Installing In Silent Mode

In the silent mode, you can run the installer without user input by pointing the installer to a response file.

In the silent mode, the installer does not prompt for input during the installation, but reads the inputs from a response file. By default the installer uses the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file which is included in the directory that contains the universal installer. You must specify the TIBCO_HOME location in the response file.

To customize the silent installer, make a backup copy of the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_sftp_<version>.silent file and edit the file itself. You can then run the silent installer with or without the response file argument.

Procedure

  1. Make a copy of the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file and rename the file, for example, myfilename.silent.
  2. Using a text editor, open the copied file, and update the installation location and features to install.
  3. Run the silent installer with or without the optional response file.
    • Windows: TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent [-V responseFile="myfilename.silent" ]
    • UNIX: TIBCOUniversalInstaller.bin -silent [-V responseFile='myfilename.silent']
