Verifying the Installation

This section explains the ways to verify the TIBCO API Exchange Manager installation.

Checking the Installer Log File

Check the tibco_universal_installer.userid_install.log and antTask_log_post-install_yyyy-mm-dd.timestamp.log files which are located in the.TIBCO/install_timestamp folder of the user’s home directory performing the installation.

For example, on the Windows platform, the tibco_universal_installer.userid_install.log and antTask_log_post-install_yyyy-mm-dd.timestamp.log files are located in the C:\Users\userid\.TIBCO directory.

Errors in this file, or the existence of error files under this folder, indicates installation problems. Error files have the following format:

antTask_ERROR_log_post-install_mm-dd-yyy.n.log
