SAP BI 4.2 SP7 installation parameters problem

[former_member771316]

Hello,

We are upgrading from SAP BI 4.2 SP5 to 4.2 SP7, with a silent installation.

When we want to fill the installation file, we run this command:

./setup.sh -w ./response_dev_full.ini

Normally we are supposed to be able to fill in our configuration information as we go along.

The script gives us an error without allowing us to enter our configuration items:

/usr/software/source/SapBI4.2_sp7/setupexe -launchedFromSH -w ./response_dev_full.ini

Missing required parameter -InstallDir . Exiting ...

Finished, return code is 0

It forces us to put the installation parameter (InstallDir), while we just want to fill in the parameters without launching the installation right away.

Can you help us?

Thanks

Yet, again, I have fixed your tag. Please do review community guidance page.

The error is valid and you need to specify InstallDir.
The silent install parameters are recorded from actual install process, so it has to launch. You simply can cancel right before install starts, after all parameters are filled.
Just like Install guide says.

Thank you for your reply !

We used this command : ./setup.sh -InstallDir <InstallDir_Path> -w ./response.ini
