Description
When running a silent installation of TIBCO Business Directory, an option file which includes key-value pairs with user details can be used in-place of user input at the time of installation to complete the installation process. An example of the option file is as shown below:
# Modify install directory and all port number references # mode=unattended install_directory=/opt/TIBCO/BD2 server_port=9210 repository_admin_password=repopassword bd_admin_password=bdpassword encryption_password=encryptionpassword unique_Id=58c9454e883ff5135f4bc55589820c36However, the execution of the BD installer with the option file fails as it is unable to accept the flag: bd_admin_password for the BD Server application password. Below is the error message:
[sid@dv-vdi-x06052 ~]$ ./TIB_tdv_bd_8.1.0_linux_x86_64.bin --optionfile option Error: There has been an error. Unknown option: --bd_admin_password Use --help to get a list of valid options
Issue/Introduction
Silent installation of TIBCO Business Directory on Linux fails with 'Unknown option: --bd_admin_password'
Environment
Linux Operating System
Resolution
(1) Run the --help command to know the default Business Directory Server application password flag for Linux installer. 
Above screenshot of --help shows the flag to be mentioned as: server_admin_password instead of bd_admin_password
(2) Modify the option file:
# Modify install directory and all port number references # mode=unattended install_directory=/opt/TIBCO/BD2 server_port=9210 repository_admin_password=repopassword server_admin_password=bdpassword encryption_password=encryptionpassword unique_Id=58c9454e883ff5135f4bc55589820c36
Save the changes in the file. Option file needs to be saved with .properties extension.
(3) Run the installer again.
Once BD Server installation completes, server_admin_password can be provided during login to the installed BD Server.
