Installing TIBCO Product and Service Catalog

This section describes the installation and uninstallation of TIBCO Product and Service Catalog using TIBCO Universal Installer TIBCOUniversalInstaller-<os platform>.bin.

Procedure

  1. Set the environment variables JBOSS_HOME and NODE_ID.
  2. Set the JAVA_HOME variable to $TIBCO_HOME/tibcojre64/1.8.0.
    Note: tibcojre64/1.8.0 is visible after the installation of TIBCO Product and Service Catalog.
  3. Do not keep any $JAVA_HOME/bin in PATH before installation.
  4. Extract JDK 1.8.0 at a location such as, /tmp/jdk and set absolute path /tmp/jdk/bin in PATH environment variable.
  5. Remove the /tmp/jdk bin from PATH and set $JAVA_HOME/bin in PATH environment variable after installation.
  6. If the database is Oracle, set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME.
  7. If the database is Oracle, its services should be up and running as installation creates the seed data for TIBCO Product and Service Catalog.
  8. Copy the ECM.ear file of TIBCO MDM into MQ_HOME. The TIBCO MDM ECM.ear file can be copied from $MQ_HOME/customEAR if TIBCO MDM has been installed but not deployed to an application server. Otherwise, copy the TIBCO MDM ECM.ear file from the respective application server's deployment directory.
    Important: If you are installing TIBCO Product and Service Catalog for the first time, install and configure TIBCO MDM as per the documentation.

    TIBCO Product and Service Catalog is a TIBCO MDM plug in. TIBCO Universal Installer creates the TIBCO Product and Service Catalog directory and subdirectories in $AC_HOME.

    Note: The value of $AC_HOME is $MQ_HOME/plugins/ac/5.0.
