Description

Resolution:
No. OneĀ can not run two different versions of RV at the same time on the same host in Silver Fabric.


Because RV is installed in a directory with 2 digits (8.4), and RV daemon must be unique per machine/conf (this is a RV requirement), we do install RV in a shared location (DSEngine/tibco/tibrv). Which causes the error:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/tibco/fabric/DSEngine/work/tibco/tibrv/8.4/bin/rvd (Text file busy)


It is recommended that customers upgrade all the TLMs running on a specific host to use the same version of RV to avoid any issues.
