Silently installing DOORS on a Windows system
You can create installation scripts that contain preferred
settings and then run the scripts to silently install the server and
client across the network. You might silently install if you want
to install the client and server again without running the client
and server installers again.
Before you begin
About this task
Script your Rational® product installations in this order:
- Any of these products: IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS), IBM Rational Synergy, IBM Rational Change, and IBM Rational Tau
- DOORS Analyst Add On
- All other products and integrations
To silently install, you run each product installer from a command prompt. The command includes the path to the directory where the client or database server setup files are stored. You add settings, such as the installation log file, port number, and the location of the database, as parameter values. These settings are shown in italics in the following examples. In each example, replace 9.version with the version of DOORS, as shown in your installation directory.
If errors occur, a silent installation program records status information in the install.log file. In the script, you can specify any log name and location.
