[Info-ingres] Upgrade patch problem

Wed Jul 4 17:03:08 UTC 2018

Hi Marty,

You're right that the interactive mode of install.sh is not very
interactive. There is a message about it in the help but it's not perhaps
very prominent. Really if you want to do an install with non-default values
via the rpm installer you either need to use the GUI installer or set up a
response file. If you've got 50 installs to do I suspect the later is going
to be a better bet.

Alternatively there is an ingbuild version of the upgrade patch. Which can
also use a response file if needed.
