By saving installation configuration information into a response file during the initial GUI installation, you can perform subsequent installations of Adaptive Server using a silent—or unattended—method.
To create a response file when installing in GUI or console mode, specify the
-r command line argument. The -r argument records your responses to the
installation wizard prompts and creates a response file when the InstallAnywhere
wizard exits. The response file is a text file that you can edit to change any
responses prior to using it in any subsequent installations. You can find a sample response file at installer image/sample_response.txt.
- Create a response file during GUI installation by specifying the -r command line argument, and, optionally, specifying the name of your response file:
setup.bin -r response_file_name
where:
- -r – specifies the command line argument.
- (Optional) response_file_name – is the absolute path of the file into which the installation information is stored, such as /tmp/responsefile.txt.
Note: The directory path you specify must already exist.
- Verify that the response file includes the passwords for the Adaptive Server sa
login, Sybase Control Center admin, and SCC agent admin by including these lines
in the file:
SY_CFG_ASE_PASSWORD=<ASE sa password>
CONFIG_SCC_CSI_SCCADMIN_PWD=<SCC admin password>
CONFIG_SCC_CSI_UAFADMIN_PWD=<SCC agent admin password>
Each password must be at least six characters long. The sccadmin and uafadmin
logins need not be the same as the sa password.
