Hardware Requirements
Installation requires a substantial amount of system memory and disk space. Review the system memory and disk space requirements before you start installation.
Disk Space
The installer requires space in the temporary directory before installation, and additional space in the temporary directory for running the installer. You must also make sure that the directory you want to use as the installation environment (TIBCO_HOME) directory has sufficient space.
Directory | Disk Space Requirement |
---|---|
Temporary directory before installation | Before you start the installation process, extract the contents of the installation archive to a temporary directory. The installer files consume up to 100 MB of disk space. |
Temporary directory during installation | The installer requires at least 100 MB of free space in the temporary directory. On Microsoft Windows, the default temporary directory location is
%SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp.
If your system does not have sufficient free disk space in the default temporary directory, you can use the is:tempdir option to run the installer with a different temporary directory. For example: TIBCOUniversalInstallerPlatform -is:tempdir \new_tmp where \new_tmp has sufficient free disk space. |
Installation environment directory | The installer calculates the disk space required in the installation environment directory for the selected components. The calculation is done before the actual installation (copying of files to system) begins. The installer proceeds only if sufficient free disk space is available in the installation environment directory. TIBCO Enterprise Administrator might consume 200 MB of free space under TIBCO_HOME. |
