Description

How can IT install only TIBCO Streaming Server without the rest of the development software?

Resolution

TIBCO Streaming Server may be installed on test and production systems without the StreamBase Studio development environment, adapters, samples, maven repository, and documentation.

From a full install of TIBCO Streaming run the command:
  epdev install maven
This places the TIBCO Streaming maven artifacts into the local user repository. These artifacts are also placed in the repository when SB Studio is run at least once.

The location of the user’s local maven repository is:
Windows: C:\Users\{user}\.m2\repository\
Linux: /home/{user}/.m2/repository
This is the default maven repository location.

Within the repository, find the TIBCO Streaming Server distribution file (example):
Windows: .m2\repository\com\tibco\ep\sb\rt\platform_windowsx64\10.4.4
Linux: .m2\repository\com\tibco\ep\sb\rt\platform_linuxx86_64\10.4.4

The server distribution will be named something like (example):
Windows: platform_windowsx64-10.4.4.zip
Linux: platform_linuxx86_64-10.4.4.zip

The TIBCO Streaming full install for Microsoft Windows includes the Linux server distribution file as well as the Windows distribution file to assist with cross-platform development and deployment.

To install the TIBCO Streaming Server, copy the distribution ZIP file to the target system which may be a physical system or a virtual machine and extract it into a new folder. This will be the TIBCO_EP_HOME environment variable location for this install of the server.

To use the installed TIBCO Streaming Server runtime, set these environment variables:
JAVA_HOME – The location of the Oracle Java JDK obtained from Oracle Corp.
TIBCO_EP_HOME – The parent directory where the server was installed.
PATH – Place at the start the environment variable the paths:
  {TIBCO_EP_HOME}\distrib\tibco\bin
  {JAVA_HOME}\jdk\bin

Then run ‘epadmin’ and ‘epmonitor’ as needed to administrate the server. The StreamBase application archive may be placed anywhere else on the system and run with this distribution install when using the above environment variable settings.
