Installing in GUI Mode

When you run the installer in the GUI mode, the installer prompts you for information about the installation environment, and other customizations.

Procedure

  1. Open the physical media or download the package.
  2. Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.
  3. Navigate to the temporary directory.
  4. Run TIBCOUniversalInstaller. You can do so in one of the following ways:
    • Double-click the installer icon.
    • On the command prompt, provide the absolute path of the installer file without specifying any options. The installer defaults to the GUI mode.
    1. On the Welcome dialog, click the Next button. Read through the license text when the License Agreement dialog appears, select the I Accept The Terms of The License Agreement radio button, and then click the Next button.
  5. In the TIBCO Installation Home dialog, select an installation environment.

    An installation environment isolates product installations. A product installed into an installation environment does not access components in other installation environments. An installation environment consists of a name and path. You can specify a new environment or an existing environment.

    • Create A New TIBCO_HOME: To install the product into a new installation environment, specify the following properties:
      Directory
      The directory into which the product is installed. Type a path or click Browse to specify the path or accept the default location.

      The path cannot contain special characters such as "*", "#", "?", ">", "<", "%", "&", "$", "`", or "|". The path cannot be the same as the path of an existing environment.

      Name
      Identifies the installation environment. The name cannot contain special characters such as "*", "?", ">", "<", ":", "|", "/", "\", or quotation marks(").

      The name is appended to the name of the Windows services created by the installer. It is a component of the path to the product in the Windows Start > All Programs menu.

      Note: If you install TIBCO Enterprise Message Service after installing Service Performance Manager, ensure that the EMS_HOME property points to the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service installation directory in various configuration files and startup scripts. See Setting EMS_HOME.
    • Use An Existing TIBCO_HOME: To install the product into an existing installation environment, select the environment from the drop-down list.

      In this case, select Use An Existing TIBCO_HOME to install this product into the TIBCO_HOME directory where the TIBCO products are installed.

      Click the Next button.

  6. By default, TIBCO Universal Installer selects the Typical installation profile.

    To customize the profile feature settings, select the Customize Installation check box and use the feature tree on the right. Click the Next button.

    Installation Profile Description
    TIBCO Service Performance Manager Select this profile to install the following components:
    1. Client
    2. Server
    3. TIBCO ActiveMatrix Dashboard: is primarily used by TIBCO ActiveMatrix to monitor TIBCO ActiveMatrix assets.
    4. TIBCO SPM Dashboard: is a dashboard provided by Service Performance Manager. This is especially useful when you interact with TIBCO Enterprise Administrator using an agent or when you want to build your custom dashboards.
    5. Adapter for TIBCO StreamBase LiveView: is used to interact with TIBCO StreamBase LiveView, which is a plug-in to TIBCO Service Performance Manager.
    Admin Agent Select this profile if you want the Service Performance Manager to be exposed to the TIBCO® Enterprise Administrator. The installs an Admin Agent Runtime. If you are using custom installation, ensure that TIBCO Service Performance Manager is one of the profiles you have selected. If you are using an older version of Service Performance Manager, upgrade to the current version. This version of the release ships the TIBCO SPM Dashboard that is used by the Admin agent.
    Caution: The Admin agent interacts with the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server that is not shipped with this product. Ensure that you install TIBCO Enterprise Administrator separately.
    ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5 Agent Select this profile if you want to use an agent to interact with TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™. If you do not have Service Performance Manager installed, ensure that it is one of the profiles selected when you are performing a custom installation.
  7. Select the JVM provided by TIBCO or select the JVM installed separately.
  8. If the TIBCO EMS Server is not in the same TIBCO_HOME as the TIBCO Service Performance Manager, you get a warning message that it is not detected in the TIBCO_HOME. The Enterprise Message server is used by Service Performance Manager so ensure that you install it separately. Select the JVM provided by TIBCO or JVM installed separately.
  9. (Only on Unix Machines) Perform the following steps:
    1. Accept the LGPL License Agreement.
    2. Either download or specify the location of the LGPL Assembly.
  10. Verify the list of products selected to install and click Install to start the installation process.
  11. (Optional) Select Launch TIBCO Configuration Tool to start the configuration process after the installation. If you want to configure the product later, you can skip this step for now.
    Note: To launch TIBCO Configuration Tool later, run TCT_HOME/TIBCOConfigurationTool.TCT_HOME is the location you have selected to install TIBCO Configuration Tool. For example, on Windows system, if you have installed TIBCO Configuration Tool under TIBCO_HOME, TCT_HOME points to C:/TIBCO_HOME/tct/<version>.
