Generating a Control File
To generate a control file, complete the following steps:
| 1. | Perform all the necessary pre-installation tasks. See Pre-Installation for detailed information. |
| 2. | Install iProcess Engine in Console mode, entering the required values to all the prompts as normal. See Installing TIBCO iProcess Engine in Console Mode. The installer writes your configuration information to the $SWDIR/logs/swinstall.dat file. |
| 3. | Perform the post-installation tasks. See Post-Installation for detailed information. |
| 4. | Start iProcess Engine to make sure that it has been correctly installed. |
| 5. | Open the $SWDIR/logs/swinstall.dat file in a text editor, and make any changes that you need. Make sure that the file conforms to the required format (see Control File Format for more information). |

The exception is that the installer does not check that you are installing on an operating system and/or database version that TIBCO has validated for use with this version of the iProcess Engine (see Installing on an Unvalidated Platform or Database Version). The following message is displayed on your screen:
The silent installation then continues. |
