Installing in Silent Mode

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

A default response file named TIBCOUniversalInstaller-mainframewebui_version.silent is packaged with TIBCO Universal Installer. Before starting the silent installation, edit the response file with information about your environment. It is good practice to make a copy of the default response file, and then edit that file and use it for the installation.

  • If you invoke the installer with the -silent argument, the installer reads the input from the default response file.
  • If you invoke the installer with the -silent -V responseFile=<filename> argument, the installer reads the input from the specified response file.

Procedure

  1. Open the physical media or download the package from the TIBCO eDelivery site (https://edelivery.tibco.com).
    To download the installation package, a user name and password are required. If you do not have a user name or password, contact TIBCO Technical Support.
  2. Extract the content of the package to a temporary directory.
  3. Navigate to the temporary directory to which you extracted the installation package, and then open the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_mainframewebui_version.silent file.
  4. Update the response file directly, or make a copy of the response file first and then update the copied file.
  5. On a command line, navigate to the temporary directory to which you extracted the installation package.
  6. Start the installation by running one of the following commands:
    • On Microsoft Windows: TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]
    • On Linux: TIBCOUniversalInstaller-platform_acronym.bin -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]
    • On Mac: TIBCOUniversalInstaller-platform_version.silent -silent [-V responseFile="filename"]
    Note: If you copy the response file to another directory, not the temporary directory containing the installer, provide the absolute path of the response file.
