This section presents an overview of the installation process.
Installation and removal history is kept in log files in the
.TIBCO directory within the installer’s user (or
home) directory.
/import/home/<username>/.TIBCO
For example:
/import/home/joe/.TIBCO/maintenance_2012-05-24.122307
The folder names use this format:
For installations -
install_year-month-day.timeFor removal -
maintenance_year-month-day.time
The removal history files are written to a maintenance directory.
The installation log files record environment details such as the user that invoked the installer, hostname, operating system details, and so on.
The installer prompts you to specify the TIBCO home
(TIBCO_HOME) where you want to install
TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme
. Each TIBCO home is a separate environment. You can
install the same software into different environments safely, for
example, for test, QA, and staging purposes. You can install multiple
TIBCO products into the same environment or into different ones.
A TIBCO home has a name and a directory on disk. The directory is the root directory for all TIBCO products you want to install into this TIBCO home.
![[Warning]](images/warning.png) | |
When installing multiple TIBCO products into a single TIBCO Home, ensure that all the products are compatible. |
The default installation location is the
TIBCO_HOME where all TIBCO products are
installed. Typically, TIBCO_HOME is
/<myhome>/tibco,
where <myhome> is the home directory
of the user.
The default installation location is the
TIBCO_HOME where all TIBCO products are
installed. Typically, TIBCO_HOME is
c:\tibco.
The Start menu path to the executable files includes the environment as follows:
TIBCO_HOME
The name is also appended to the name of Windows services created by the installer.
Using the bundled Eclipse software is recommended. However, you can optionally use an existing Eclipse installation.
Here is another case for using an existing Eclipse installation. In some enterprises, users are given limited access to software, such as TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme . All users, however, require full rights to the Eclipse installation because certain files are written during normal use of TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme Studio. In this case you must install Eclipse separately, in areas where users have permission to write.
See the section called “Using an Existing Eclipse Installation”.
