Chapter 3 Installation on UNIX : Installing on UNIX

Installing on UNIX
After unpacking the software and accepting the license agreement, you can choose to perform a typical install or custom install (full installer only).
Because you have already installed TIBCO products when you install TIBCO BusinessEvents, an installation home directory for all TIBCO products is established and must be used. The default installation home depends on who performs the installation:
For non-root users, the default installation directory is /myhome/tibco, where myhome is the home directory of the user.
TIBCO BusinessEvents installation must be performed by the same user who installed TIBCO Runtime Agent. (Dependency checking will not work correctly unless the same user installs all dependent products.)
Executable File Names
Executable file names for BusinessEvents vary by edition, version number, and platform. The documentation displays the executable file names using variables where needed:
Enterprise Suite: TIB_be-epe-simple_version_platform
or
Inference Edition: TIB_be-simple_version_platform
where:
version is the three-digit version number for this BusinessEvents release, for example, 3.0.1
platform is an abbreviated form of the hardware platform for which the executable is intended, for example, win_x86.
The executable file names for UNIX platforms are as follows:
Enterprise Suite
IBM AIX:  TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_aix52_power.bin
HP-UX PA-RISC:  TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_hpux111_hppa.bin
HP-UX Itanium:  TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_hpux112_ia64.bin
Linux:  TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_linux24gl23_x86.bin
Solaris 8:  TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_sol8_sparc.bin
Solaris 10:  TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_sol10_x86.bin
Inference Edition
IBM AIX:  TIB_be-simple_3.0.1_aix52_power.bin
HP-UX:  TIB_be-simple_3.0.1_hpux111_hppa.bin
HP-UX:  TIB_be-simple_3.0.1_hpux112_ia64.bin
Linux:  TIB_be-simple_3.0.1_linux24gl23_x86.bin
Solaris 8:  TIB_be-simple_3.0.1_sol8_sparc.bin
Solaris 10:  TIB_be-simple_3.0.1_sol10_x86.bin
Installation Modes
Use one of the following modes to install TIBCO BusinessEvents:
Install Using GUI Mode
GUI Mode allows you input values in panels. Type the following in a terminal window:
% ./TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_platform.bin
or
% ./TIB_be-simple_3.0.1_platform.bin
Install Using Console Mode
Console mode allows you to install the software in a non-windows environment. The installer prompts you for values. Type the following in a terminal window (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
 
% ./TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_platform.bin -is:javaconsole -console
When running in console mode, you can move through the installation process as described next:
 
Enter Key = Moves forward in the installer
2 = Goes back to previous screen
3 = Cancels the Wizard and exits the installation or uninstallation
4 = Redisplays the current screen
Install Using Silent Mode
Silent mode allows you to install the software without prompts. If you do not use a response file, default installation values are used. See next sections for details about generating and using a response file.
Type the following in a terminal window (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
 
% ./TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_platform.bin -is:javaconsole -silent
Install and Generate a Response File
You can generate a response file during installation which you can later use to run the installer with the selected values as default values (GUI mode and console mode) or as selected values (silent mode).
The response file does not record selections at the component level. It does record all other selections, for example, which products you plan to install.
To install and generate a response file using GUI mode, use the following (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
% ./TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_platform.bin -options-record responseFile
To install and generate a response file using console mode, use the following (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
% ./TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_platform.bin -is:javaconsole -options-record responseFile
Install Using a Response File
You can use a previously generated response file for installation. For non-silent modes, the response file determines the defaults that are presented. For silent mode, the response file determines what will be installed.
To install using GUI mode and a response file, use the following (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
 
% ./TIB_be-epe-simple_version_platform.bin -options responseFile
To install using silent mode and a response file, use the following (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
% ./TIB_be-epe-simple_version_platform.bin -silent -options responseFile
To install using Console mode and a response file, use the following (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
% ./TIB_be-epe-simple_version_platform.bin -is:javaconsole -console -options responseFile
