Silent ibi WebFOCUS App Studio Install and Uninstall

You can install and uninstall WebFOCUS App Studio in silent mode if you prefer to automate the process and remove prompts. In a silent installation, dialog boxes do not appear to prompt you for parameters. Instead, you place the parameters in a text file that you specify when launching the silent installation. The silent uninstall does not use a parameters file.

    Procedure
  1. Open the command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the directory where the WebFOCUS App Studio93 installation program (for example, ibi_wf-as_release_win_x86_64.exe) resides and type the following command: 
    ibi_wf-as_release_win_x86_64.exe -r drive:\fullpath\filename.properties

    This command runs in interactive mode and creates the filename.properties file, which you can use later in step 3 to run in silent mode. You can replace the filename in filename.properties with any name you wish.

    Note: Note: Always generate the properties file before performing the silent installation to ensure that the properties are correct.
    • The properties file has the extension .properties.
    • You must specify the full path to where the properties file will be created.
