To install FTM for High Value Payments in silent mode:
  1. Change to the directory where the FTM for High Value Payments installation repository .zip file is located.
  2. Edit the response file. Make sure that you specify the path names in the format appropriate for your target operating system. The examples show path names for AIX®.
    • Enable the section of the response file that corresponds to your target operating system. The tags in a section for a specific operating system are surrounded by a beginning and ending comment. Remove the entire line for each of the comments. The beginning and ending comments for an operating system have text that is similar to what is shown the following example:
      *** Delete this line for your target operating system installation
    • To set the installation repository, locate the following tag for your operating system and replace your_ftm_HVP_repository_directory with the directory that contains the .zip file:
      <repository location='your_ftm_HVP_repository_directory'/>
    • If your FTM for High Value Payments installation directory is different than the default directory, locate the following tag for your operating system and replace the default directory name with your installation directory.

  3. Save the response file.
