Silently installing the DWA server

Use silent installation to install the IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® - Web Access (DWA) server. Silent installation does not support the configuration options that are available during a standard installation.

Before you begin

Copy the following text into a text file, and replace [path] with the path to the directory where you want to install the server. To specify the path with backslashes, add an extra backslash escape character to each backslash; for example: USER_INSTALL_DIR=C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\Rational\\Doors Web Access\\9.5.2.0.
#Has the license been accepted
#-----------------------------
LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE

#Choose Install Folder
#---------------------
USER_INSTALL_DIR=[path]
Save the file as installer.properties in the same directory as the DWA server installer.

About this task

Silent installation runs using either the defaults provided by the installer or through modification to the installer.properties file.

Procedure

  1. Open a command window, and navigate to the directory where the DWA server installer and the installer.properties files are located.
  2. Type installer -i silent, where installer is the name of the DWA server installation file.
    Note: Use the -f switch to specify a different properties file.
