The installer first extracts the bundled JVM into a temporary area and then uses it to launch itself. If for some reason, the JVM crashes, you could still run the installer using another JVM, preferably JVM 1.5.0 or higher. The syntax is:
TIBCOUniversalInstaller-<UNIX platform>.bin
The installer on UNIX must open an additional window, generally for graphics. It uses the DISPLAY environment variable to tell it on what computer to open the window. If the environment variable is not set, the installer will either wait or abort after displaying:
The DISPLAY variable must be set to the IP address or name of the computer (on which the installer graphics window are to be displayed), followed by a screen address, which can be :0.0 as shown in the following example:
For example, consider a scenario where you need to install TIBCO BusinessEvents on a remote HP-UX machine (named itaska). Because you have a Solaris 5.6 machine (named alaska) that has a video card and monitor installed, you can run an X-window application on it. So you decide to telnet to itaska from alaska.When you telnet to itaska, you will not get access to itaska's monitor and will be unable to display an X-window application. That is why you must set the DISPLAY variable, which instructs the X-server to redirect all windows to the computer set in the variable. Before doing so, the computer (specified in the DISPLAY variable) must give permissions to share its monitor.
If the original uninstall directory is in use at uninstall time, it cannot be removed by the installer program. The installer then creates a second uninstall directory for the second installation. To remove the second installation, you must run the uninstall program from the second uninstall directory. The original uninstall directory can also be manually removed, if empty.The installer calculates the disk space required in the product home location for the selected components. The calculation is done before the actual installation (copying of files to system) begins. The installer will proceed only if sufficient free disk space is available in product home location.However, if disk space is consumed by another process while the installer is copying the files, and if the required disk space is thereby reduced, the installer may fail and will then give a failure message.While performing installation, avoid running other processes that consume disk space in product home location.This happens only on HPUX 11.00 64 bit systems. It does not happen on HPUX 11.00 32 bit system and HPUX 11.11 (or 11.i) system.If your system is an HPUX 11.00 64 bit system and it does not have the patch, first install HPUX kernel patch PHKL_27282 and then proceed with the installation. Installation of patch PHKL_27282, will reboot your system.
