Chapter 1 Introduction : Installation Requirements

Installation Requirements
This section describes the disk space requirements, system memory requirements, software requirements, and supported platforms for this product.
Disk Space Requirements
Before installing this product, extract the contents of the installation archive to a temporary directory. The installer files consume up to 1.5 GB of disk space.
Temporary Disk Space Required by the Installer
The installer requires at least 2 GB of free space in the temporary directory. On Microsoft Windows, the temporary directory typically is:
%SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp.
If your system does not have sufficient disk space in the default temporary area, you can run the installer with a different temporary directory by using the following option when starting the installer:
-is:tempdir /new_temp
where /new_temp has sufficient free disk space.
The installer calculates the disk space required in the product home location for the selected components. The calculation is done before the actual installation (copying of files to the system) begins. The installer proceeds only if sufficient free disk space is available in the product home location.
However, if disk space is consumed by another process while the installer is copying the files, and if the required disk space is thereby reduced, the installer may fail and then give a failure message.
While performing the installation, avoid running other processes that consume disk space in the product home location.
Disk Space after Installation
This product can consume 2 GB of free space under SFSP_HOME.
System Memory Requirements
A minimum of 2 GB of physical memory is required.
Supported Platforms
Refer to the readme file for supported platforms, versions, and required patches.
Required and Optional Products
Table 2 lists the required and optional software products.

TIBCO Silver® Fabric
TIBCO® Adapter for SAP Distribution for TIBCO Silver Fabric
Required. TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for Adapter for SAP requires TIBCO® Adapter for SAP Distribution for TIBCO Silver® Fabric, which provides the runtime artifact of TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Adapter for SAP to be published and executed in TIBCO Silver Fabric.
For information about the connection of TIBCO Domain to a database, refer to TIBCO Administrator Application Component or Creating a Domain that Uses a Database in Domain Utility User’s Guide in TIBCO Runtime Agent documentation.
See the TIBCO® Adapter for SAP readme file for more information on the software required by the TIBCO® Silver Fabric Enabler for Adapter for SAP.
 
Grid Libraries
The TIBCO® Silver Fabric Enabler for Adapter for SAP installation consists of copying artifacts named grid libraries to the following TIBCO Silver Fabric broker directory:
SILVERFABRIC_HOME/fabric/webapps/livecluster/deploy/resources/gridlib/
For example, on a Linux platform, the directory is:
/opt/tibco/fabric/webapps/livecluster/deploy/resources/gridlib/
The grid libraries can be divided into two groups:
Containers
Containers are made for use with TIBCO Silver Fabric and the containers for this product are made to configure and control how TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Adapter for SAP component is published to a Silver Fabric engine. Containers are configured using the TIBCO Silver Fabric Administration Tool interface to specify settings, installation, configuration, and publishing logic for TIBCO® Silver Fabric Enabler for Adapter for SAP.
The following enabler files are installed into the SFSP_HOME/3.0/gridlib directory. These files must be copied to the TIBCO Silver Fabric Broker gridlib directory.
Distributions
Distributions are compressed native products that are obtained separately from the enablers for TIBCO® Silver Fabric Enabler for Adapter for SAP containers. Distributions must be downloaded separately from the parent product area of the download site. To be more specific, the TIBCO® Silver Fabric Enabler for Adapter for SAP is in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for SAP area of the TIBCO product download site.
Distribution grid libraries are put into the same Silver Fabric directory as the containers. Distributions are published to the Silver Fabric engines according to the configurations set using the containers.
The TIBCO® Silver Fabric Enabler for Adapter for SAP is used to publish and run TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Adapter for SAP on the Silver Fabric engine.
For each platform, the distribution for TIBCO® Silver Fabric Enabler for Adapter for SAP requires the following four distributions:
TIBCO® Adapter for SAP Distribution for TIBCO Silver® Fabric
TIBCO Rendezvous® distribution
TIBCO Hawk® distribution
TIBCO Runtime Agent distribution
Table 3 shows distributions provided for a Linux (x86 64-bit) platform.

If you want to run the same TIBCO Silver® Fabric Cloud with all supported platforms, you must copy all the distributions to the TIBCO Silver® Fabric Cloud.
