TIBCO iProcess® Engine 11.10.0

# 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).

Note | With one exception, the installer performs the same checks and validation, during a silent installation as it does during an interactive one. If it encounters a decision point where the installing user needs to confirm something to continue, and the answer is not provided in the control file, it assumes a default answer of `N` and quits the installation. This could occur, for example, if an existing iProcess Engine database schema is found when installing a new iProcess Engine. You must therefore ensure that your control file is complete and accurate. 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: `WARNING: Skipping Platform Validation Tests (silent install)` The silent installation then continues.

Warning | If you create a control file from scratch and you are using an Oracle DB TNS Identifier that does not have Oracle TAF enabled, you must add the `IPEF_USENONTAF="Y" line to your control file. This is because the install (if run interactively) checks and prompts you to enter `Y` to continue with the installation if Oracle TAF is not enabled (see Oracle TAF is Not Enabled for more information).`

Note: If you provide the URL for your TIBCO Activation Service instance during installation, then add the following control file keyword to your control file:
`IPEI_LIC_ACT_SER_URL="https://hostname:7070/?fp=activation_service_fingerprint"`
