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_bwpluginpi_version.silent is packaged with TIBCO Universal Installer. Before starting the silent installation, edit the response file with the 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.

Procedure

  1. From the TIBCO eDelivery website, open the physical media or download the package.
    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_bwpluginpi_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.
  5. Start the installation by running one of the following commands:
    • On Microsoft Windows: TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]
    • On Linux: TIBCOUniversalInstaller-lnx-x86-64.bin -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]
    Note: If you copy the response file to another directory, not the temporary directory containing the installer, provide the absolute path to the response file.
