B Silent Properties File

When you install Oracle WebCenter Collaboration, the installer creates the file ptcollab_silent.properties in the directory where Oracle WebCenter Collaboration is installed. Once you have created a silent properties file on one computer, you can reuse it when you install Oracle WebCenter Collaboration on other computers so that you do not have to re-enter deployment information every time you use the installer. During a "silent" install, the information required by the installation dialogs is read from the properties file.

A silent install may be run from the command line as follows:

<full_Path_To_Installer>/WebCenterCollaboration_<version> –f
<full_Path_To_Properties_File>/ptcollab_silent.properties

For example:

<full_Path_To_Installer>/WebCenterCollaboration_10.3.0.0.0 - f
<full_Path_To_Properties_File>/ptcollab_silent.properties

A silent install can be useful for distribution of the product across a uniform set of machines.
