Installing Adaptive Server in Unattended, Silent Mode

If you have more than one installation of Adaptive Server to perform, you can, after running the installer in GUI mode and recording the responses into a response file, edit the file to customize the responses. You can then use that response file to answer the installer when you run the installer in silent mode.

Prerequisites

Use setup.bin -r responseFileName to generate a installation response file during a console or GUI installation.

Task

Run the following, where responseFileName is the absolute path of the file name containing the installation options you chose:

setup.bin –f responseFileName -i silent
-DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true -DRUN_SILENT=true

Note: You must agree to the Sybase License Agreement when installing in silent mode. You can either:

Include the option -DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true in the command line argument.
Edit the response file to include the property AGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true.

Except for the absence of the GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of an installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in GUI mode with the same responses.
