Installing TIBCO MDM (Simple Installation)

In Simple installation, the installer bundles, installs, and configures most of the required softwares. You need not worry about dependencies. Thus, it simplifies the installation process.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that your computer meets the system requirements to install TIBCO MDM for PostgreSQL. The system requirements are listed in the readme.txt file. All the software components are installed under $MQ_HOME. Ensure that you have at least 5 GB of disk space.
  • Install JDK 1.8.
  • Set the $JAVA_HOME environment variable.
  • Optional: Download the wildfly-10.1.0.Final.zip file from http://wildfly.org/downloads/
  • If you are installing in a Linux environment, ensure that you are a non ROOT user.
  • TIBCO MDM does not use the existing PostgreSQL instance. It re-installs and re-configures PostgreSQL. Ensure that you have stopped the current PostgreSQL instance, if running. Ensure that the default port 5432 is not in use.
  • Download TIBCO MDM from https://edelivery.tibco.com. The application is available as a ZIP file.
  • Extract contents of the ZIP file to a folder on your computer.
  • Search for the TIBCOUniversalInstaller application in the location where you have extracted the ZIP file.

Procedure

  1. Run the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.exe application. The TIBCO Universal Installer Welcome window is displayed.

  2. Review the information and click Next. The license agreement is displayed.

  3. Review the terms of the license agreement. If you agree with its terms, accept the license agreement and click Next.
  4. In the Installation Profile Selection window, do one of the following:

    1. Select Create a new TIBCO_HOME option. A TIBCO installation environment is used for software installations and consists of a Name and Directory. Products installed into different installation environments do not share components; therefore you can keep product installations completely isolated from each other.
      • Directory: Browse to the directory where product needs to be installed and provide a unique environment name. Ensure that you have write permission to this directory.
        Note: On Microsoft Windows, it is recommended that you do not install under C:\Program Files or any other directory which contains spaces in the name. The Simple installer does not recognize the path if the folder name contains a space.
      • Name: Specify the environment name.
    2. If you have previously installed a TIBCO product using the Universal Installer, you can select Use an existing TIBCO_HOME. By default, the installer detects the directory for your TIBCO_HOME and displays the path.
      Note: If you had installed the application earlier, the directory cannot be modified. For a new installation, the directory can be changed.
  5. Click Next. The Installation Profile Selection window is displayed. By default, the Typical installation profile is selected.

    1. If you select the Customize Installation check box, a list of components is enabled (Executable Image and Common Configuration).

    Click Next.
    Note: The specified port values must not be in use by other application.
  7. In the TIBCO MDM Common Config Location window, select the common configuration location and click Next.

    If you have selected the standard common configuration option, the default $MQ_HOME\common directory location is displayed. You can retain the location or change it by clicking Browse.
    Note: If you do not specify the common configuration location, Configurator does not start and you need to perform the manual configuration. For information, refer to Manually Configuring TIBCO MDM.

    1. Download the wildfly-10.1.0.Final.zip file by clicking the URL and save it to your local drive.
