Installing Adaptive Server Using a Response File

Unattended or silent installations are typically used to update multiple systems across the

enterprise.

To perform a silent, or "unattended" installation, run the installer and provide a response file

that contains your preferred installation configuration.

Creating a Response File

By saving installation configuration information into a response file during the initial GUI

installation, you can perform subsequent installations of Adaptive Server using a silent—or

unattended—method.

Note: Adaptive Server version 15.7 ESD #2 uses a rearchitected installation program that is

incompatible with response files generated for versions 15.0.3 and earlier. Do not use response

files from these earlier versions; instead, create a new one from a 15.7 ESD #2 installation.

To create a response file when installing in GUI or console mode, specify the -r command line

argument. The -r argument records your responses to the installation wizard prompts and

creates a response file when the InstallAnywhere wizard exits. The response file is a text file

that you can edit to change any responses prior to using it in any subsequent installations. You

can find a sample response file at installer image/sample_response.txt.

Create a response file during GUI installation by specifying the -r command line argument,

and, optionally, specifying the name of your response file:

setup.bin -r response_file_name

where:

• -r – specifies the command line argument.

• (Optional)

response_file_name

– is the absolute path of the file into which the

installation information is stored, such as /tmp/responsefile.txt.

Note: The directory path you specify must already exist.

Verify that the response file includes the passwords for the Adaptive Server sa login,

Sybase Control Center admin, and SCC agent admin by including these lines in the file:

SY_CFG_ASE_PASSWORD=<ASE sa password>

CONFIG_SCC_CSI_SCCADMIN_PWD=<SCC admin password>

CONFIG_SCC_CSI_UAFADMIN_PWD=<SCC agent admin password>
