Understanding Installation Profiles

Different installation components are associated with different functions. By using the installer, you can select the components during the installation.

During custom installation, you can choose to install the following Hawk components.

Installation Components

Component

Description

TIBCO Hawk 6.2 Components

When this profile is selected, all the TIBCO Hawk components are installed. The following components are installed:

TIBCO Hawk Agent
TIBCO Hawk Console
TIBCO Hawk Event Service
Cluster Manager
TIBCO Hawk Display (deprecated)
Hawk API Development kit to build Hawk MicroAgent, AMI, or the console application
Examples

TIBCO Hawk Admin Agent

When this profile is selected, the TIBCO Hawk Admin Agent is installed. Install the Agent after installing the TIBCO Hawk 6.2 components.

The Admin Agent is used to monitor and manage Hawk agents using the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server UI. For configuration details and how to use the Admin Agent to monitor and manage the Hawk agents, refer to TIBCO Hawk Admin Agent Guide.

NOTE:

If you are using a version of Hawk earlier than 5.2, upgrade to the latest version.
For successful installation, the Admin Agent component should be installed only in the existing TIBCO Hawk installation environment, and not in a new installation environment.
The Admin Agent interacts with the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server that is not shipped with this product. Ensure that you install TIBCO Enterprise Administrator separately.

The installation components are grouped into different installation profiles. One installation profile is associated with one or more installation components. When a profile is selected, the components that default to the selected profile are installed. By default, the TIBCO Hawk 6.2 Components installation profile is selected, therefore, all the Hawk components are installed. However, the installer allows you to customize the installation by explicitly selecting the components that you want to install.
