Installing in the GUI Mode

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

1. Open the physical media or download the package.
   1. Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.
   2. Navigate to the temporary directory.
2. 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.
3. On the Welcome dialog, click the Next button.
4. 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.
   1. 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.
   2. 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.
      Note: You can install TIBCO Enterprise Administrator in an existing HAWK_HOME or TRA_HOME.
   3. Click the Next button.
6. By default, TIBCO Universal Installer selects the Typical installation profile. In typical installation, TIBCO Enterprise Administrator is installed by default. To customize the profile feature settings, select the Customize Installation check box and use the feature tree on the right. Click the Next button. The following components can be installed if you select custom installation:

   Installation Profile	Components Installed
   TIBCO Enterprise Administrator	The TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server component is installed. Along with the server, the Web UI, the command-line interface, the Python scripts, the agent library to build your own agents, the agent for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service, and the agent for TIBCO Security Server are installed.
   TIBCO Hawk Agent	The Hawk agent is installed. A Hawk agent is an autonomous process that resides on each computer that monitors TIBCO applications on the computer. The TIBCO Hawk agent operates autonomously and is active whenever the operating system it monitors is active. The Hawk agent uses a set of rules, called rulebases, to configure system management, status, and automation tasks. The Hawk agent monitors conditions on its local machine and send alerts over the network only when problems are detected.

7. Select the folder that must be used as the TIBCO Configuration Directory (TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME). Ensure that the folder you use is not already being used by another TIBCO product. The subfolder, tibco\cfgmgmt\tea is appended to the path. Click Next.
   Note: If you are upgrading, the installer stores a backup of the logging.xml and tea.conf files in the <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME>\tibco\cfgmgmt\tea\conf folder. They are stored as tea_backup_<timestamp>_<meridiem_indicator>.conf and logging_backup_<timestamp>_<meridiem_indicator>.xml. The meridiem_indicator can be AM or PM. To use the existing configuration properties with new version of TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, ensure that you rename them back to tea.conf and logging.xml.
8. You can choose Use JVM Provided by TIBCO or Specify Currently Installed Java location. If you selected the latter, point to the existing location of the Java directory and click Next. TIBCO Enterprise Administrator supports Java 8.
   Note: If you have selected TIBCO Hawk Agent as one of the components to be installed, and you do not have TIBCO Rendezvous on the selected TIBCO_HOME, you will be prompted that you install TIBCO Rendezvous separately. The version of TIBCO Rendezvous installed is dependent on the installed JRE version.

   Installed JRE Version	TIBCO Rendezvous Version
   1.6	8.1.1
   1.7	8.4.0

   Note: If you have selected TIBCO Hawk Agent one of the components to be installed, and if the installer does not detect an EMS_HOME in the TIBCO_HOME selected, you will be prompted to install TIBCO Enterprise Message Service separately. The version of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service installed is dependent on the installed JRE version.

   Installed JRE Version	TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Version
   1.6	6.0.0
   1.7	6.3.0

9. The TIBCO Enterprise Administrator can be started as an NT service. Specify one of the following startup types:
   1. Manual
   2. Automatic
   3. Automatic (Delayed Start)
   4. Disabled

   Click Next.

10. Verify the list of products selected to install in the Pre-Install Summary window. Click the Install button to start the installation process.
11. Review the information listed in the Post-Install Summary window. Click the Finish button to complete the installation process and exit the universal installer.
