Setting the Required Environment Variables
You can set the required variables at the time of installation or at a later time before you run any Platform Server commands.
TIBCO MFT Platform Server requires correct configuration of the following environment variables. These variables must be set for all users who run
TIBCO MFT Platform Server. Use the
export
statements provided in the message at the end of the installation to set correct values for these variables.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
CFROOT | Used by TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX to locate the installation directory. |
PATH | Used by |
LD_LIBRARY_PATH | Used by lib files.
Note: For AIX system, you must set the
LIBPATH environment variable.
|
You can define these environment variables by using one of the following approaches:
- In the system profile: you can configure the default value for all users.
- In the user profile: the user profile value overrides the system profile and becomes the default option for the user.
- On the command line: the command line overrides the system profile and user profile.
For example, if you install TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX to the default location, configure your variables as follows:
export CFROOT=/mftps export PATH=$PATH:$CFROOT/bin export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CFROOT/libs
- If you are running on AIX system, set your
LIBPATH environment variable with the following command:
export LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:$CFROOT/libs
- If you are running other applications that use
libstdc++ and
libgcc files, do not run the
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CFROOT/libs
command, or add it to the system profile or user profile.
