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.
You add settings, such as the port number and the location of the
database, as parameter values.
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.
