Installing in silent mode

Edit online

You can install Data Protection for SAP for Oracle for DB2® in silent mode using a response file. An installation that runs in silent mode suppresses the installation wizard. Instead, user data entry and status messages are displayed in the command line window.

Procedure

To run a silent or unattended installation complete the following steps.

Create a response file during an installation in either graphic or console mode by using option -DRECORDFILE denoting the response file name:
```
./version-TIV-TSMERPDB2-platform.bin [-i console] -DRECORDFILE=properties file
```
```
./version-TIV-TSMERPORA-platform.bin [-i console] -DRECORDFILE=properties file
```
Note: This command is for a UNIX™ system. For a Windows™ system, use the corresponding .exe file with the same options.
ACS only: To copy the files directly to specific IBM® DB2 instances after you install in the main installation directory, set the following variable with a comma-separated list of existing IBM DB2 instances. If you do not want to copy the files, do not type in any DB2 instances.
```
DB2_INSTANCES_SELECTED=db2inst1,db2inst2
```
Start the executable file with the -i silent option (silent mode) and the -f option that denotes the file name of the response file:
```
./version-TIV-TSMERPDB2platform.bin -i silent -f properties file
      
```
```
./version-TIV-TSMERPORA-platform.bin -i silent -f properties file
      
```
Note: This command is for a UNIX system. For a Windows system, use the corresponding .exe file with the same options.
The properties file specification must contain a full path.
