Installing Unica Platform silently

Use the unattended or silent mode to install Unica Platform multiple times.

Before you begin

Before you install Unica Platform, make sure that you have configured the following elements:

An application server profile
A database schema

About this task

When you install Unica Platform by using the silent mode, response files are used to obtain the information that is required during installation. You must create response files for a silent installation of your product. You can create response files by using one of the following methods:

Using the sample response files as a template for creating your response files. The sample response files are included with your product installers in the ResponseFiles compressed archive. For more information about sample response files, see Sample response files.
Running the product installers in the GUI (Windows™) or X Window System (UNIX™) mode or the console mode before you install the product in the silent mode. One response file is created for the Unica suite installer, and one or more response files are created for your product installer. The files are created in the directory that you specify.
Important: For security reasons, the installer does not save database passwords in the response files. When you create response files, you must edit each response file to enter database passwords. Open each response file and search for PASSWORD to find where you must edit the response file.

When the installer runs in the silent mode, it looks for the response files in the following directories sequentially:

In the directory where the Unica installer is saved
In the home directory of the user who installs the product

Make sure that all response files are in the same directory. You can change the path where response files are read by adding arguments to the command line. For example: -DUNICA_REPLAY_READ_DIR="myDirPath" -f myDirPath/installer.properties

Procedure

Use the following command for Windows™:

hcl_unica_installer_full_name -i silent

For example:

HCL_Unica_Installer_12.1.0.0_win.exe -i silent

Use the following command for Linux™:

hcl_unica_installer_full_name _operating_system .bin -i silent

For example:

HCL_Unica_Installer_12.1.0.0_linux.bin -i silent
