Installing the BEA Tuxedo System

The BEA Tuxedo system software must be installed on each machine that will participate in a BEA Tuxedo system application.

Note: We advise against trying to share the BEA Tuxedo system executables across remote file systems; this practice has proven to be unreliable in the past.

The BEA Tuxedo System Administration Console must be installed in a file system that supports long filenames (that is, those containing more than 14 characters).

Details about the hardware and software prerequisites for all platforms on which the BEA Tuxedo system is supported are provided in Platform Data Sheets. Please check the data sheet for each platform on which you plan to install the BEA Tuxedo system.

Details about the hardware and software prerequisites for BEA Jolt are provided in BEA Jolt 1.2.1 System Requirements. Before you can install BEA Jolt, you must first install the BEA Tuxedo system software.

You need the following information and resources before installing the BEA Tuxedo system on a UNIX platform.

A system that meets the hardware and software requirements described in Platform Data Sheets.
The superuser password so that you can mount the CD-ROM as a file system.
The name of a file system with enough free space for the BEA Tuxedo system packages you wish to install. Disk space requirements are given in Platform Data Sheets.

For Windows Systems

You need the following resources before installing the BEA Tuxedo software on a Windows system:

A system that meets the hardware and software requirements described in Platform Data Sheets.
