You can run the JBossPostgreSQL utility in console or silent mode. Before running the utility in silent mode, you need to edit the properties file for the JBossPostgreSQL utility. Once you’ve edited the properties file, launch it with this command:
JBossPostgreSQL -i silent -f <path to the properties file>
For example:
JBossPostgreSQL -i silent -f /home/jdoe/idm-install-files/silent.properties
Here are the properties for a JBossPostgreSQL silent install:

JBossPostgreSQL installer might display a pop-up in silent mode on Windows PostgreSQL requires several Microsoft VC++ libraries when running on Windows. If these libraries are not installed on the Windows server, the PostgreSQL installer automatically installs them. When you run the JBossPostgreSQL installer in silent mode on Windows, a pop-up window appears for about three seconds while these libraries are being installed, if those libraries are not already installed on the machine.
If you do not want to specify the passwords in the silent.properties file, you can set the passwords in the environment instead. In this case, the silent installer will read the passwords from the environment, rather than from the silent.properties file. This can provide some additional security.
The following passwords need to be set for the User Application Installer:
NOVL_DB_PASSWORD
NOVL_DB_USER_PASSWORD
To set a password on Linux, use the export command, as shown in the following example:
export NOVL_DB_USER_PASSWORD=myPassWord
To set a password on Windows, use the set command, as shown in the following example:
set NOVL_DB_USER_PASSWORD=myPassWord
