Chapter 2 Installing and Upgrading TIBCO ActiveMatrix Decisions : Installing or Upgrading on Windows

Installing or Upgrading on Windows
Install or upgrade ActiveMatrix Decisions in Windows using one of the following modes:
When the installation is complete, you must perform the post-installation or post-upgrade configuration as described in Post-Installation Configuration or Post-Upgrade Configuration, depending on whether it is a new installation or an upgrade from a previous version.
Installing in GUI Mode
1.
2.
3.
4.
On the Welcome dialog, click Next.
5.
Read through the license agreement, select I accept the terms of the license agreement, then click Next.
If you do not agree to the terms of the license agreement, click Cancel to exit from the installation process.
6.
On the TIBCO Installation Home dialog, select Use an existing TIBCO_HOME, choose the TIBCO_HOME in which you had previously installed ActiveMatrix BPM, then click Next.
7.
On the Installation Profile Selection dialog, select a profile in the left pane, or select the Customize Installation check box and check the appropriate check boxes next to the components in the right pane. The available profiles are:
Install Decisions Service & BPM Extension - This installs both the ActiveMatrix Decisions IT (ADEC IT) and the ActiveMatrix Decisions Task Extension Activity (DTEA).
Use this profile if you will be running BPM processes that use service tasks to call the decision service.
Install ActiveMatrix Decisions Service only - This installs only the ActiveMatrix Decisions IT (ADEC IT).
Use this profile if you will only be running decision services as web services.
For additional information about the components that can be installed, see Installation Overview.
8.
Click Next.
9.
On the Pre-Install Summary dialog, click Install.
10.
When the Post Install Summary dialog displays, click Finish to complete the installation process and close the installer window.
11.
Installing in Console Mode
Console mode allows you to install ActiveMatrix Decisions from a non-Windows environment. This mode presents a series of prompts that request the same information that you would enter on the dialogs presented in the GUI installation mode.
The basic command to run a console installation is:
<Installer> -console
where <Installer> is the name of the installer .exe file (on Windows) or .bin file (on UNIX).
To perform a console mode installation, follow these steps:
1.
For information about the login user, see Installer Account.
2.
For example:
   TIBCOUniverslaInstaller.exe -console
3.
Generally, the prompts in console mode expect you to enter a number to indicate your selection, then press Enter to submit that entry. Then you must enter a 0 (zero) and press Enter to finish that prompt and proceed to the next prompt.
If a value is shown in square brackets at the end of the prompt (for example, [0]), it signifies a default. Pressing Enter submits that value.
For additional information about possible responses to the prompts, refer to the chapter about the GUI installation on page 8.
4.
Installing in Silent Mode
A silent-mode installation installs ActiveMatrix Decisions without prompting you for information. The installer uses a file in which you’ve specified the installation parameters.
Silent Installation Parameter File
The ActiveMatrix Decisions installation package includes a silent installation parameter file in which you specify the installation parameters needed by the installer. It is named:
TIBCOUniversalInstaller-amx-dec_version.silent
where version is the version of ActiveMatrix Decisions that you are installing.
The silent installation parameter file contains the following parameters, some of which you must modify prior to installing in silent mode; others may or may not need to be modified, depending on your installation.
 
The root installation directory. This is the TIBCO_HOME directory in which ActiveMatrix BPM was installed, and subsequently, the root directory in which you are installing ActiveMatrix Decisions.
This must always be set to "false", as ActiveMatrix Decisions can only be installed into an existing ActiveMatrix BPM installation.
Specifies to use the installation profile in the selectedProfiles parameter (see below).
The first entry installs both the ActiveMatrix Decisions IT and the ActiveMatrix Decisions Task Extension Activity.1 (Note that the ampersand must be escaped as shown above.)
<entry key="selectedProfiles">2. Install ActiveMatrix Decisions Service only</entry>

1
No changes have been made to the ActiveMatrix Decisions Task Extension Activity since version 1.1.0. Therefore, if you are upgrading from version 1.1.0 or newer, there is no reason to install the ActiveMatrix Decisions Task Extension Activity. However, if you are upgrading from a version prior to 1.1.0, and you had previously installed the ActiveMatrix Decisions Task Extension Activity, you will need to upgrade it also.

Performing a Silent Installation
To perform a silent installation of ActiveMatrix Decisions:
1.
2.
   TIBCOUniversalInstaller -silent
The installation is performed silently.
An indication of a successful installation is an amx-dec directory under TIBCO_HOME. You can also look in the installer log file. For information about the location of the installer log file, see Installer Log File.
