Chapter 1 Installation Requirements and Guidelines : Required and Optional Products

Required and Optional Products
Depending on the tasks you wish to perform, the following third-party products and additional TIBCO products listed in this section can be used with TIBCO BusinessEvents.
 
When you upgrade TIBCO BusinessEvents, you must also upgrade all add-on products in use to the same version. Similarly, you cannot install a later version of an add-on onto an earlier version of TIBCO BusinessEvents. Add-ons must be at the same version as TIBCO BusinessEvents in order to work correctly.
Required and Optional Third-Party Products
TIBCO BusinessEvents provides JRE version 1.6.0, which is the required version.
DBMS for (Optional) Backing Store
For the optional backing store feature, the following DBMS software is supported:
Database driver ojdbc6.jar for use with Sun Java JRE 6 (Oracle Thin Driver only)
Using Oracle Coherence as Alternative Cache Provider
Only TIBCO BusinessEvents DataGrid is provided with TIBCO BusinessEvents. An Oracle Coherence cache provider option is available for customers who want to use their own licensed copy of Oracle Coherence software.
Use of Oracle Coherence Version 3.6 and above is supported.
Using an Existing Eclipse (or TIBCO Business Studio™) Installation
Using the bundled Eclipse software is recommended. However, you can optionally use an existing Eclipse installation. You can, for example, use the Eclipse installation provided with TIBCO Business Studio business modeling software. This option is not available with partial installers (commonly used for service pack releases). See Using an Existing Eclipse (or TIBCO Business Studio) Installation for details.
Using Copssh for TIBCO BusinessEvents Monitoring and Management
TIBCO BusinessEvents Monitoring and Management (MM) is a provided component. It is one of the options available for deployment, monitoring, and management. (If TIBCO Administrator is used in your environment, you can use it instead.)
Copssh is one of the options available to enable MM to perform remote start and deployment of TIBCO BusinessEvents engines running on Microsoft Windows.
Copssh versions 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 are supported.
Due to changes in the Copssh product, versions 4.0 and above do not work correctly with MM.
LDAP Support for Optional Authorization Features
You can optionally use authorization for TIBCO BusinessEvents Monitoring and Management, and also TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager and TIBCO BusinessEvents Views add-ons. You can use file-based or LDAP-based authorization mechanisms. Supported LDAP products are:
