You can create installation scripts that contain preferred
settings and then run the scripts to silently install the server and
client across the network. You might silently install if you want
to install the client and server again without running the client
and server installers again.
Before you begin
You can silently install on Windows systems
only. If you plan to silently install on Windows Vista, Windows 2008, or Windows 7 systems, make sure that the user
account control is off.
About this task
Script your Rational® product
installations in this order:
- Any of these products: Rational DOORS®, IBM® Rational Synergy, IBM Rational Change, and IBM Rational Tau
- Rational DOORS Analyst Add On
- All other products and integrations
To silently install, you run each product installer from a
command prompt. The command includes the path to the directory where
the client or database server setup files are stored. You add settings,
such as the installation log file, port number, and the location of
the database, as parameter values. These settings are shown in italics
in the following examples.
If errors occur, a silent installation
program records status information in the install.log file.
In the script, you can specify any log name and location.
