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 will proceed 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 will then give a failure message.
While performing 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 SFTA_HOME.
System Memory Requirements
A minimum of 2 GB of physical memory is required.
Supported Platforms
Refer to the ReadMe file for the supported platforms, versions, and required patches.
Required and Optional Products
Table 2 lists the required and optional software products.
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.
Grid Libraries
The TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for TIBCO Administrator - Enterprise Edition installation consists of copying artifacts named Grid Libraries to the following TIBCO Silver Fabric broker directory:
SILVERFABRIC_HOME/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:
Enablers
Enablers are made for use with TIBCO Silver Fabric and the Enablers for this product are made to configure and control how TIBCO Administrator will be published to a Silver Fabric Engine. Enablers are configured using the TIBCO Silver Fabric Administration user interface to specify settings, installation, configuration, and deployment logic for TIBCO Administrator with TIBCO Silver® Fabric.
The following are the current versions of the enablers required:
Distributions
Distributions are compressed native products that are obtained separately from the TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for TIBCO Administrator - Enterprise Edition. Distributions must be downloaded separately from the specific product area of the download site.
Copy distributions grid libraries into the same Silver Fabric directory as the Enablers. Distributions are published to the Silver Fabric Engines according to the configurations set using the Enabler to create the Component.
The TIBCO Administrator Distribution for TIBCO Silver Fabric is used to publish and run TIBCO Administrator on a Silver Fabric Engine with a specifically supported operating system platform.
Required Product Distributions
For each platform type your implementations will target for publishing Components created using TIBCO Silver® Fabric Enabler for TIBCO Administrator- Enterprise Edition, you will require a platform specific set of the following TIBCO product distributions:
Table 3 shows distributions created for a Linux (x86) platform.
 
If you want to run the same Components and Stacks on a TIBCO Silver Fabric Cloud with multiple supported operating system platforms, you need to copy all the relevant distributions to the TIBCO Silver® Fabric Broker that manages it. Having extra unused distributions doesn’t hurt anything, but lacking required distributions will adversely affect functionality.
