Installing MMS


This page explains how to install TIBCO Streaming Model Management Server (MMS) on all supported platforms.


Platform Requirements

It is recommended installing MMS on a platform that meets or exceeds TIBCO StreamBase® requirements. Although you can install MMS on a platform that is below the StreamBase requirements, other platforms are officially not supported. For more information, see the Supported Configurations documentation page in the StreamBase Installation Guide TIBCO® Streaming documentation.

Note: The MMS UI application needs Java JRE or JDK 22 or later installed in the platform's default location for Java. This is done by using:

  • An Oracle Java installer.
  • An Adoptium Java installer. On Windows, it is recommended to install with the update Oracle registry feature enabled.
  • The package installation system for your Linux distribution.

Note: In the sections below, n.m.s represents the release version, where n represents major release number, m represents minor release number, and s represents service pack (wherever applicable).

Installing on Windows, macOS, or Linux

MMS UI (Desktop) Installation

Launch the MMS UI installer by running the platform-specific installer file downloaded from the TIBCO distribution site. The installer is named: TIB_str_mmsui_n.m.s_<platform>.<extension>.

By default, MMS UI is installed at the following location:

  • C:\tibco\str\n.m\mms-ui (Windows)

  • /opt/tibco/str/n.m/mms-ui/ (macOS, Linux)

To open MMS UI in Windows, click Start button on the taskbar and begin typing Model Management Server until Windows locates Model Management Server UI n.m.

You can also open MMS UI by navigating to and launching <install_dir>\mms-ui\mms.exe application.

MMS Server Installation

Launch the MMS Server installer by running the platform-specific installer file downloaded from the TIBCO distribution site. The installer is named: TIB_str_mms_n.m.s_<platform>.

By default, MMS Server is installed at the following location:

  • C:\tibco\str\n.m\mms (Windows)

  • /opt/tibco/str/n.m/mms/ (macOS, Linux)

Note: For more information on MMS installation, refer the following platform-specific documentation pages:


Post-Installation Steps

After installation, configure MMS by editing its configuration file as needed for your deployment. For example, you may need to change contents of the local authentication realm to modify or remove existing users and roles that would otherwise get copied into the MMS persistence realm the next time MMS starts. When the local authentication realm is enabled, the MMS persistence realm is automatically enabled as well. Any users that do not exist in the MMS persistence realm are copied from the local authentication realm.

For more information, see the MMS Configuration Guide.

For MMS Server, ensure the directory containing the MMS executable is on the PATH environment variable:

  • C:\TIBCO\str\n.m\distrib\tibco\mms\bin (Windows)

For Windows deployments, MMS provides a Command Prompt shortcut to set the appropriate environment, including the path, to run MMS.

  • /opt/tibco/str/n.m/distrib/tibco/mms/bin (macOS and Linux)

The file path to the database can be absolute or relative to the current working directory. It is set in the filePath property of artifact-server.conf file.


MMS Client Browser Support

The MMS client is compatible with the following browsers:

  • Google Chrome (recommended)
  • Apple Safari

  • Microsoft Edge
