Installation Registry


The installer maintains an installation registry. The installation registry consists of two files prefixed with vpd, which stands for vital product database:

vpd.properties 
vpd.properties.tibco.systemName
Do not edit, modify, rename, move, or remove any of the registry vpd files.
 

The location of the registry files depends on the operating system platform and who performs the installation.

Microsoft Windows Platforms

TIBCO BusinessConnect Remote maintains the installation registry in the SystemRoot folder. The following files represent the installation registry:

%SystemRoot%\vpd.properties 
%SystemRoot%\vpd.properties.tibco.system_name 

Example:

C:\WINDOWS\vpd.properties 
C:\WINDOWS\vpd.properties.tibco.system_name 

Linux

Root User Account

If installation is performed by super-user (root), the installation registry files are stored in the following directories:

Regular User Account

If installation is performed by a regular user (non-root), the installation registry files are stored in the user's home directory:

user_home_directory/vpd.properties 
user_home_directory/vpd.properties.tibco.systemName 

Installation History

The installer creates an installation history file called TIBCOInstallationHistory.xml in the same directory that contains the installation registry files. Each time an installation or uninstallation is performed, entries are appended to the file. The file TIBCOInstallationHistory.xml therefore contains the record of all installation and uninstallation activities of all products, features and components.

Do not edit, modify, rename, move, or remove the TIBCOInstallationHistory.xml file.
