Installing in Silent Mode

In the 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_bwpluginmft_version.silent is packaged with 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.

Prerequisites

  1. Ensure that ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is already installed. The plug-in must be installed in the same installation environment where 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.
    Note: To install migration in Silent Mode, you must change the selected profile entry in the response file from <entry key="selectedProfiles">Typical</entry> to <entry key="selectedProfiles">Adapter to Plugin Migration</entry> which is packaged with TIBCO Universal Installer.

What to do next

Open TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks and create a project to start using the plug-in. For more information, see the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for TIBCO® Managed File Transfer User's Guide.
