  • 1.  How to patch in silent mode with the new way?

    Posted Jan 16, 2017 10:39 AM

    Hi,

     

    beginning with patch level 6.2.0.3101 the patch installer is a different than the ones before. The patch installer behaves more like the GA installer of a major version.

    So far so good. My question: If this is the case then

    • where do I find a silent varfile for the patch executable?
    • how does the call with a silent varfile looks like
    • where is a difference in the content for the NAC or the NES?
      • Or can I use one varfile for both components?
    • Do silent files change based on patch level?
      • Or can I use this one file for all upcoming patch calls?

     

    Thank you for your help

    Regards,

    Michael

     

    PS: I would love to understand the pattern rather than just having an simple example.

    Hi Michael

    1. Attached two example of varfile files (One for linux and one for windows) 
    2. The execution syntax should look like:
      <Installer file path> -q -varfile <varfile file path>
    3. As far as I know there is no different in var file for NAC or NES or between patch levels 
    4. Official documentation is not ready yet , Archer_Berryman - I think will be useful to add it.        

     

    Hope this help

    Thanks
