If you invoke the installer from a command prompt using
the runtime command line option silent, you can perform an
unattended, or silent installation.
Running the installer in silent mode requires no interaction
with the wizard. You can invoke a silent install using all the default
setup options, or provide a response file for a non-standard installation.
To
use any of these options, type the appropriate command from the following
list.

Procedure
- To run a silent install using all the default setup options,
type one of the following commands:
On AIX, type:setup.bin -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE
On Linux, type:setup.bin -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE
On Solaris, type:setup.bin -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE
On Windows, type:setup.exe -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE
In this way, you explicitly accept the license agreement and
the install can proceed using the default options.
- To record a response file using the wizard, type one of
the following commands:
On AIX, type:setup.bin -r responsefilename.txt
On Linux, type:setup.bin -r responsefilename.txt
On Solaris, type:setup.bin -r responsefilename.txt
On Windows, type:setup.exe -r responsefilename.txt
You can use the
console option in conjunction with
the above command to record the response file in a text-based manner.
For example
- To invoke a silent install using a response file, type
one of the following commands:
On AIX, type:setup.bin -i silent -f [responsefilename.txt]
On Linux, type:setup.bin -i silent -f [responsefilename.txt]
On Solaris, type:setup.bin -i silent -f [responsefilename.txt]
On Windows, type:setup.exe -i silent -f [responsefilename.txt]
- You can use the silent option for uninstalling by
adding it as an argument to the uninstaller command. For
example:
- You can use the console option instead to perform
a text-based uninstallation. For example:
