Starting Automated Installation

To start the automated installation process of TIBCO MFT Command Center, you have to complete some necessary steps.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
  • A Java JDK must be installed. For more information, see Configuring Java on Windows or UNIX.
  • Unzip the MFT Command Center Distribution zip file into a directory. On Windows, we do not suggest installing TIBCO MFT Command Center in the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" directories. We suggest creating a directory and unzipping the files into that directory. For example: c:\MFTCC
  • Copy the JDBC driver jar file(s) into the database-lib directory, which is present in the Installation directory.
    • Make sure that you have copied the proper JDBC driver to the database-lib directory.
    • Make sure that only one JDBC driver is in the database-lib directory.
    • If using Java 11 or a later version, make sure that the JDBC driver supports Java 11.

    After you fix the JDBC driver, restart the installation.

  • If you execute TIBCO MFT Command Center on a UNIX environment, ensure that the install.sh script has the execute attribute.
  • If you are installing TIBCO MFT Command Center on one of the supported UNIX platforms and have uploaded the files needed for installing on UNIX, the default permissions must be set as follows: 
    cfcc.jar            -r-- r-- r--   444
CMAInstall.jar      -r-- r-- r--   444
connmgr.jar         -r-- r-- r--   444
EULA.txt            -r-- r-- r--   444
install-config.xml  -r-- r-- r--   444
installer.jar       -r-- r-- r--   444
install.sh          -r-x r-x r-x   555
log4j.properties    -r-- r-- r--   444
log4j-1.2.17.jar    -r-- r-- r--   444
server.jar          -r-- r-- r--   444

Procedure

  1. Type the following command on the command line to start the automated installation:
    • On Windows: install
    • On UNIX: ./install.sh 
                                    MFT Installer Release 8.2.1
                                (supports all 8.2 versions)

  2. Press Enter to display the End User License Agreement (EULA), and type yes to accept the license agreement.
    You can type s to skip to the end of the agreement.
  3. Press Enter to continue.

    If you have added the JAVA_HOME variable and set the PATH variable as instructed in Configuring Java on Windows or UNIX, the product will detect the version at this point. It is required that the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files must be installed before the TIBCO MFT Command Center installation if using an Oracle Java version prior to 8.u161. If they are not installed, the message shown as follows will be displayed and the installation stops. 

    In order to use 256 bit secure keys you must download the JCE Unlimited Strength
Jurisdiction Policy Files from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.htm
l. After downloading, place the files into C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\jre
\lib\security.
