Installing Replication Agent in Silent Mode with a Response File

Perform a silent installation of Replication Agent using the response file you created.

The installation program silent mode, sometimes referred to as an “unattended installation,” allows you to install the software with a response file to set default values, without any interaction required on your part.

Note: You must specify values for ltm_admin_user and ltm_admin_pw in the response file before you invoke the installation program.
Invoke the installation program from the command prompt:
  • On Microsoft Windows:
    setupConsole.exe -f responseFileName -i silent -DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true
    where responseFileName is the full path to the response file, for example, C:\RAX\ResponseFile.txt.
    Warning!   Sybase recommends that you use setupConsole.exe, which runs in the foreground. setup.exe runs in the background, giving you the false impression that the installation has terminated immediately, without a completion status. This may result in duplicate installation attempts.
  • On UNIX:
    ./setup.bin -f responseFileName -i silent 
       -DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true
    where responseFileName is the full path to the response file, for example, /home/sybase/RAX/ResponseFile.txt.

To verify that the software components were installed correctly, see "Installation Verification."
