Installation Overview

This section gives an overview of the installer.

Installation Modes

Three installation modes are available: GUI, console, and silent.

GUI Mode

In the GUI mode, the installer presents panels that allow you to make choices about product selection, product location, and so on. To invoke the installer in GUI mode, double-click the executable.

Console Mode

Console mode allows you to run the installer from the command prompt or terminal window. This is useful if your machine does not have a GUI environment.

Silent Mode

Silent mode installs the product using either default or custom settings that are saved in a response file. Silent mode installs the product without prompting you for information.

Installation Profiles

Two installation profiles are available: BusinessConnect Services Plug-in or Customize Installation.

•	BusinessConnect Services Plug-in  The BusinessConnect Services Plug-in installation profile installs all the software for a specific profile.

•	Customize Installation  The Customize Installation profile allows you to select components.

Installation Components

The following installation components are available for the plug-in:

•	EZComm Documentation  Includes the TIBCO BusinessConnect Services Plug-in documentation. The documentation is installed in the EZCOMM_HOME\doc directory.

•	EZComm Runtime  Includes the runtime tools for TIBCO BusinessConnect Services Plug-in.

Installer Account

Before you can run the installer on your Windows or Linux system, you must log in as a user with appropriate permissions. The privileges differ for the different platforms.

Microsoft Windows

You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which this product is installed. If you do not have administrator privileges, the installer exits. You must then log out of the system and log in as a user with the required privileges, or request your system administrator to assign the privileges to your account.

If you intend to install the product on a network drive, ensure that the account used for installation has permission to access the network drive.

UNIX

Any user can install this product.

•	Regular user (non-root)

•	Super-user (root)

While installing this product on UNIX platforms, ensure that the same installer account is used to install all TIBCO products.

A graphic environment such as CDE or X Windows is required to run the installer in the GUI mode.

Installer Log File

The installer log file, tibco_universal_installer.username_install.log, is written to the .TIBCO/install_timestamp folder of the user’s home directory.

To change the location of the installer log file, specify the option -V logFile="myLogFile" when you run the installer.

The installer log file captures the following information:

•	Installation environment details, such as, user that invoked the installer, host name, Java home in the environment, operating system details, and so on.

•	List of assemblies installed.
