Installing in Silent Mode

In the silent mode, the universal installer does not prompt for any inputs during installation. Instead, the inputs are read from a configuration file that can be provided as a command-line parameter. If no value is specified, the installer uses the default TIBCOUniversalInstaller_spm_<version>.silent file.

The TIBCOUniversalInstaller_spm_<version>.silent file is packaged in the directory that contains the universal installer. Edit the file with information for your environment before launching the silent installation. The file includes comments that describe the installation properties you can set. While using the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_spm_<version>.silent file, copy the file to a different name and use that file for the silent install.

If errors occur during the installation, they are listed in the installation log file located in the User_Home/.TIBCO directory.

Procedure

  1. Open the physical media or download the package.
  2. Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.
  3. Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory.
  4. Make a copy of the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_spm_<version>.silent file and rename the file.
  5. Using a text editor, open the copied file. You may need to update the install location, ENV_NAME, and features to install.
    • Update the install location. The default location is:
      <entry key="installationRoot">C:/tibco</entry>
    • Update features to install. Set the features that you want to install to true.
  6. Run the following:
    Windows
     TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent -V responseFile="myfilename.silent"
    UNIX
     TIBCOUniversalInstaller.bin -silent -V responseFile="myfilename.silent"
  7. To configure the product after installation, run TCT_HOME/TIBCOConfigurationTool.
