed. This directory is referred to as TIBCO_HOME. The value depends on the operating system. For example, on Windows, the default value is:

    C:\Program Files\tibco\amx-bpm

  • Name - The identifier of the installation environment. On Microsoft Windows, the name is appended to the name of the Windows services created by the installer and is a component of the path to the product shortcut in the Windows Start menu.

You specify the installation environment when you run the installer.
