The InstallShield silent mode, sometimes referred to as an “unattended installation,” allows you to install the software with a response file to set default values, without any interaction required on your part.
Follow the same steps as you would for a standard console mode installation, but invoke the InstallShield wizard at the command prompt as follows:
On Microsoft Windows platforms, enter:
setupwin32 -silent -options MRA.resp -W SybaseLicense.agree=true
where MRA.resp is the full path to the response file.
On UNIX platforms, enter:
./setup_type -silent -options MRA.resp -W SybaseLicense.agree=true
where:
setup_type is one of the following strings that corresponds to the UNIX platform type:
setupaix
setuphp11x
setupsolaris
setuplinux
MRA.resp is the full path to the response file.
The -W SybaseLicense.agree=true command
option makes your agreement with the Sybase License Agreement the
default option in the silent mode installation.
In the event of an installation error, see “Installation troubleshooting”.
To verify that the software components were installed correctly, see “Verifying the installation”.
After you complete the Mirror Replication Agent software installation, you must complete the following post-installation tasks:
Set up the SYBASE environment on the Mirror Replication Agent host machine. See “Setting up the SYBASE environment” for more information.
Register the Mirror Activator license certificate with the Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) license manager. See “Registering license certificates” for more information.
