Installing an integrated installation package (IIP) silently refers to installing the IIP from the command line without the use of the IIP installation wizard. Included installation contributions might not install silently based on contribution settings.
You must use the Installation Factory to create an IIP before you can install the IIP. See Developing and installing integrated installation packages for more information about creating an IIP.
The IIP installation wizard can be suppressed altogether so that it does not display when the IIP is run. The contribution invocations will be invoked using the built-in options that were specified by the installation factory user when the IIP was created, or using options specified on the IIP command line which will override the built-in ones (assuming the IIP creator did not disallow them to be overridden). It is important to note that although the IIP wizard will not display, each contribution in the IIP may or may not display independently based on the options you selected during IIP creation. In this case a true silent installation of an IIP means that there is neither an IIP installation wizard nor any contribution installation wizards.
As of Version 6.1.0.13 you must keep the version levels of the application server and any installed feature packs synchronized to the same maintenance level. If you have any feature packs installed, then it is recommended that you use the Update Installer to synchronize your environment before installing any additional Installation Factory packages. In fact, you will either be blocked from installing or prompted to upgrade during the installation of a feature pack CIP if your versions are not the same. If you are prompted and do not provide the proper maintenance packages you will be blocked from installing the CIP.
You can slip install, or update, an existing application server that contains one or more feature packs with an IIP as long as all packages in the IIP are at the same maintenance level. You can alsoscratch install an IIP containing the application server and one or more feature packs onto a machine with no existing application server as long as all included packages are at the same maintenance level. Read the Working with feature packs topic for more information. You must use Installation Factory version 6.1.0.17 or later if you want to use an IIP to update a feature pack environment.
If you are installing the Feature Pack for Web Services for the first time, then it is recommended that you create a CIP containing the feature pack and the most recent fix pack. Otherwise if you have already installed the Feature Pack for Web Services with the regular installer, you need to include a mandatory interim fix before installing a CIP containing any feature pack fix packs. See Installing and configuring multiple feature packs for additional information regarding feature pack installation and other considerations.gotchaUse this procedure to perform a silent installation of the product.
