Installing silently

Install silently from the command line.

Before you begin

Procedure

To install in silent mode:

  1. On a command line, change to the directory that contains the .exe or .bin file that launches the installation wizard on your system.
  2. Enter the following command, using the -i silent -f options to install silently:
    installer_name -i silent -f response_file
    where installer_name is the name of the installation name for your operating system and response_file is the name of the file in which the installation procedure is recorded. If you did not specify a file name, the default is installer.properties.
    For example, run the following command on a Windows machine:
    IBM_OPQRT_V3_1_Windows -i silent -f installer.properties
  3. When the installation completes, the installation creates log files in the installation directory. You can use these files to examine the results of the silent installation. In the installation directory, open the following files:
    • If you installed Version 3.1, view the following log files:
      • OPQRTinstall_details_timestamp.log
      • OPQRTinstall_summary_timestamp.log
      • PQactivation_details_timestamp.log
      • PQactivation_summary_timestamp.log
    • If you installed pureQuery Runtime Version 3.1 with Optim™ Performance Manager and ran the configuration tool, view the following additional log files:
      • PQconfiguration_details_timestamp.log
      • PQconfiguration_summary_timestamp.log

    The timestamp is the date and time of the installation.
