Installing in the GUI Mode

In the GUI mode, the installer prompts you for information regarding the installation environment, installation profile, and other installation information.

Prerequisites

Before installation, decide whether you want to run in local or server mode. TIBCO recommends server mode because you only need to install and maintain one copy only for all browsers.

To run in server mode, have your Apache Tomcat (referred to as Tomcat throughout the rest of this document) HTTP Server and Mainframe WebUI reside on a common server, and point your browser to the common server’s URL.

Procedure

  1. Open the physical media or download the package from the TIBCO eDelivery site (https://edelivery.tibco.com). You are required for a user name and password for downloading. If you do not receive a user name and password, contact TIBCO Technical Support.
  2. Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.
  3. Navigate to the temporary directory to which you extract the installation package.
  4. Run TIBCOUniversalInstaller.exe. Use one of the following ways to start the installation:
    • On Microsoft Windows, double-click TIBCOUniversalInstaller.exe.
    • On Linux, run TIBCOUniversalInstaller-platform_acronym.bin.
  5. In the Welcome dialog, click Next.
  6. In the License Agreement dialog, read through the license agreement and select I accept the terms of the license agreement. Click Next.
  7. In the TIBCO Installation Home dialog, do either of the following:
    • Click Create A New TIBCO_HOME to install the product into a new environment. Specify the following properties:
      • Directory: The directory into which the product is installed. Type a path or click Browse to specify the path or accept the default location.
      • Name: Identifies the installation environment.
    • Click Use An Existing TIBCO_HOME to install the product into an existing environment. Select the environment from the list. In this case, the product is installed into the TIBCO_HOME directory where TIBCO Rendezvous is installed.
  8. In the Installation Profile Selection dialog, select one installation profile to specify the installation component to be installed. Or select the Customize Installation check box to explicitly select the installation component. Click Next. See Installation Components for more details.
    Note: When you install Mainframe WebUI for the second time onwards without uninstalling the existing version, a warning is displayed after Step 8, TIBCO recommends you to click Yes on the Warning page to reinstall it.
  9. In the Mainframe WebUI Server Config dialog, do either of the following:
    • Click Yes, use the customized server on port 60080. > Next.
    • Click No, use the default server on port 8080. > Next.
    The TIBCO default port for Tomcat is 60080. The Tomcat default port is 8080.
  10. In the Mainframe WebUI Application Selection dialog, select one or both features to install and click Next.
    • Select the Substation Management check box to interface with the Substation ES Administration Interface and issue Substation ES operator commands.
    • Select the Mainframe Monitoring Using TIBCO Tracker check box to receive information from a TIBCO Mainframe Service Tracker instance.
    Note: The Substation Configuration check box, which enables you to configure Substation ES projects, is not supported in this release, hence the inactive selection.
  11. In the Pre-Install Summary dialog, review the list of products selected for installation. Click Install.
  12. In the Post Install Summary dialog, review the list of installation information. Click Finish to complete the installation process and exit the installer.
