Description

TIBCO Scribe® Insight Adapters can be installed when you install TIBCO Scribe® Insight.  However, if an update to an Adapter is released or you need to reinstall, you can install the Adapter without reinstalling TIBCO Scribe® Insight.

Note: For TIBCO Scribe® Insight Versions 7.9.4 and higher, the Adapters cannot be downloaded separately. They are part of the TIBCO Scribe® Insight installer. Refer to the Installation Guide for the version of TIBCO Scribe® Insight you are using.

Note: TIBCO Scribe® Insight installation files are now hosted on the TIBCO eDelivery site.
