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_bwpluginsiebel_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. When editing the response file provide the location of the Siebel JAR files, siebel.jar and SiebelJI_enu.jar, on your system. 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. 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 or password, contact TIBCO Technical Support.
  2. Extract the content of the package to a temporary directory and open the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwpluginsiebel_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. 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.
