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_bwpluginodata_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 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.
    Note: If you only want to install the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in for OData Runtime component, you have to change the parameters <entry key="selectedProfiles">Typical</entry> in the response file to <entry key="selectedProfiles">Runtime</entry>, and add <entry key="feature_design_bwpluginodata">false</entry> in the response file.
  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.
