Post Installation Tasks

The installed ActiveSpaces® Transactions software contains everything needed to install stand-alone ActiveSpaces® Transactions nodes.

To use the ActiveSpaces® Transactions installation requires the following post installation steps:

  1. Set the SW_HOME environment variable to TIBCO_HOME/ast/<version>.

  2. Update the PATH environment variable to include the path to administrator.

For example:

#
#     Create a working directory in which to expand the product archive
#
mkdir -p /opt/install

#
#     Expand the product archive in the working directory
#
cd /opt/install
unzip <location of product archive>/TIB_*.zip

#
#    Run the installer
#
#    NOTE: -console argument runs the installer in console mode;
#    if no argument specified the GUI installer is run
#
./TIBCOUniversalInstaller-lnx-x86-64.bin -console

#
#    Export the required SW_HOME environmental variable for the command line tools
#    This needs to be done for every user that will be using the distribution.
#
#    NOTE: /opt/tibco-home is the TIBCO_HOME specified during the installation
#
#
export SW_HOME=/opt/tibco-home/ast/<version>

#
#     Update PATH to point to the location of the administrator command line tool.
#     This needs to be done for every user that will be using administrator.
#
export PATH=$SW_HOME/distrib/kabira/bin:$PATH

The ActiveSpaces® Transactions installation is now ready to use. These steps need to be repeated on every machine that will host ActiveSpaces® Transactions nodes.
