Installing Unica Collaborate silently
Use the unattended or silent mode to install Collaborate multiple times.
Before you begin
Important: Before you start silent mode to install Collaborate, make sure that the available
temporary space on the computer where you install Collaborate is more than three times the size of
the Collaborate installer. Make sure
that the HCL Unica installer and the Collaborate installers are in the same directory
on the computer where you want to install Collaborate.
Before you install Collaborate, make sure that you have configured the following elements:
- An application server profile
- A database schema
About this task
When you install Collaborate 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 HCL 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 HCL Unica installer is saved
- In the home directory of the user who installs the product
