Using Silent Mode

TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT) supports the silent mode where it takes the wizard ID and the build.properties as input files and runs TCT based on these files.

You can run TCT in the silent mode using the commands shown below. Note that the commands given below are for Windows and UNIX. For other operating systems, you will need to use the commands specific to the operating system.
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]

For example: 

TIBCOConfigurationToolc.exe -silentMode -wizard.id
com.tibco.tct.amx.upgrade.downgrade -wizard.props
CONFIG_HOME\tct\tct.upgrade.downgrade\2018-06-12-13-20-10\scripts\build.properties

The wizard ID for the upgrade and downgrade wizard is : com.tibco.tct.amx.upgrade.downgrade.

The wizard.props points to the build.properties file created by TCT (GUI mode or Console mode). You can create it manually as well.

Note:
  • The input file given in the wizard.props is not edited; it is copied and the new TCT folder structure gets created under the new location.
  • This new location is picked up from property tct.config.home found in TIBCOConfigurationToolc.ini.
  • By default, silent mode runs a default target found in build.xml and the current default target is run.upgrade.downgrade.
  • If you do not need to run the default target, there is a wizard.target argument that you can pass in while starting silent mode.
