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_bwpdk_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 to make a copy of the default response file, and 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 the 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.

Prerequisites

  1. Ensure that ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is already installed. The plug-in must be installed in the same installation environment where TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ is installed.
  2. From TIBCO eDelivery, download the installation package. To download the installation package, the TIBCO account credentials (user name and password) are required. If you do not have a user name and password, contact TIBCO Support.
  3. Extract the content of the package to a local directory.
  4. Stop all running processes in the installation environment before the installation.

Procedure

  1. On the command line, navigate to the local directory where you extracted the installation package.
  2. To start the installation, run the following command: <TIBCO Universal Installer executable file> -silent [-V responseFile="<my_response_filename>"]
    Note: If you copy the response file to another directory, not the local directory containing the installer, then provide the absolute path of the response file.

What to do next

Open TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks and start using the plug-in.
