Providing Root User Privileges to the TIBCO Hawk Agent Process (UNIX Systems Only)
On UNIX systems you must set the root user as the owner for the TIBCO Hawk agent. Also, the Hawk HMA process must have the same set of rights as a root user. To achieve this, execute the following commands as a root user:
chown root
<<Tibco_Home>>/hawk/<version>/bin/tibhawkma
chmod u+s
<<Tibco_Home>>/hawk/<version>/bin/tibhawkma
Additionally, you must resolve the library dependency of the tibhawkma file. To do this on:
• HPUX v3: Update the /etc/dld.sl.conf file and add <<Tibco_Home>>/tibrv/<version>/lib to the list. Then run the following command:
chmod 744 /etc/dld.sl.conf
• On Solaris: Run the following command:
crle -64 -s <<Tibco_Home>>/tibrv/<version>/lib
• On Linux: Update the /etc/ld.so.conf file and add <<Tibco_Home>>/tibrv/<version>/lib to the list. Then run the following command:
ldconfig
Providing Installation User Privileges to the TIBCO Rendezvous Process (UNIX Systems Only)
On UNIX systems, you must set the installation user as the owner for the TIBCO and TIBRV related files and folders. To achieve this, execute the following command as a root user:
chown <<installation_user>> -R <<TIBCO_HOME>>
Common Installation and Configuration Errors
The following errors could cause problems during the installation and configuration process. Should you have difficulty completing any installation or configuration steps refer to the following for a possible cause:
• The removal and cleaning up of previous versions of TIBCO software was not completed properly.
• Inconsistent domain names were specified while using the custom installation option during multiple runs of the MICU.
• When installing some components on one machine and the remaining components on another machine errors may occur if you set ESISAPAdapter/JMSProviderURL to localhost. Use the EMS server hostname instead. (SAP only)
• Same application name used while deploying.
• Incorrect logon credentials (ERP/EMS/Admin).
• An additional Hawk service is running on UNIX platforms.
• Java parameters not set during manual deployment.
• Incorrect Java version in use. TIBCO installer fails to launch with an exit code 1 if the Java version is incompatible.
• Incorrect SAPJCo libraries are being used (SAP only).
• Incorrect CDs are being used. This often occurs during Solaris installations.
• Not enough space in the temporary installation directories, especially when using VMware machines.
• There is a space in the installation folder name. For example, C:\ptc\esi_10.0\TIBCO Install.
• A Windchill ESI solution deployment error message is displayed during deployment on Solaris SPARC11 using Windchill 11.0 ESI Business Logic for SAP, for the following reasons:
◦ The server is down

How to Check if the Web Service for ERP Part Information is Working
If exceptions are being thrown when you try to access ERP cost details for a part, it could mean one of the following; Either the web service hasn't been configured properly, or the service is not running in the background. The following procedure describes how to check for these issues:
Go to the preferences section and click on the pencil icon to see if the web service can be accessed. You should see a WSDL being used for fetching part costs. In case you face problems with the web service, verify the following:
1. Verify that the port on which the web service is running is not blocked. For example, a firewall, intruder detection software, or virus scan software could be blocking the web service. If it is being blocked, change the appropriate settings to permit data traffic on this port or use an open port for the web service.
2. Verify that the port is not being used by another application. If it is being used by another application, use another open port.
Publishing Documents with Cross-Referencing Values
In order to publish documents successfully with cross-referencing values, you must update the file <TIBCO_HOME>\esi\bin\ESILookups.properties with the Domain Name Value for each Windchill document type. The default value for the domain is PTCNET. For more information refer to the following comment in the ESILookups.properties file:
| Cross-referencing refers to the use of ERP equivalents for the data that comes from Windchill. |
• # CROSS REFERENCING VALUES FOR DOCUMENTS
For example the line:
Type.WCTYPE|wt.doc.WTDocument| <InternetDomain>.Plan$$Document.*.*=DOC
may be modified to read as follows:
Type.WCTYPE|wt.doc.WTDocument|com.ptc.ptcnet.Plan$$Document.*.*=DOC
Prerequisites for Publishing Operations
In order to successfully publish operations the work centers that are associated with the operations in a process plan need to exist in the SAP system. Work centers need to be defined with the standard SAP2 key. Other standard keys are only supported if they have similar types of times (setup time, processing time, labor time, standard queue time, standard move time, max wait time) defined.
