Silent Install Reponse Files

Sybase CEP installers support silent installation, also known as unattended installation. This is done by running the installer with a response file.

Response files are installer properties files that are generated by capturing the default variable values and user responses from the execution of an installer. You can use the record of these responses to control subsequent installer executions. Silent installation is recommended if you are installing multiple identical or near-identical instances of Sybase CEP Server or Studio.

To generate the response file during installation, run:

<install_launcher_name> –r <response file> [-i console]

Where <response file> is the response file that is generated. The specified file name is an absolute path.

Sample response file:
