Installation Overview

You can install the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in for SAP Ariba in any of the following ways:

  • You can install the plug-in by using TIBCO Universal Installer, which provides three installation modes.

  • You can install the plug-in from within TIBCO Business Studio™ using the public Update Site maintained by TIBCO or using a local update site managed by your organization.

  • You can install the plug-ins from within TIBCO Business Studio™ for BusinessWorks using the BusinessWorks Plug-ins Manager.

A plug-in must be installed into an existing installation environment where TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ is already installed. The installation environment of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is referenced as TIBCO_HOME. On Microsoft Windows, the default value of TIBCO_HOME is C:\Program Files\tibco\bw6.
Note: Ensure that you use the same method to install and uninstall the plug-in. For example, if you use an update site to install the plug-in, then use Eclipse Update Manager to uninstall the plug-in. Avoid using TIBCO Universal Installer to uninstall the plug-in that is installed by an update site, otherwise some problems might occur during the uninstallation.
