Installing in Silent Mode

In silent mode, you can run the installer without user input by pointing the installer to an existing response file.

A default response file named TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwpluginbwcp_version.silent is packaged with TIBCO Universal Installer. Before launching the silent installation, you have to edit the response file with information about your environment. It is good practice is to make a copy of the default response file, then edit that file and use it for the installation.

  • If you invoke the installer with the -silent argument, the installer reads the input from default response file.
  • If you invoke the installer with the -silent -V responseFile=<filename> argument, the installer reads the input from the specified response file.

Procedure

  1. Open the physical media or download the package from the TIBCO eDelivery site (https://edelivery.tibco.com).
    To download the installation package, a user name and password are required. If you do not have a user name and password, contact TIBCO Technical Support.
  2. Extract the content of the package to a temporary directory and open the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_product_acronym_version.silent file.
  3. Update the response file directly, or make a copy of the response file first, and then update the copied file.
  4. On the command line, navigate to the temporary directory where you extracted the installation package.
  5. Enter the following command to start the installation:
    • On Microsoft Windows: TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]
    • On Linux: TIBCOUniversalInstaller-platform_acronym.bin -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]
    • On Mac OS: TIBCOUniversalInstaller-mac.command -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]
    Note: If you copy the response file to another directory, not the temporary directory containing the installer, you have to provide the absolute path of the response file.
