Running the Composite Platform Installation Tool silently
If you choose to run the Composite Platform Installation Tool silently, you must
specify the appropriate values in the silent input text file. When you run the
command and specify the silent input text file, the tool runs the installation and
configuration automatically.
On AIX or Linux systems, ensure that the gunzip program is available in /usr/bin
before you run the installation task.
To run the Composite Platform Installation Tool silently:

1. Log on to the server, as appropriate for your operating system:
Option Description
Windows Log on as a member of the local
Administrators group.

2. Navigate to the Composite Platform Installation Tool software.

3. Edit the license agreement values in a text file in the package. This editing step
accepts the license agreements for all the software components that are installed
by the Composite Platform Installation Tool.
a. If the CDroot/cpit.properties file is on a CD or DVD device, copy the file
to a local file system.
b. Open the CDroot/cpit.properties file on the local file system, and change
the LICENSE_ACCEPTED_# parameter to TRUE for each software component.
c. Save and close the file.

4. If the cpit_silent_install.txt file is on a CD or DVD device, copy the file to
a local file system.

5. Edit the cpit_silent_install.txt file on the local file system with the values
for your installation:
a. Open cpit_silent_install.txt for editing.
b. In the file, set LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE.
c. Set USER_SELECTED_FOLDER to the full path for the download directory
you created, for example, /download_path/Platform_Downloads.
d. Save and close the file.

6. Run the installation tool:
Option Description

path_to_file\cpit_silent_install.txt Installation
The installation processes can take approximately two to three hours. You can
ignore or close any component administrative tools that display during the
installation.

7. If the installation does not complete, check the cpit_install_stderr.txt and
cpit_install_stdout.txt log files for details. These files are located in the /tmp
directory on AIX or Linux, or in the TEMP folder on Windows.
