Ingbuild Command–Install Ingres
The ingbuild command installs Ingres.
Ingbuild runs in interactive mode if you specify no command line arguments or only ‑mkresponse or -exresponse.
Ingbuild runs in batch mode (without interruption) if you specify a distribution medium. It also automatically starts any needed setup programs for the installed products, unless the ‑nosetup option is specified.
This command has the following format:
ingbuild [flags] [distribution_medium]
flags
Specifies zero or more install flags, as follows:
-all
Installs all products (default). This flag is valid when a distribution medium is specified.
-install=list
Installs only those products you list. Use a comma to separate each item in the list. This flag is valid when a distribution medium is specified.
-products
Displays a list of the products on the distribution medium, which you can then specify with the ‑install flag or -version flag. This flag should not used in combination with other flags.
-version[=list]
Displays the version number of the instance (when specified without list) or displays the version of the requested packages (when specified with list). Use commas to separate items in the list. This flag should not used in combination with other flags.
-nosetup
Does not run setup programs. This flag is valid when a distribution medium is specified.
-express
Runs setup programs using default values. This flag is valid when a distribution medium is specified.
-acceptlicense
Accepts Ingres license and bypasses license prompt. This flag is valid when a distribution medium is specified.
-ignore
Ignores any errors encountered during file copy. This flag is valid when a distribution medium is specified.
-help
Displays ingbuild command options. This flag is valid when a distribution medium is specified.
-mkresponse
Creates a response file that contains install parameters, but does not install the product. This flag is valid only in an interactive install, and is mutually exclusive with the -exresponse flag.
-exresponse
Reads installation parameters from a response file during an interactive install. This flag is valid only in an interactive install and is mutually exclusive with the -mkresponse flag.
-file=filename
Identifies a response file name other than the default for use with -mkresponse or -exresponse.
Default: ingrsp.rsp
distribution_medium
Specifies the name of the distribution medium on which the software to be installed resides. A batch, rather than interactive, install is executed. This parameter is required with the -all, -install, -express, ‑ignore and ‑nosetup flags. If a distribution medium is provided with no flag, -all is assumed.
The distribution medium is one of the following:
• The ingres.tar file on the CD‑ROM or from the “CD-ROM image” saveset, with full path (for example: /cdrom/ingres.tar)
• A physical device, such as a magnetic tape drive
• A disk file containing an ingres.tar image copied from the distribution medium
Examples: ingbuild command
• This command displays ingbuild options:
./ingbuild -help
• This command lists all product names before installing them:
./ingbuild -products
• This command installs all products:
./ingbuild -all distribution_medium
