Post Installation Tasks

On supported platforms, the installed TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme software contains everything needed to install stand-alone TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme nodes.

To use the TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme server install requires the following post installation steps:

  1. Set the SW_HOME environment variable to TIBCO_HOME/be-x/<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/be-x/<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 TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme installation is now ready to use. These steps need to be repeated on every machine that will host TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme nodes.

Next Steps

Please see the TIBCO BusinessEvents® Extreme Administration Guide for more details on starting and configuring nodes. The Required network ports section in the Administration Guide should also be reviewed to ensure that the required network ports are allowed through host firewalls.
