You can run a silent update of OpenEdge to update from an earlier version to the latest version without user interaction. The silent update uses a response file that is generated during an interactive update. The response file contains the configuration details and options that you selected during the standard update.
Note: You can modify the contents of the response file if necessary. However, Progress recommends you do not change the generated response file unless you have a specific requirement.
Prerequisites: Ensure that you have already generated a response file. For instructions on generating a response file, see:For details about the response file structure and parameters, see Response file contents for silent OpenEdge update.

To run a silent update, perform the following steps:
  1. Open a command-line interface as a user with administrative privileges:
    • On Windows, run the command prompt as an administrator.
    • On Linux, run the terminal as a root user.
  2. To run the silent update using the response file you created, enter:
    • On Windows: 
      path-to-install-media\setup.exe -psc_s [-notify]
-psc_f1=path\response-file [-psc_f2=path\logfile] [-hide_progress -hide_splash]

      For the command syntax details and examples, see Run the silent installation on Windows .

    • On Linux: 
      proinst -b path/install-ini-name -l path/logfile [-n]
      For the command syntax details and examples, see Run the silent installation on Linux.

    The silent OpenEdge update is completed. You can verify the status by reviewing the log file:
    • On Windows, review the log file, which is automatically created in the default Windows directory (C:\Windows), unless you specified a custom path during the update.
    • On Linux, review the log file in the directory you have specified during the update.
