What are the Installation Modes?
1. GUI Mode:
2. Console Mode:
There are three Installation Modes:
1. GUI Mode
2. Console Mode
3. Silent Mode
1. GUI Mode:
In GUI mode, the installer presents panels that enable you to make choices about product selection, product location, and so on. This is nothing but typical installation of any software that we do.
2. Console Mode:
Console mode enables you to run the installer from the command prompt or terminal window. This is useful if your machine does not have a Windows environment.
3. Silent Mode
Silent mode either installs using the default settings or uses a response file that was saved during an earlier installation. Silent mode installs without prompting you for information.
What are Major, Minor and Patch Releases?
TIBCO Runtime Agent supplies a number of TIBCO and third-party libraries used by TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks and other TIBCO products both at design-time and runtime. This includes, for example, TIBCO Rendezvous software.
How does TIBCO Installer know about previously installed version on the machine?
The TIBCO installer maintains an installation registry & it consists of two files prefixed with vpd (Vital Product Database)
vpd.properties
vpd.properties.tibco.MachineName
These files work as the registry for the Tibco product and are always modified by Tibco installer when we install or uninstall any product.
This is the file that installer uses for checking the existing versions. The location of the files is c:\windows for windows and <user-home> directory for the Unix/Linux OS
Sometime, when you want to uninstall Tibco software and want to re-install, at the time of re-install the installer may throw software already exists error, this happens if the uninstall wasn't done correctly. So, always wait for the installer to exit out of the Uninstall process.
Where does Tibco Installer writes the install logs?
tibco_universal_installer.timestamp.username_install.log, is written to the User_Home\.TIBCO\install_timestamp directory.For example, on Windows the installer log is written to the C:\Documents and Settings\user-name\.TIBCO\install_timestamp directory.
