Chapter 4 After Installing on UNIX : Configuration for 64-bit Mode

Configuration for 64-bit Mode
The following platforms allow you to run TIBCO BusinessEvents in 64-bit mode:
See Supported Platforms for versions supported.
Note that an additional step is required for the HP-UX Itanium platform, if you use JRE 6 (see HP-UX Itanium with JRE 6 (1.6.0)).
Before You Begin
Configure TIBCO Runtime Agent for 64-bit Mode
To use BusinessEvents in 64-bit mode, you must have TIBCO Runtime Agent configured for 64-bit mode. TIBCO Runtime Agent offers both 32-bit and 64-bit installers for Linux platforms.
However, TIBCO Runtime Agent only offers 32-bit installers for HP-UX and Solaris platforms. Running in 64-bit mode requires property-file modifications. See the TIBCO Runtime Agent Installation Guide for more information.
Verify that TIBCO Runtime Agent and other required TIBCO software is configured for 64-bit mode before you continue.
Back up Your TIBCO BusinessEvents Engine Files
Back up BusinessEvents engine and the Rules Management Server (RMS) files:
The RMS engine wrapper file, BE_HOME/rms/bin/be-rms
The RMS engine property file, BE_HOME/rms/bin/be-rms.tra
Configure for 64-bit Mode
To configure BusinessEvents for 64-bit mode you rename the provided 64 bit wrapper and configure the be-engine.tra and be-rms.tra files.
1.
Copy BE_HOME/bin/be-engine64 to BE_HOME/bin/be-engine.
2.
Copy BE_HOME/bin/be-rms64 to BE_HOME/rms/bin/be-rms.
3.
Open the be-engine.tra file and the be-rms.tra file for editing.
4.
In each file, in the tibco.env.STD_EXT_CP property, find %RV_HOME%/lib and replace it with %RV_HOME%/lib/tibrvj.jar.
5.
In each file, you also may want to increase the heap size and memory usage of the Java VM by changing the tibco.env.APP_ARGS and tibco.env.HEAP_SIZE properties. The following lines are example values for these properties:
   tibco.env.APP_ARGS=-d64 -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=52
   -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=90 -XX:GCTimeRatio=19
   tibco.env.HEAP_SIZE=2048M
6.
7.
Save the file. (Remember to update both the be-rms.tra and the be-engine.tra files.)
HP-UX Itanium with JRE 6 (1.6.0)
If you are using the HP-UX Itanium platform, and you are running BusinessEvents using JRE 6 (also known as 1.6.0), open the be-engine.tra file and remove the following entry from the property java.extended.properties property:
-javaagent:%BE_HOME%/lib/cep-instrumentation.jar
(If this property is present, the executable fails to launch.)
