Using Multiple TIBCO Homes

Install multiple products, or multiple versions of the same product, in the same machine in separate TIBCO_HOME, so that all of them can function smoothly.

It is possible that certain versions of TIBCO software products installed on your computers may not work well together. You may also want to install multiple versions of the same product on the same machine, for example if you are testing the current release while using the prior release in production. To avoid any issues, one solution is to install each product version in its own TIBCO_HOME, under a common parent directory, for example called tibco.

In the following example, be_50, be_60, bw_59 and administrator_57 are all separate TIBCO homes:

tibco/
      be_50/
            be
      be_60/
            be
      bw_59/
            bw
      administrator_57/
            administrator
