The command you use to initiate, or play back, the response file is the same regardless of the data input you use. After you enter the command to start a silent installation, the OpenEdge Silent installation program runs without your intervention.

Syntax

The syntax for running the OpenEdge silent installation program in batch mode follows: 

proinst -b path/install-ini-name -l path/logfile [-n]
proinst
Command that initiated an OpenEdge installation.
-b path/install-ini-name
Performs a batch installation, specifying the full path of the .ini file to be used for the silent installation. You can use the response.ini file, the install.ini file or another .ini file that you create.
-l path/logfile
Creates a log file, optionally specifying the full path of the log file in which the installation events are logged. By default, the log file install.log is created in the directory identified by the first environment variable that the installer finds among the following: $TMP, $TEMP, or $TMPDIR.
-n
Specifies that the batch installation includes a progress indicator, displaying details about the current installation phase and completion status.

Example

The following command executes silent installation on Linux platform:

proinst -b /test/install.ini -l /log/test.log
