Running a silent installation

You run a silent installation of the product by using a response file that you record or the template response file that is provided after the component installation.

About this task

When you run a silent installation, you use the response file that you recorded by using Installation Manager or the edited template response file that is in the <InstallDir>/doc/silentdirectory. Run a silent install on each workstation that requires an installation of your selected components. You can create as many response files as you need. For example, one response file for Decision Server Rules, another response file for Decision Center, and another for Decision Server Insights.

Procedure

  1. Open a command line and go to the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
  2. Go to the directory eclipse\tools.
  3. To install the product components with response files, type the following command:
    On Windows, as an administrator:
    imcl.exe -accessRights admin -input \path\to\<response file> -nosplash -silent -acceptLicense
    On Windows, as a user:
    imcl.exe -accessRights nonAdmin -input \path\to\<response file> -nosplash -silent -acceptLicense
    On Linux, as an administrator:
    ./imcl -accessRights admin -input /path/to/<response file> -nosplash -silent -acceptLicense
    On Linux, as a user:
    ./imcl -accessRights nonAdmin -input /path/to/<response file> -nosplash -silent -acceptLicense 

What to do next

You can add these commands to a script file to automate further the procedure.
