You can also run the installer in silent mode. This means that no panels are displayed during the install and there are no prompts for input. As when running the install in graphical mode, there are two ways to run the install silently.
set classpath=.\setup.jar;%classpath% jview run -silent
CLASSPATH=./setup.jar:$CLASSPATH export CLASSPATH java run -silent
setup.exe -is:silent -silent
Setupaix.bin -is:silent -silent
Setuplinux.bin -is:silent -silent
Setupsolaris.bin -is:silent -silent
Setuphp-ux.bin -is:silent -silent
By default the installer installs WebSphere MQ Everyplace in the following
directories on each platform:
Platform | Default installation directory |
---|---|
AIX | /opt/MQe |
Linux | /opt/MQe |
Solaris | /opt/MQe |
Win32 | \Program Files\MQe |
HP-UX | /opt/MQe |
To set a different installation directory for a silent install, append the -P MQe.installLocation flag to the install command as follows:
java run -silent -P MQe.installLocation="C:\my new install directory"
setup.exe -is:silent -silent -P MQe.installLocation= "C:\my new install directory"
When running the install silently you can specify an options file. The options file allows you to:
The following example options file sets the install to run silently, sets the install location to "C:\MQe", and chooses to install all features except the Palm feature.
#specify silent install -silent #set features to active -P Java.active=true -P Documentation.active=true -P CBindings.active=true -P Native.active=true -P Palm.active=false #Set the install location -P MQe.installLocation="C:\MQe"
Notes:
The following examples show how to run the installer with an options file:
java -cp setup.jar run -options C:\options.txt
setup.exe -options C:\options.txt
