The syntax for running the OpenEdge Silent Installation utility in batch mode follows:
Identifies that a batch installation will be performed, and specifies the pathname and filename of the .ini file that you select to run the Silent installation. You can use the response.ini file, the install.ini file, or another .ini file that you create and name.
-l <path>/<logfile-name>
Identifies that a log file will be created, and specifies the pathname and filename of the installation log file in which the installation events will be logged. If no filename is specified, the OpenEdge Installation Utility uses the default log filename of install.log.
If no directory is specified to which the log file is to be saved, the Installation Utility saves it to the directory identified by the first environment variable it finds among the following: $TMP, $TEMP, or $TMPDIR.
-n
Indicates that the batch installation will include a progress meter, displaying details about the current installation phase and percent complete.
