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 TIBCO products are installed. This directory is referred to as TIBCO_HOME. On Microsoft Windows, the default value of TIBCO_HOME is C:\tibco.

  • Name:

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

Note: You must install Hawk® Microagent for TIBCO FTL/TIBCO eFTL in an existing TIBCO_HOME where TIBCO Hawk is already installed.
