Chapter 2 Installing : Generating and Using a Response File

Generating and Using a Response File
You can generate a response file during installation which you can later use to invoke the installer with the selected values as default values (GUI mode) or as selected values (silent mode).
This section describes how to generate and install with a response file.
Generating a Response File
To use silent mode, you must first generate a response file (using GUI mode or Console mode) that contains the input values you want to use for the installation. You generate a response file using the following command:
installer -options-record filename
where installer is the installer executable (or bin file on Solaris or Linux), and filename is the name of the response file to be generated.
For example, on Windows:
 
TIB_srvcgw_oracle_6.0.0_win_x86.exe -options-record filename
After invoking the installer, complete the installation as normal. Your installation selections are saved in the file specified in filename.
Installing in Silent Mode
Silent mode installs using a response file that contains properties you can set for your installation. Silent mode installs without prompting you for information.
You must have a previously generated response file to use this mode. See Generating a Response File above for details.
To run the installer in silent mode, run the installer using the following command:
installer -silent -options filename
where installer is the installer executable (or bin file on Solaris or Linux), and filename is the name of the response file that was previously generated.
For example, on Windows:
TIB_srvcgw_oracle_6.0.0_win_x86.exe -silent -options filename
Installation in GUI or Console Mode With Response File
A previously generated response file may optionally be used with the installer in GUI or console mode, in which case the response file determines the defaults that are presented.
To use a response file in GUI or console mode, invoke the installer from the command line using the following commands:
TIB_srvcgw_odbc_6.0.0_win_x86.exe -options filename
TIB_srvcgw_odbc_6.0.0_win_x86.exe -console -options filename
 
where filename is the name of the response file that was previously generated.
Combination of Options
You can combine the different available options. For example, to install using Console mode and generate a response file, use:
 
TIB_srvcgw_odbc_6.0.0_win_x86.exe -console                                       -options-record filename
