Chapter 3: Installing Sybase Replication Agent

Installing in silent mode

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 RAX.resp
    -W SybaseLicense.agree=true
```
where RAX.resp is the full path to the response file.
On UNIX platforms, enter:
```
./setup_type -silent -options RAX.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
- RAX.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”.

Post-installation tasks

After you complete the Sybase Replication Agent software installation, you must complete the following post-installation tasks:
