Silent mode: Installing IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher

The IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher can be installed silently as a plug-in for CAD applications. The silent installation integrates with the IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher installation program by using a command prompt and the silentinstall.properties file.

Before you begin

Download the silentinstall.properties file.

If there is an existing silentinstall.properties file, update the file.

If you are installing for all users, you need administrator privileges.

If you are integrating with Autodesk AutoCAD, then you need a JRE installed in the C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7 directory or you need to specify a valid 64-bit JVM or JRE in the IA_x64_JAVA_PATH.

If you are integrating with Bentley MicroStation, then you need a JRE installed in the C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre7 directory or you need to specify a valid 32-bit JVM or JRE in the IA_x86_JAVA_PATH.
