Distributions

Distributions are compressed native products that are obtained separately from the containers for TIBCO Silver® Fabric Enabler for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™. Distributions are platform-specific, compressed archives of native TIBCO products and other compressed grid libraries. The TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Distribution for TIBCO Silver® Fabric is the product that is published to run TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks on TIBCO Silver Fabric engines.
Note: Distributions are made to support specific operating systems and bit sizes. Different platforms require different distributions.

Distributions must be downloaded separately from the specific product area of the download site. Get your distribution files from the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks area of the TIBCO download site: https://edelivery.tibco.com

Put distributions, grid libraries, into the same Silver Fabric directory as the enablers. Distributions are deployed to the Silver Fabric Engines according to the configurations set, using the enablers.
Note:

Distributions are dependent on platforms. Different platforms have different distributions.

You must put distributions and grid libraries into the same Silver Fabric directory as the enabler files. Distributions are deployed to the Silver Fabric Engines according to the configurations set in the component using the enabler.
