Installing a Client (Command-Line Interface)
Summary: This procedure describes how to install the client by using the command-line
interface. The setup command-line interface is provided as a consistent and
faster means to install the client. To use the command-line interface, you
must first edit the initialization file to make product selections and to specify
directory locations for the files. After you complete this task, you can use this
initialization file for every installation in your organization. This type of
installation ensures that all users connected to a network install the same set
of products by entering a single command.
Step 1 Copy the client images to your hard drive or to a shared network drive. The
client images are located in the
client directory.
Step 2 Modify the PDB_Install.ini file to make product and directory selections.
When editing the file, specify 0 to disable a selection and specify 1 to enable
a selection. The only requirement when editing this file is that you must
select a product in the
[Selections] section.
Figure 9-1 shows an example
PDB_Install.ini file. In this example, the user
selected the CHANGE MANAGER product and specified
c:\pdbclient\6.2.01
as the installation folder.
