Installing in Silent Mode

In silent mode, the installer runs without user input. Instead, the installer reads installation parameters from a response file.

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

TIBCOUniversalInstaller_product_ID_version.silent

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

If you invoke the 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 on the command line:

-silent -V responseFile="response_file_name.silent"

Procedure

  1. Open the physical media or download the package from the TIBCO eDelivery site (https://edelivery.tibco.com).
    To download, you need a user name and password. If you did 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 that temporary directory.
  4. Make a copy of the default response file, open the copy with a text editor, then update the parameters as needed.
    The response file contains comments that describe each of the parameters.
  5. Start the installer using the appropriate command line for your platform:
    • Microsoft Windows:

      TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent -V responseFile="response_file_name.silent"

    • Linux:

      TIBCOUniversalInstaller-platform_acronym.bin -silent -V responseFile="response_file_name.silent"

    • Mac OS:

      TIBCOUniversalInstaller-mac.command -silent -V responseFile="response_file_name.silent"

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