Installing in Silent Mode

In the silent mode, the universal installer does not prompt for any inputs during the installation. The installer reads from a response file that can be provided as a command-line parameter. If no value is specified, the installer uses the default TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwlx_version.silent file.

The TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwlx_version.silent file is packaged in the directory that contains the universal installer. 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.
Note: You can also copy the file to a different name and use that file for the silent install.
If errors occur during the installation, they will be listed in the installation log file located in the User_Home/.TIBCO directory.

Procedure

  1. Open the physical media or download the package.
  2. Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.
  3. Navigate to the temporary directory.
  4. Make a copy of the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwlx_version.silent file and rename the file.
  5. Using a text editor, open the copied file and update the install location and features to install.
    • Update the install location. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for Large XML must be installed in the same directory where TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is installed. The default location is: <entry key="installationRoot">C:\tibco</entry>
    • Update the features to install. Set the features that you want to install to true.
  6. Run the silent installer:
    • Windows TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent -V responseFile="myfilename.silent"
    • UNIX ./TIBCOUniversalInstaller-platform.bin -silent -V responseFile="myfilename.silent"
