Silent install mode is used primarily with the Sybase Data Integration Suite. You can also use silent mode to install Sybase Search if you only have command line access to a server. Silent install mode uses options files to automatically pass parameter settings to the installer. The silent installation process requires no interactive steps.
For silent install mode, Sybase Search provides sample options files named after each installation type. The options files contain configuration parameters that you can set when using silent install mode to install Sybase Search.
Table A-1 lists the options files and the configuration parameters relevant to each installation type.
