Chapter 1 Installation Overview : Installing Versions with Higher Version Numbers

Installing Versions with Higher Version Numbers
TIBCO products use a three-digit release number which makes it possible to specify major, minor, and service pack releases. For example, release 2.1.3 uses major version 2, minor version1, and service pack 3.
Product Dependency Checking During Installation
TIBCO Runtime Agent has dependencies on other TIBCO products. For example, Runtime Agent depends on TIBCO Rendezvous and TIBCO Hawk. These product dependencies are enforced and bound during installation. Install time binding is done by substituting the values of various tags (such as %TIBCO_HAWK_HOME%, %TIBCO_RV_HOME%) and updating properties in many properties files.
Since dependencies are enforced during installation, the installer can determine the version and location of all dependent products through the installation registry. Version and location information is then substituted in many properties files, typically *.tra files. Moreover, many properties such as tibco.env.CUSTOM_PALETTE_PATH, tibco.env.CUSTOM_CP_EXT and tibco.env.CUSTOM_PATH are also updated during installation. Enforcing dependency checking allows out-of-the-box product functionality.
