Creating the Properties File

Informatica provides a sample properties file that includes the parameters that the installer requires. You can customize the sample properties file to specify the options for your installation.

The name of the sample properties file is

SilentInput.properties

. The file is located in the installer root directory of the installation DVD or the installer download location. After you customize the file, save the file with the same name in the same directory. Then run the installer in silent mode.

Browse to the installer root directory.

Find the sample

SilentInput.properties

file.

Create a backup copy of the

SilentInput.properties

file.

Use a text editor to open the file and enter the values of the installation parameters:

The following table describes the installation parameters:

Property Name	Description
INSTALL_TYPE	Indicates whether to install or upgrade TDM. If the value is 0 the installer performs an installation. If the value is 1 the installer performs an upgrade.
TDM_USER_INSTALL_DIR	Absolute path for the directory in which to install TDM. You must install TDM in the Informatica installation location. The directory names in the path must not contain spaces or the following special characters: @\|* $ # ! % ( ) { } [ ] , ; '
