Installation Overview

The TIBCO iProcess Technology Plug-ins installer can be used to perform tasks other than just to install new plug-ins on your system. When you invoke the installer program, you are presented with the following choices for the installation:

Figure 2: Installation Types

• New Installation - This is used to install new TIBCO iProcess Technology Plug-ins on your system.

Note that you can install multiple instances of TIBCO iProcess Technology Plug-ins. Each of the multiple plug-ins is associated with a different instance of TIBCO iProcess Engine. (One of the first steps in the installation procedure is to specify the TIBCO iProcess Engine that the new plug-in is to be associated with.)

• Re-install/Repair/Upgrade An Existing Installation - This type of installation is used in the following two scenarios:
— To “re-install/repair” an existing installation. This returns all of the configuration settings to their original values, for example, the values that were specified when the plug-ins were originally installed.

Note that a consequence of this selection is that if you had installed any patches or hotfixes since the previous major version was installed, the updates installed by the patches or hotfixes are lost.

— To “upgrade” the existing installation of TIBCO iProcess Technology Plug-ins. This is used if you had previously installed version 10.7, for instance, then want to upgrade to the current release. This type of installation presents the same dialogs as a new installation (when performing a GUI installation), although settings on the dialogs show the settings that were specified when the plug-ins were originally installed.

Note that if you are upgrading from a previous version you have to specify the path to the tibjmsadmin.jar file manually. See JMS Provider Details Dialog.

• Re-configure An Existing Installation - This type of installation allows you to change some of the configuration settings that were specified in an earlier installation. It basically presents the same dialog boxes as a new installation (when performing a GUI installation), allowing you to make changes.

Note that the re-configure option does not migrate the data contained in the iProcess database, nor does it reset nor recreate such data.

Note:

If you are installing iProcess Java Server Plug-in, and you select either “Re-install/Repair/Upgrade An Existing Installation” or “Re-configure An Existing Installation”, you might be asked to uninstall your existing iProcess Java Server Plug-in before proceeding.

If this situation arises, and you also have an iProcess Server Plug-in for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks and/or iProcess Decisions Plug-in installed, they must also be uninstalled, and they must be uninstalled in a specific order.

Make sure that you uninstall these products in the following order:

1. Uninstall TIBCO iProcess Decisions Plug-in. See TIBCO iProcess Decisions Plug-in Installation for more information.
2. Uninstall TIBCO iProcess Server Plug-in for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks and TIBCO iProcess Java Server Plug-in.

Run the iProcess Technology Plug-ins installation process to install the upgraded versions of TIBCO iProcess Server Plug-in for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks and TIBCO iProcess Java Server Plug-in. After upgrading, re-install iProcess Decisions Plug-in.
