Messages displayed during a silent installation

The following content provides information about the messages displayed during a silent installation.

No message is displayed where they might be considered necessary

The problem: No error or informational message is displayed in the following circumstances:

During a silent installation, if the IBM JDK or JRE is not found or does not have the correct permission, the installation process fails without any error messages.
In silent installation on UNIX or Linux systems, no information is displayed in the Java console.
When installing the data collector using an invalid option file (that is, the file does not exist), the installation stops without displaying an error message. No error message is displayed in the trace_install.log or log.txt file.

The cause: It is part of the design of the InstallShield and the purpose of silent installation mode that there is no output on the console and no user interaction during the installation. Specifying an options file that does not exist causes a failure prior to the installer initialization, so there is no opportunity for the installer to write the error to a log file.
The solution: You can attach -is:log log file to your command line, where log file is the directory and the file name for the log file. For example: ./setup_DC_lin.bin -silent -options ./silent/DC61_netweaver.opt -is:log log.txt
