Chapter 2 Installation : Installing in Silent Mode

Installing in Silent Mode

In silent mode, you can run the installer without user input by pointing the installer to an existing response file, which contains installation parameters.

A default response file is included with the product. You can edit the response file with information about your environment before launching the silent installation. The name of the default response file is:

TIBCOUniversalInstaller_hawkjmx_<version>.silent

The best practice is to make a copy of the default response file, and then edit that file and use it for the installation.

If you invoke the TIBCO Universal Installer with only the -silent argument, the installer reads the input from the default response file.

If you make a copy of the default response file, and rename it, you must provide the name of the response file when invoking the installer. This is done by passing the following arguments on the command line:

-silent -V responseFile="filename.silent"

where filename is the name you gave the response file.

To install this product in silent mode:

1.

Open the physical media or download the package from the TIBCO eDelivery site (https://edelivery.tibco.com).

To access the TIBCO eDelivery site, you will need a user name and password. If you do not receive a user name and password, contact TIBCO Technical Support.

2.

Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.

3.

Navigate to the temporary directory to which you extract the installation package.

4.

Make a copy of the default response file, open the copy with a text editor, and then update the parameters as needed.

The response file contains comments that describe each of the parameters. You can save the file using any name.

5.

Enter the following command to start the installation. For example, if you have copied the response file and saved it as MyResponseFile.silent:

−

Microsoft Windows:

TIBCOUniversalInstaller.exe -silent -V responseFile="MyResponseFile.silent"

(or)

TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64.exe -silent -V responseFile="MyResponseFile.silent"

−

Linux:

TIBCOUniversalInstaller-lnx-x86.bin -silent -V responseFile="MyResponseFile.silent"

(or)

TIBCOUniversalInstaller-lnx-x86-64.bin -silent -V responseFile="MyResponseFile.silent"

If you copy the response file to a directory other than the temporary directory containing the installer, you need to provide the absolute path of the response file.
