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_bwpluginibmi_7.2.2.silent is packaged with the TIBCO Universal Installer. You need to edit the response file with information about your environment before launching the silent installation. The best 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 only 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 download site (https://edelivery.tibco.com).
    You are required to provide a user name and password. If you do not have a user name and password, contact TIBCO Technical Support.
  2. Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.
  3. Navigate to the temporary directory and open the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwpluginibmi_7.2.2.silent file.
  4. Update the following parameters:
    • installationRoot: The location where TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is installed.
    • environmentName: The environment name of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks.
  5. On a command line, navigate to the temporary directory where you extracted the installation package.
  6. Enter the following command to start the installation:
    • On Microsoft Windows: TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent [-V responseFile="TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwpluginibmi_7.2.2.silent"]
    • On Linux: TIBCOUniversalInstaller-lnx-x86-64.bin -silent [-V responseFile="TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwpluginibmi_7.2.2.silent"]
    • On Mac OS: TIBCOUniversalInstaller-mac.command -silent [-V responseFile="TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwpluginibmi_7.2.2.silent"]
    Note: If you copy the response file to a directory other than the one containing the installer, you need to provide the absolute path of the response file.
