Hardware and Software Requirements

Specific platform, software, and enough system memory and disk space are required by the installation. Review these requirements before you start the installation.

Disk Space Requirement

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.

The installer requires space in the temporary directory before installation, and additional space in the temporary directory for running the installer. Ensure that sufficient space is available in the directory that you want to use as the installation environment (TIBCO_HOME).

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 might fail and 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 SFL_Enabler_HOME.

System Memory Requirements

A minimum of 2 GB of physical memory is required.

Supported Platforms

Before you run the installer, ensure that the appropriate platform is supported. See the readme file for information regarding supported operating system platforms, versions, and the required patches.

Required and Optional Software

Your system must meet the appropriate software requirements before you run the installer. See the readme file for supported products and versions.
