Installing in Silent Mode

The following procedure explains how to install TIBCO Enterprise Message Service product in silent mode. The TIBCOUniversalInstaller-ems.silent file is packaged in the directory that contains the universal installer. You must edit the file with information for your environment before launching the silent installation. The file includes comments that describe the installation properties you can set.

While you can use the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-ems.silent file, it is good practice to copy the file to a different name and edit that file for the silent mode.

If errors occur during installation, they will be listed in the installation log file (see the User_Home/.TIBCO directory).

Procedure

  1. Download the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service product package.
  2. Extract the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service product archive file to a temporary directory.
  3. If you need Hibernate (in order to use database stores) and if your machine will not be connected to the Internet during installation, you must manually download the Hibernate assembly from the TIBCO download site before you run the TIBCO Universal Installer. A link to the Hibernate assembly is provided next to your TIBCO Enterprise Message Service product distribution on edelivery.tibco.com.
  4. Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory that contains the universal installer
  5. Copy the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-ems.silent file and rename the file.
  6. Using a text editor, open the copied file and update the install location and features to install.
  7. Run the installer using this command line: 
    TIBCOUniversalInstaller -silent -V responseFile="myfilename.silent"

    If you are using the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-ems.silent file (rather than a copy), you need not supply the file name and can use this command line: 

    TIBCOUniversalInstaller -silent.

    A line similar to the following is written to the installer log file when installation completes: 

    Install, com.tibco.installer.util.TIBCOInstaller, dbg.Debug, The installation has completed. Please check the log file for additional information.
... Install, com.tibco.installer.util.TIBCOInstaller, dbg.Debug, Executing Event:::OnEndInstall
