Summary
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
We can use value 'GUI' to start the configuration wizard with GUI mode and 'Y' to disable DB validation like this:
C:\Program Files\HP\ALM>run_configuration.bat GUI Y
