Running TIBCO Configuration Tool in Silent Mode

You can configure your system without user input by running TIBCO Configuration Tool in silent mode. You can supply parameters that specify which wizard you want to run, and you can specify which configuration file you want to use.

Before you run in the silent mode, you should run the tool in GUI mode to generate a configuration file (build.properties). You can then run in silent mode, pointing to the configuration file you generated.
Each build.properties file specifies the machine name and operating system. If you want to use that properties file to run in the silent mode on a different machine, potentially with a different operating system, you can edit the properties file. You might have to change the following values in the configuration file.
  • Machine name (must be changed)
  • ActiveMatrix installation location
  • ActiveMatrix runtime configuration data location
  • ActiveMatrix enterprise name
  • Operating system (optional)
Note: You must be an advanced user with an in-depth understanding of the configuration process to successfully run TIBCO Configuration Tool in the silent mode.

Procedure

  1. Run the tool in the GUI mode or in console mode to generate a properties file.
    build.properties file is stored in CONFIG_HOME/tct/subfolder/date-time/scripts.

    The name of subfolder depends on the wizard you run in the GUI or console mode.

  2. Edit the build.properties file and customize the configuration. In most cases, you specify a different machine name, Administrator server, and so on.
    See Using TIBCO Configuration Tool Scripts and Property Files.
  3. Decide on the wizard you want to run.

    Platform Command
    Linux, UNIX TIBCOConfigurationTool -silentMode -wizard.id wizard_id -wizard.props build_properties [wizard.target ant_target-name]
    Windows TIBCOConfigurationToolc.exe -silentMode -wizard.id wizard_id -wizard.props build_properties [wizard.target ant_target-name]
    • wizard_id can be one of the IDs listed in Step 3.
    • build.properties is a properties file for that wizard. You must customize most properties files before you run the wizard.
    • wizard_target is an optional parameter that is used to set a non-default build target. By default, the build.xml file of the wizard you invoke is used.
