The InstallShield 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.
Follow the same steps as you would for a standard console mode installation, but invoke the InstallShield wizard at the command prompt:
On Microsoft Windows:
setupwin32Console.exe -silent -options RAX.resp -W SybaseLicense.agreeToLicense=true
where RAX.resp is the full path to the response file.
WARNING! When you run a silent installation, Sybase recommends that you use the setupwin32Console.exe executable, which runs in the foreground. The normal setupwin32.exe executable runs in the background, giving you the false impression that the installation has terminated immediately, without a completion status. This could result in duplicate installation attempts.
On UNIX:
./setup_type -silent -options RAX.resp -W SybaseLicense.agreeToLicense=true
where:
setup_type is one of these strings that corresponds to the UNIX platform type:
setupaix
setuphp11x
setupsolaris
setuplinux
RAX.resp is the full path to the response file.
The -W SybaseLicense.agreeToLicense=true command
option makes your agreement with the Sybase License Agreement the
default option in the silent mode installation.
In the event of an installation error, see “Installation troubleshooting”.
To verify that the software components were installed correctly, see “Verifying the installation”.
After you complete the Sybase Replication Agent software installation, you must set up the SYBASE environment on the Sybase Replication Agent host machine. For more information, see “Setting up the SYBASE environment”.
