Chapter 1 Installation Introduction : Installation Overview

Installation Overview
The TIBCO Universal Installer is used to install and uninstall TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream.
Installation Modes
You can run the TIBCO Universal Installer in GUI, console, or silent mode. Each mode is supported on all platforms.
GUI Mode
In GUI mode, you can use the installation wizard to select a product, product location, and so on. To invoke the installer in GUI mode, double-click the executable.
Console Mode
In console mode, you can run the installer on the command line. This is useful if your machine does not have a GUI environment.
Silent Mode
In silent mode, the installer installs the product without prompting you for information. The installer uses either default or custom settings that are saved in a response file.
Installation Environment
An installation environment isolates product installations. A product installed into an installation environment does not access components in other installation environments.
An installation environment is the top-level installation directory for TIBCO products. An installation environment consists of the following properties:
Directory: identifies the name of the directory where the product is installed. This directory is referred to as TIBCO_HOME.
Name: identifies the installation environment. On Microsoft Windows, the name is a component of the path to the product shortcut in the Windows Start > All Programs menu.
You must install TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream into an existing TIBCO_HOME where TIBCO BusinessConnect is already installed. On Microsoft Windows, the default value of TIBCO_HOME is C:\tibco.
Installation Profiles
Two installation profiles are available: Typical or Documentation Only.
Typical  The Typical installation profile installs all the software for a specific profile.
Documentation Only  The Documentation Only installation profile installs the documentation.
To customize the profile feature settings, select the Customize Installation check box and use the feature tree on the right.
Installation Components
Different installation components associate with different functions. You can use the installer to select the components to be installed during the installation.
The following installation components are available for the product:
EDI Documentation  This component includes the TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream documentation. This component is required for context sensitive help. The documentation of the product is installed in the TIBCO_HOME/bc/version_number/protocols/tibedi/doc directory.
EDI Runtime  This component includes a runtime engine for TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream. This component does the actual work of passing and converting data to and from the vendor application.
EDI Tools  This component includes tools for TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream. The tools are installed in the TIBCO_HOME/bc/version_number/protocols/tibedi/tools directory.
Installer Log File
An installer log file is created during the installation that captures installation environment details, such as the user that invoked the installer, host name, operating system details, list of assemblies installed, and so on.
The location of the log file depends on the platform, as follows:
Microsoft Windows
User_Home\.TIBCO\install_identifier
where identifier is the date and time the product was installed, and a unique number used to identify this particular installation.
For example:
C:\Documents and Settings\franko\.TIBCO\install_2015-09-25.102908
UNIX
$Home/.TIBCO/install_identifier
where identifier is the date and time the product was installed, and a unique number used to identify this particular installation.
For example:
/home/user1/.TIBCO/install_2015-09-25.102908
