Description: While installing TIBCO Rendezvous " .TIBCO" and ".TIBCOEnvinfo" directories get created in the "?" directory on Linux. Ideally these directories should be created in the user.home directory .
Symptoms: TIBCO Runtime Agent Universal Installer cannot detect the existing TIBCO_HOME directory and fails.
"Installer invoked by: ?" and "System user.home = ?" are observed in the installation log file. Cause: user.home on linux is "?"
The is a Java bug (JDK-6972329) that "user.home" has a value of "?" when using JDK 1.6 32-bit on a 64-bit RedHat Linux system. Refer to:
http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6972329
This may be due to using a 32-bit 1.6 JVM.
