1). Copy the file "wrap" from <TIBCO_HOME>/tra/5.8/bin to <TIBCO_HOME>/adapter/adjdexe/5.3/bin. Backup the adjdexe file and rename the "wrap" file to the "adjdexe" file.
2). Modify the adjdexe.tra file.
For the tibco.env.LD_LIBRARY_PATH, add the <TIBCO_HOME>/tibrv/8.4/lib/64.
Also modify <TIBCO_HOME>/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/i386/client to <TIBCO_HOME>/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/amd64/server and
<TIBCO_HOME>/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/i386 to <TIBCO_HOME>/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/amd64
