Silent installation for Cognos Analytics on Linux installs Full Components regardless of specified setting in the response file

Troubleshooting


Problem

When installing Cognos Analytics 11.0.10 on Linux platform with silent mode, it is noticed that launching Cognos Configuration displays all components regardless of what entries are specified in the response file For example, response file contains following when user only wants to install Application Tier only BISRVR_CA_INSTALL=1 BISRVR_CA_TOOLS_INSTALL=0 USER_INSTALL_DIR=/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11 BISRVR_CUSTOM_FIRST=1 BISRVR_CUSTOM_EXPAND=0 BISRVR_FEATURE_DATATIER=0 BISRVR_FEATURE_APPTIER=1 BISRVR_FEATURE_GATEWAY=0 BISRVR_FEATURE_SAMPLES=0 #Install #------- -fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/Uninstall_IBM_Cognos_Analytics.lax=Ye s -fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/configuration/preserve/preserve.txt=Y es -fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/configuration/preserve/.ca_base_prese rve.txt=Yes -fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/UnixSetup.sh=Yes For silent (unattended) installation, batch script contains following commands For example. install_location\ca_srv_win64_11.0.10.18031213.exe -i silent -f location\response_filename Manual installation using GUI option is working as expected

Symptom

- Cognos Configuration is displaying all components including Content Store, Content Manager, Gateway URI entries

- Installation directory size is getting bigger as it is installing full components
