Summary

When we nevigate in ALM12.x installation folder, we can see run_configuration.bat. This is the configuration wizard startup file for ALM12.x like run_after_finish.bat file in ALM11.x

Question

If we run run_configuration.bat file directly to start up the ALM configuration wizard, we will get the following error:

C:\Program Files\HP\ALM>run_configuration.bat
missing UI mode (the default UI mode is "gui")

If we open run_configuration.bat by editor tool, we can find that we need to specify two values for the following two parameters to start the ALM configuration wizard for ALM12.x:

UI_MODE 
DISABLE_DB_VALIDATION

C:\Program Files\HP\ALM>run_configuration.bat GUI Y
