Upgrading TIBCO BusinessEvents
Standard Upgrade Procedures
Software from TIBCO uses three numbers to indicate whether the release is major, minor or a patch. For example, 5.0.0 indicates a major release, 5.1.0 indicates a minor release and 5.1.1 indicates a service pack release.
The installer for a service pack release performs an automatic upgrade. For example, the installer would automatically upgrade TIBCO BusinessEvents 5.1.0 to 5.1.1 by overwriting the contents of the 5.1 directory.
Installing Over the Same Version
Note that if you are reinstalling over the same version, if any files are currently locked (that is, in use), the installer marks the file for deletion in the install location. After installation if the installer prompts you to reboot your system, you must reboot before using the software.
