Installation Environment

An installation environment isolates product installations. A product installed into one installation environment cannot access components in other installation environments.

An installation environment is the top level installation directory for TIBCO® products. An installation environment consists of the following properties:
  • Directory

    Identifies the directory into which the product is installed.

  • Name

    Identifies the name of the folder where the product is installed.

A plug-in must be installed into an existing installation environment where ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ is already installed. The installation environment of ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is referenced as TIBCO_HOME.

Example: On Microsoft Windows, the default value of TIBCO_HOME is C:\tibco. In this example, ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is installed as C:\tibco\bw\<version_number> and plug-ins are installed in the subdirectory C:\tibco\bw\palettes.
