After you have generated and edited your response file, you can perform a silent installation.
Take the following steps to perform a silent installation:
1. From a command-line prompt, navigate to the directory where you saved the product file. Alternatively, place the product file directory on your path before proceeding to the next step.
The product file has the format PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin, where nn is the version of the product.
2. Execute a silent installation by entering the following command and pressing ENTER.
where response_file is the full path of the response file you have created and edited. For example, if the response file is named pipeline.response and resides in the directory /home/users/johndoe, you would enter:
3. The installation proceeds without any further user intervention unless you enter an incorrect value on the console or in the response file, in which case an error is displayed and installation stops.
4. Verify the installation by accessing the Hybrid Data Pipeline user interface from a browser. The login page should appear. For example:
https://<myserver>:8443/
where for a standalone installation:
<myserver> is the fully qualified hostname of the machine where you installed Hybrid Data Pipeline.
where for a load balancer installation:
<myserver> is the fully qualified hostname or IP address of the load balancer.
After logging in, administrators can verify product version information by selecting About from the question mark drop-down menu. For more information on retrieving version information, refer to "Get Version Information" in the Progress DataDirect Hybrid Data Pipeline User's Guide.
Refer to installation log files for a record of any problems that may have occurred during the installation. See Server installation log files for details.
Note: Silent installation creates a file named "custom" in the installer launch directory. This file is a resource bundle properties file containing key value paired messages, and is created by the Third Party Software (InstallAnywhere) that is used to build the HDP server installer. Note that having this file created after silent installation is normal and this does not indicate any issue. Currently there is no way to avoid the creation of this file and it can be deleted once installation is completed.
What to do next
During installation of the Hybrid Data Pipeline server, four configuration and certificate files are generated. For a standalone deployment, these files are located in the Hybrid Data Pipeline installation directory <install_dir>/redist. For a load balancer deployment, these files are stored in a key location specified during installation. Before installing a component such as the ODBC driver, the JDBC driver, or the On-Premises Connector, these files must be copied to the installer directory of the component you are installing.
Note: If an SSL certificate is not specified in a load balancer response file, the installer will not generate the configuration and certificate files required for the installation of the On-Premises Connector and the ODBC and JDBC drivers.
