Chapter 1 Installation Introduction : Installation Overview

Installation Overview
The TIBCO Universal Installer is used to install and uninstall TIBCO BusinessConnect SOAP Protocol.
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.
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 SOAP Protocol into an existing TIBCO_HOME where TIBCO BusinessConnect is already installed. On Microsoft Windows, the default value of TIBCO_HOME is C:\tibco.
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:
SOAP Runtime  This component includes a runtime engine for TIBCO BusinessConnect SOAP Protocol.
SOAP Documentation  This component is required for context sensitive help. The documentation of the product is installed in the TIBCO_HOME/bc/version_number/protocols/soap/doc directory.
SOAP Tools  This component includes the WSDL tool and a runtime engine for TIBCO BusinessConnect SOAP Protocol. The WSDL tool is installed in the TIBCO_HOME/bc/version_number/protocols/soap/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 when the product was installed, and a unique number used to identify this particular installation.
UNIX
$Home/.TIBCO/install_identifier
where identifier is the date when the product was installed, and a unique number used to identify this particular installation.
