TIBCO GridServer® 7.1.0

# Silent Installation

The Manager also has a silent installation mode, which can be used to non-interactively install and configure the Manager for automation purposes. In silent mode, the installer does not prompt for any inputs during installation. Instead, the inputs are read from a response file that is provided as a command-line parameter. The silent installer can be used for new Manager installations, or to upgrade or reinstall Manager.

The `install.silent` file is packaged in the root directory of the TIBCO GridServer® distribution. Edit the file with information for your environment before launching the silent installation. The file includes comments that describe the installation properties you can set. You can also specify properties on the command line that you don’t want to put in the properties file (such as passwords).

If errors occur during installation, they are listed in the installation log file located at DS_MANAGER`/webapps/livecluster/WEB-INF/log/install.log`.

Note:

You can provide values to the Grid authentication properties during Silent installation for Grid component authentication. For more information, see Authentication of Grid Components.

To use the silent installer:

| 1. | Perform the following tasks:

| a. | Task A: Copy Files Before Installation

| b. | Task B: Configure Server Settings

| 2. | Using a text editor, open the `install.silent` file in the root directory of the TIBCO GridServer® distribution and edit the properties for the Manager installation.

By default, the `acceptEULA` property is set to `false`. You must set this to `true` after reading the `EULA.txt` file in the root directory of the TIBCO GridServer® installation.
By default, the `passwordencryption` property is set to `true`. This property is used to secure`Internal.script` and passwords stored in the `installation.properties` file at `DS_DATA\conf`. For more information, see Securing Passwords and Internal.script.

| 3. | If you are upgrading an existing Manager, ensure that it is not running.

| 4. | Run the `install.sh` or `install.bat` file:

`install.sh/bat` `properties-file` `[``var1=x var2=y ...``]`

The `var1...varx` are optional, and enable you to specify properties on the command line instead of in the properties file (such as passwords).

Note | For upgrades performed with the silent installer, database migration does not overwrite existing entries. If you have configured the Manager and added anything to the database, the upgrade does not overwrite the new data from the previous Manager.
