Description:
============
Recording answers to installation questions for later use in a silent installation.

Environment:
===========
TIBCO EMS 5.x.x and above

Symptoms:
========
The answers to the installation questions not recorded.

Cause:
=====
The option “-options-record” used in EMS versions prior to EMS 5.0 work fine. However, for EMS 5.x.x and above the installer has changed. EMS 5.x.x and above uses the universal installer and does not support this option during installation. In the TIBCO documentation for EMS 5.x.x and above there is no reference to this property as it is no longer supported.

Resolution:
==========
When performing a silent installation, the installer uses the options that have been set in the file “TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent”.  This file can also be used for the installation of other EMS servers.

1). To use the TIBCO universalInstaller-sol-x86.bin file in console mode run the following command:

TIBCOUniversalInstaller-sol-x86.bin –console

2). To use the silent install mode and create a response file, use the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file.

(a). Copy the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file and rename the file.

(b). Using a text editor, open the copied file and update the installation location and features to install.

(c).Run the installer using the following on the command line:
TIBCOUniversalInstaller -silent -V responseFile="myfilename.silent"

If you are using the TIBCO UniversalInstaller.silent file rather than a copy, you do not need to supply the file name and can use the following command line:
TIBCOUniversalInstaller -silent.
