Cannot Install the Adapter

On HP-UX and AIX platforms, even though the correct version of TIBCO Runtime Agent is already installed on the system, installation of an adapter that depends on TIBCO Runtime Agent may fail in the dependency resolution.

The TIBCO product installer maintains the registry information in the vpd.properties.tibco.system_name file. The value for system_name is determined by InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(). However, the method getHostName()returns different values based on the JRE versions used. For example, on AIX, JRE 1.3.1 returns only system_name, whereas JRE 1.4.0 returns system_name.domain_name. Because of this, the installer is not able to load the correct registry file.

Resolution

On Unix platforms, the installer registry file vpd.properties.tibco.system_name is located in the user's home directory.

Case 1: If the vpd.properties.tibco.system_name file exists:

$ cd user's_home_directory

$ ln -s vpd.properties.tibco.system_name

vpd.properties.tibco.system_name.domain_name

For example:

$ cd ~

$ ln -s vpd.properties.tibco.upside

vpd.properties.tibco.upside.tibco.com

where upside is system_name, and tibco.com is domain_name

 

Case 2: If the vpd.properties.tibco.system_name.domain_name file exists:

$ cd user's_home_directory

$ ln -s vpd.properties.tibco.system_name.domain_name

vpd.properties.tibco.system_name

For example:

$ cd ~

$ ln -s vpd.properties.tibco.upside.tibco.com

vpd.properties.tibco.upside

where upside is system_name, and tibco.com is domain_name.
