Installing in Silent Mode

It is good practice to install in silent mode when you decide to rapidly deploy TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail on several machines. In Silent mode, the TIBCO Universal Installer does not prompt for any inputs during installation. Instead, the inputs are read from a configuration file that is provided as a command-line parameter. If no value is specified, the installer uses the default TIBCOUniversalInstaller_oihr_<version>.silent file. This default file is included in the directory that contains the TIBCO Universal Installer. In silent mode, you can run the installer without user input by pointing the installer to an existing response file.

Procedure 

1.

Open the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_oihr_<version>.silent file.

2.

Use text editor to update the information regarding install location, ENV_NAME, and features in the following way:

a.

The following elements can be set to true or false in the .silent file for downloading and installing LGPL assemblies. You can also specify the path if you have already downloaded the LGPL assemblies by setting the LGPLAssemblyDownload key to false and specifying the path in LGPLAssemblyPath key.

<entry key="LGPLAssemblyLicenseAccepted">true</entry>
<entry key="LGPLAssemblyDownload">true</entry>
<entry key="LGPLAssemblyPath">/opt/tibco/thirdpartyDownload</entry>

b.

Update the install location. For example, update the directory as follows:

<entry key="installationRoot">/opt/tibco</entry>

c.

Update ENV_NAME For example, update ENV_NAME as follows:

<entry key="environmentName">TIBCO-HAWK-HOME</entry>
<entry key="environmentDesc">My HAWK Installation</entry>

d.

Update features to be installed. Set the component features that you want to install to true. For more details, see Installation Components and Profiles.

e.

The following elements can be set to true or false in the .silent file for installing your choice of components, to simulate the TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail custom installation.

<entry key="feature_JRE_Hawk">true</entry>
<entry key="feature_TIBCO Hawk Documentation_hawk">true</entry>
<entry key="feature_Agent, SDK, Examples_oihr">true</entry>
<entry key="feature_Event Service_oihr">true</entry>
<entry key="feature_Console_oihr">true</entry>
<entry key="feature_Agent, Console, QueryNode, WebApp Containers_oihr">true</entry>
<entry key="feature_Agent, Console, QueryNode, WebApp Enterprise Components_oihr">true</entry>
<entry key="feature_Admin Agent Runtime_hawk">true</entry>

f.

Configure the Hawk Agent as follows:

<!-- GRPC session address -->
<entry key="hawk.agent.grpc.session">localhost:9697</entry>
<!-- Domain -->
<entry key="hawk.agent.hawk.domain">classic</entry>
<!-- AMI settings for TCP -->
<entry key="hawk.agent.ami.tcp.port">localhost:2571</entry>
<entry key="hawk.agent.ami.rvd.session">false</entry>

g.

Configure the CONFIG_HOME by configuring the following parameter:

<entry key="configDirectoryRoot">/home/user/tibco</entry>

h.

Configure the JRE Directory by configuring the following parameter:

<entry key="java.home.directory">/opt/tibco/tibcojre64/11</entry>

i.

If you want to force re-installation of previously installed TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail features, uncomment and configure the following parameter:

<entry key="reinstallFeatures">true</entry>

3.

Enter the following command to start the installation:

a.

On Microsoft Windows:

TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent -V responseFile="TIBCOUniversalInstaller_hawk_<version>.silent"

b.

On Linux:

./TIBCOUniversalInstaller.bin -silent -V responseFile="TIBCOUniversalInstaller_hawk_<version>.silent"
