Installing TIBCO MFT Internet Server in Silent Mode

You can install TIBCO MFT Internet Server in silent mode.

In silent mode, TIBCO MFT Internet Server is installed automatically by using the parameters in the SilentInstall.xml file.

You must start the installation process using the proper user authorization. For more information, see Installation Requirements.

Procedure

  1. Download and extract the installation package to an installation directory on your computer.
  2. Copy the JDBC driver jar file(s) into the database-lib directory, which is present in the Installation directory.
    1. Make sure that you have copied the proper JDBC driver to the database-lib directory.
    2. Make sure that only one JDBC driver is in the database-lib directory.
    3. If using Java 11 or higher, make sure that the JDBC driver supports Java 11.
      After you fix the JDBC driver, re-run the install.
  3. Create your SilentInstall.xml file by executing the silent-setup program. This program will request information about the installation environment, similar to the questions asked during the standard install. The output of this script will be the SilentInstall.xml file. If you want to run the installation in a different directory from the directory where the silent install was performed, you must copy three files to the installation directory:
    • SilentInstall.xml
    • The keystore created in the silent install
    On a command line, navigate to the MFTIS_Install directory and start the silent mode configuration by executing the following command:
    • Windows: silent-setup
    • UNIX: ./silent-setup.sh
    • The database-lib directory, which contains the JDBC JAR file(s)
    For more information on the format and parameters of the SilentInstall.xml file, see SilentInstall.xml File Parameters.
    Note: It is good practice to use the silent-setup program to create or update the SilentInstall.xml file. If you create this file by using a text editor, the passwords will be entered in clear text. You can also use an optional program to encrypt passwords, and manually add the encrypted output to the SilentInstall.xml file.
  4. On a command line, navigate to the MFTIS_install directory, and run the following command to start the installation in silent mode:
    • Windows: install.bat silent
    • UNIX: ./install.sh silent
