Chapter 3 Installing on UNIX : Installing TIBCO Hawk ActiveMatrix Plug-in on UNIX

Installing TIBCO Hawk ActiveMatrix Plug-in on UNIX
Before you begin installation, close all open applications.
Installation Registry
The installer maintains an installation registry. The registry location depends on the platform. This section explains where the registry files are located.
If installation is performed by a regular user (non-root), the installation registry is maintained in the following files in the user's home directory:
 
USER_HOME/InstallShield/Universal/TIBCO/Gen1/_vpddb/_envInfo.xml
If installation is performed by super-user (root), the installation registry is maintained as follows:
On Linux, USER_HOME is /root.
Installation Packages
Copy the appropriate tar file from the download site or the CD and unpack it on your system. The following table lists the platform-specific installation packages, where <version_num> is the TIBCO Hawk ActiveMatrix Plug-in software release number.
 
TIB_hkam_<version_num>_sol10_x86.zip
TIB_hkam_<version_num>_hpux112_ia64.zip
Installation Modes
The installer allows you to install in different modes. Each mode is supported on all platforms.
Install Using GUI
GUI mode performs the installation in an interactive graphical interface. The installer prompts you for values specific to your environment.
To install, doubleclick the icon
TIBCOUniversalInstaller-sol-sparc.bin.
Install Using Console Mode
Console mode allows you to install the software from a UNIX terminal window. The installer prompts you for values. When installing in console mode you move through the installation process as shown:
 
Enter Key = Moves forward in the installer
2 = Returns to the previous screen
3 = Cancels the Wizard and exits the installation or uninstallation
4 = Redisplays the current screen
To install from a UNIX terminal window, type:
   TIBCOUniversalInstaller-sol-sparc.bin -is:javaconsole -console
Install in Silent Mode
The following procedure explains how to install a TIBCO Hawk ActiveMatrix Plug-in product in silent mode.
The TIBCOUniversalInstaller-hkam1x_<version>.silent file is packaged in the directory that contains the universal installer. You must edit the file with information for your environment before launching the silent installation. The file includes comments that describe the installation properties you can set.
While you can use the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-hkam1x_<version>.silent file, it is good practice to copy the file to a different name and edit that file for the silent install.
If errors occur during installation, they will be listed in the installation log file (see the User_Home/.TIBCO directory).

Copy the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-hkam1x_<version>.silent file and rename the copy.

TIBCOUniversalInstaller-sol-sparc.bin -is:silent -silent
If you are using the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file (rather than a copy), you need not supply the file name and can use this command line:
 
     TIBCOUniversalInstaller -silent
 
A line similar to the following is written to the installer log file when installation completes:
... Install, com.tibco.installer.util.TIBCOInstaller, dbg.Debug, Executing Event:::OnEndInstall
