Creating a response file
Before you can silently install or upgrade Sterling B2B Integrator, you must create a response file. You can create a response file by using one of the sample response files or by modifying a recorded response file.
When using the sample response files or files that you might have recorded, you must modify values for parameters specific to your installation environment and also based on whether you are installing initial or additional Sterling B2B Integrator nodes.
For more information, see Sample response files and Recording a response file.
Considerations
- Parameters specific to your installation environment.
- Whether it is a non-clustered or clustered environment.
- Whether you are installing initial or additional Sterling B2B Integrator nodes.
- Whether you are updating Sterling B2B Integrator.
- Server and the environment changes for systems where you install the additional nodes.
Using the response file to upgrade
user.sb.UPGRADE
to true and provide the details for the
existing database. You must also provide the user.sb.HOME_DIR
which is the path for
the home directory for the Sterling B2B Integrator installation based on the
upgrade scenario that is applicable for your setup.
Upgrade type | Options to select during upgrade process |
---|---|
Upgrading from v5.2.6.x and using a new application server | user.sb.HOME_DIR is the path for the home directory on the new application
server for the Sterling B2B Integrator
upgrade. |
Upgrading from v5.2.6.x on the same application server but in a different directory | user.sb.HOME_DIR is the path for the home directory on the application
server for the Sterling B2B Integrator upgrade.
This directory must be different from the directory that was used for the previous installation. |
Upgrading from v5.2.6.x on the same application server and the same directory | user.sb.HOME_DIR is the path for the home directory on the application
server for the Sterling B2B Integrator upgrade.
This directory must be the same as the directory that was used for the previous installation. |
Upgrading from v5.2.5.x or earlier and using a new application server | user.sb.HOME_DIR is the path for the home directory on the new application
server for the Sterling B2B Integrator
upgrade. |
Upgrading from v5.2.5.x or earlier on the same application server but in a different directory | user.sb.HOME_DIR is the path for the home directory on the application
server for the Sterling B2B Integrator upgrade.
This directory must be different from the directory that was used for the previous installation. |
Upgrading from v5.2.5.x or earlier on the same application server and the same directory | user.sb.HOME_DIR is the path for the home directory on the application
server for the Sterling B2B Integrator upgrade.
This directory must be the same as the directory that was used for the previous installation. |
