Installation Overview

The TIBCO Universal Installer is used to install and uninstall TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for REST and JSON.

Installation Modes

You can run the TIBCO Universal Installer in the GUI, console, or silent mode. Each mode is supported on all platforms.

GUI Mode

In the GUI mode, you can use the installation wizard to select a product, product location, and so on.

Console Mode

In the console mode, you can run the installer on the command line. This is useful if your machine does not have a GUI environment.

Silent Mode

In the silent mode, the installer installs the product without prompting you for information. The installer uses either default or custom settings that are saved in a response file.

Installation Environment

An installation environment isolates product installations. A product installed into an installation environment does not 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 name of the directory where the product is installed. This directory is referred to as TIBCO_HOME.

•	Name: identifies the installation environment. On Microsoft Windows, the name is a component of the path to the product shortcut in the Windows Start > All Programs menu.

You must install IBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for REST and JSON into an existing TIBCO_HOME where TIBCO Rendezvous, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks, and TIBCO Runtime Agent are already installed. On Microsoft Windows, the default value of TIBCO_HOME is C:\tibco.

Installation Components

Different installation components associate with different functions. You can use the installer to select the components to be installed during the installation.

The following installation components are available for the product:

•	Runtime  This component does the actual work of passing and converting data to and from the vendor application.

•	Documentation  This component is required for context sensitive help. The documentation of the product is installed in the TIBCO_HOME\bw\plugins\restjson\doc directory.

Installer Log File

An installer log file is created during the installation that captures installation environment details, such as the user that invoked the installer, host name, operating system details, list of assemblies installed, and so on.

The location of the log file depends on the platform, as follows:

Microsoft Windows

User_Home\.TIBCO\install_identifier

where identifier is the date and time the product was installed, and a unique number used to identify this particular installation.

For example:

C:\Documents and Settings\franko\.TIBCO\install_03-02-2014.132827

UNIX

$Home/.TIBCO/install_identifier

where identifier is the date and time the product was installed, and a unique number used to identify this particular installation.

For example:

/home/user1/.TIBCO/install_03-02-2014.134908
