Modifying Response Files

After you create a response file, you can modify it to customize the installation options for certain machines. For example, you might create a master silent file for all products, and then for each machine, change the location of the Middleware home and keep only the product components that you want to install on this machine.

To modify a response file:

  1. Open the response file in any text editor. The file is in XML format.
  2. Edit the file using the following options.

    • <HyperionHome>—Location of the Middleware home.

    • <SelectedProducts>—Product components to install to specific tiers. Make changes in <Product name>, <ProductComponent name>, <InstallTier>, and <Component>.

    • <Product name>—The name of the product. Enclose product names in quotes, as they are XML attributes.

    • <ProductComponent name>—The component of the product. Enclose component names in quotes, because they are XML attributes.

    • <InstallTier>—The installation tier for the component installation (Client, Service, WebApplication).

    • <Component> — The services to install.

  3. Save the file in XML format.
