Installing Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize using the console mode

The console mode allows you to install Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize using the command-line window. You can select various options in the command-line window to complete tasks such as selecting the products to install or selecting the home directory for the installation.

Before you begin

Before you install Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize, ensure that you have configured the following.
  • An application server profile
  • A database schema

To display the installer screens correctly in console mode, configure your terminal software to support UTF-8 character encoding. Other character encodings, such as ANSI, do not render the text correctly, and some information is not readable with these encodings.

Procedure

  1. Open a command-line prompt window and navigate to the directory where you have saved the Unica installer and the Unica Campaign installer.
  2. Complete one of the following actions to run the Unica installer.
    • For Windows™, enter the following command:

      HCL_Unica_installer_12.0.0.0 -i console

      For example, HCL_Unica_Installer_12.0.0.0_win.exe -i console

    • For UNIX™, invoke the HCL_Unica_installer_12.0.0.sh file.

      For example: HCL_Unica_installer_12.0.0.0.sh

  3. Follow the directions that are displayed in the command-line prompt. Use the following guidelines when you must select an option in the command-line prompt:
    • The default options are defined by the symbol [X].
    • To select or clear an option, type the number that is defined for the option, and then press Enter.
    For example, suppose that the following list displays the components that you can install:
    • 1 [X] Unica Platform
    • 2 [X] Unica Campaign
    • 3 [ ] Unica Interact
    • 4 [ ] Unica Plan

    If you want to install Unica Plan, and do not want to install Unica Campaign, enter the following command: 2,4

    The following list would then display the options that you selected:

    • 1 [X] Unica Platform
    • 2 [ ] Unica Campaign
    • 3 [ ] Unica Interact
    • 4 [X] Unica Plan
    Note: Do not clear the option for Unica Platform unless you have already installed it.
  4. The Unica installer launches the Unica Campaign installer during the installation process. Follow the instructions in the command-line prompt window of the Unica Campaign installer.
  5. After you enter quit in the Unica Campaign installer command-line prompt window, the window shuts down. Follow the instructions in the command-line prompt window of the Unica installer to complete the installation of Campaign.
    Note: If any error occurs during the installation, a log file is generated. You must exit the installer to view the log file.
