Installation Options


If you are upgrading TIBCO Enterprise Message Service, or reinstalling a clean version of the software, you may uninstall the product first, or let the installer take care of performing the update or reinstall.

If any files are currently locked, the installer places them in a temporary location and performs the actual update the next time you reboot.

After unpacking the software and accepting the license agreement, you can choose to perform a typical install or custom install.

If you are installing for the first time, you must specify the installation directory where the products in this product suite will be installed. The default installation directory depends on who performs the installation:

Install Using GUI Mode

GUI mode lets you input values in panels (see GUI Mode). Type the following in a terminal window:

 
./TIB_ems-simple_4.3.0_platform.bin 
Install Using Console Mode

Console mode allows you to install the software in a non-window environment (see Console Mode). The installer will prompt you for values. Type the following in a terminal window:

 
./TIB_ems-simple_4.3.0_platform.bin -is:javaconsole -console 
Install Using Silent Mode with Default Values

Silent mode allows you to install the software without prompts using default values (see Silent Mode). Type the following in a terminal window:

./TIB_ems-simple_4.3.0_platform.bin -silent 
Install and Capture a Response File

You can capture the values that you supply during the installation, saving them in a response file. You can use the response file to speed subsequent installations.

To install and generate a response file, type the following at the command prompt:

TIB_ems-simple_4.3.0_platform.bin -options-record responseFile
The response file does not record selections at the component level. For example, it will not remember whether you chose to install documentation for a product. It does record all other selections, for example, which products you installed.
 
Install Using a Response File

You can use a previously captured response file for installation.

To install using a response file, type the following at the command prompt:

TIB_ems-simple_4.3.0_platform.bin -options responseFile 

Combining Options

You can combine the different available options. For example, to install in silent mode using a response file, use:

TIB_ems-simple_4.3.0_platform.bin -silent -options responseFile 

To install using Console mode and generate a response file, use:

TIB_ems-simple_4.3.0_platform.bin -is:javaconsole -console -options-record responseFile 

Change Ownership of the Installed Files

Change the ownership of the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service top directory to the user who will execute the software. For example, the following shell commands change the ownership and group:

cd EMS_HOME 
chown -R username . 
chgrp -R groupname .
