You can install Replication Server using a response file in combination with a console or silent installation. You must first create the response file.
You must provide the absolute path name for the response
file you create.
To create a response file, do one of the following at the command line:
Enter the following command, where REP.response is name you choose for the response file:
setup.exe -options-template REP.response
InstallShield creates an options template called REP.response. Edit the template with the values you want to use during installation.
Enter the following command at the command line, where REP.response is a name you choose for the response file:
You must provide the absolute path name for the response
file you create.
setup.exe -options-record REP.response
InstallShield runs the installation in GUI mode and captures all user choices to a file called REP.response. You can also specify the -console option to get the same results.
You can use REP.response for future installations of Replication Server, either as is or edited for the new installation.
Specify the installation location, where path is the full path and file name:
-P installLocation=path
Do not use special characters for the path name, such as blanks or periods.
Specify the setup type, where installation_type specifies the type of installation (Full, Typical, or Custom):
-W setupTypes.selectedSetupTypeId=installation_type
If you specify either the Full or Typical installation, you do not need to uncomment the individual features; these features have been predefined as installed.
If you choose the Custom installation, you must uncomment the desired features and set their values to “true.”
The last line in the response file allows you to specify if you want to start a sample Replication Server. You must uncomment this line and specify either “yes” or “no” (case sensitive; use all lowercase):
-W ConfigureReplicationServer.Yes-or-No="no"