Updating ESILookups.properties and ESIDefaults.properties
Refer to the <<TIBCO_HOME>>/esi/bin/ESILookups.properties and <<TIBCO_HOME>>/esi/bin/ESIDefaults.properties files to update the default settings as per your requirements.
BusinessWorks Configuration Settings
To configure BusinessWorks use the following procedure:
1. Backup the following file:
<<TibcoHome>>/designer/<<version>>/bin/designer.tra
2. In a text editor, open the following file:
<<TibcoHome>>/designer/<<version>>/bin/designer.tra
3. Search for the following string:
tibco.env.CUSTOM_CP_EXT
4. Replace that string with the following:
tibco.env.CUSTOM_CP_EXT %RV_HOME%/lib/tibrvj.jar:%RV_HOME%/lib:%RV_HOME%/lib/64:
| There may be additional folders on the path. Keep these entries when replacing the string. |
5. Search for the following string:
tibco.env.CUSTOM_LIB_PATH
6. Replace that string with the following:
tibco.env.CUSTOM_LIB_PATH %RV_HOME%/lib:%RV_HOME%/lib/64:
| There may be additional folders on the path. Keep these entries when replacing the string. |
7. Save and close designer.tra
8. Open TIBCO Designer and start the process archive.
Manually Deploying the ESI EAR
By default MICU deploys the ESI EAR. However, in some cases, as when you are deploying custom business logic, or supporting multiple SAP instances you may need to manually deploy the newly generated EAR.
To manually deploy the EAR using the TIBCO Administrator use the following procedure:
1. In a browser window login to the TIBCO Administrator in GUI mode using http://Administratorhostname:8426. For example: http://localhost:8426
2. In the TIBCO Administrator click Application Management.
3. Click New Application.
4. Browse to and select the following EAR:
◦ <TIBCO_HOME>/esi/ear/ESI_SAP_TIB_5_6_EAR_10_0_<BuildNumber>.ear” )
5. Click OK.
6. Ensure that ProcessArchive.par displays the target as a BusinessWorks host machine, and that ESISAPAdapterConfiguration.aar displays the target as AdapterHostMachine.
7. Click Save.
| The deployment name string can only be modified from the "-" symbol on. The string content before that symbol is the domain name. For example, if the Deployment Name text box displays i2607 - SAP then: • i2607 is the domain name • SAP is the deployment name |
8. In the Configuration Builder window click SAP. This is the application name.
9. Click the Advanced tab.
10. Modify the ESIJMS and ESISAPAdapter variable groups and the ESIDirectory variable. For more information see Windchill ESI Preferences, Distribution Target Attributes and Global Variable Groups.
| Ensure that • "/" is used as a path separator and that the ESIDirectory path is terminated by "/" . • <ESISAPAdapter/SystemID>/.<ESISAPAdapterClient> is appended to the value of the global variable ESIJMS/DataResponseQueue. • The JMS URL in ESIJMS/JNDIContextURL and ESISAPAdapter/JMSProviderURL, has the relevant hostname instead of “localhost”. |
11. Click Save.
12. Click > .
13. Increase the Heap Size, Set Maximum Heap Size (MB) and Java Thread Stack Size (KB) to 512 or higher.
14. Click Save.
15. Click > > > > > > and set the existing value to a higher value (for example, 6), then add adr3.locale to UTF8.
16. Click Save.
17. ClickDeploy and then OK.
| If the EAR was deployed manually you need to configure the EMS appropriately. |
Configuring the EMS
To configure the EMS when the EAR has been deployed manually use the following commands in the EMS Administration Tool window:
• Replace <ESIDataResponse>, <EAIUser>, <WCESIUser> and the remaining variables with the applicable values such as com.ptc.windchill.esi.DataResponse.TSTA, ESISYS, WCESI and so on.
• create user <WCESIUser> password=<WCESIPassword>
