installer is shell script not working


Hi Guys,
I have one installer shell script which normally get from the dev team to install the app and it works fine for years (in IAX) the same installer/script iam trying to run in Linux 7.2 but it stuck somewhere which I cannot debug, can you help me to point out where it stuck .

here is the snippet.

Code:
## Function used to parse through the command-line arguments.
parse_cmdline_args ()
{
    # If command-line arguments were provided, parse them.
    #
    while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
        # -tempdir flag was used to specify BIFF_install_temp_folder
        #
        if [ $1 = "-tempdir" ]; then
            shift
            # Remove any trailing directory separators
            BIFF_install_temp_folder=`echo "$1" | sed 's/\/*$//'`
            shift
        # -ui flag was used to specify BIFF_installer_ui
        #
        elif [ $1 = "-ui" ]; then
            shift
            # Set the installer UI
            if [ $1 = "console" ]; then
                BIFF_installer_ui="console"
            elif [ $1 = "swing" ]; then
                BIFF_installer_ui="swing"
            elif [ $1 = "silent" ]; then
                BIFF_installer_ui="silent"
            else
                #do nothing (use default setting)
                echo "Warning: Unrecognized installer UI mode: "$1
                echo "Using default installer UI instead (${BIFF_installer_ui})"
            fi
            shift
        # if an invalid flag was provided,  show a warning message
        else
            echo "Unrecognized flag: $1"
            shift
            shift
        fi
    done

} # parse_cmdline_args

if [ ! "${DISPLAY}" = "" ]; then
    BIFF_installer_ui="swing"
fi

if [ -f INSTALLER.ERROR ]; then
    echo Previous installation did not complete.
    echo [r]esume from failure point, [s]tart over from the beginning, or [q]uit? r/s/q:
    read INPUT
    if [ "$INPUT" = "q" ]; then
        exit 0;
    fi
    if [ "$INPUT" = "r" ]; then
        if test ! -f "installer.properties.orig" ; then
            cp installer.properties installer.properties.orig
        fi
        cp installer.properties.cache installer.properties
    fi
    if [ "$INPUT" = "s" ]; then
        cp installer.properties.orig installer.properties
    fi
fi

echo "Please wait while the installation tool is starting up..."
if [ "${JAVA_HOME}" = "" ]; then echo "ERROR: JAVA_HOME environment variable needs to be set to run this application" else # - Update PATH variable to use the JVM stored at JAVA_HOME as the 1st available JVM PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH} export PATH if [ "${BIFF_install_temp_folder}" = "" ]; then ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -jar install.jar -i ${BIFF_installer_ui} else if [ -d $BIFF_install_temp_folder ]; then echo "Installer temporary disk space location is now: ${BIFF_install_temp_folder}" ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -Dlax.nl.env.iatempdir=${BIFF_install_temp_folder} -jar install.jar -i ${BIFF_installer_ui} else echo "ERROR: -tempdir must define an existing directory" fi fi fi # - cleanup installer temp dir if [ -f cleanup ]; then mv cleanup cleanup.sh chmod 744 cleanup.sh ./cleanup.sh rm ./cleanup.sh fi # - restore original installer properties on successful installation if [ ! -f INSTALLER.ERROR ]; then if test -f "installer.properties.orig" ; then cp installer.properties.orig installer.properties fi fi
when i runs the this script output is as below, no errors no warning it hangs there more than 1 hour but normally within a minute it ask for the next action normally , dont know what went wrong it envrionment issue or somewhere else.

Please wait while the installation tool is starting up...

on moreover it when i ran the script with debug mode gor below , not sure it is related with environment or script is having an issue.

Code:
+ unset BIFF_INSTALL_HOME
+ BIFF_installer_ui=console
+ '[' '!' 10.250.29.222:46.0 = '' ']'
+ BIFF_installer_ui=swing
+ parse_cmdline_args
+ '[' 0 -gt 0 ']'
+ '[' -f INSTALLER.ERROR ']'
+ echo 'Please wait while the installation tool is starting up...'
Please wait while the installation tool is starting up...
+ '[' /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.121-2.6.8.0.el7_3.x86_64 = '' ']'
+ PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.121-2.6.8.0.el7_3.x86_64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/oraclient/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/client_1/bin
+ export PATH
+ '[' '' = '' ']'
+ /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.121-2.6.8.0.el7_3.x86_64/bin/java -jar install.jar -i swing

What happens if you run the below on its own?
Code:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.121-2.6.8.0.el7_3.x86_64/bin/java -jar install.jar -i swing

Problem has been resolved by skipping the display/console tool [here Exceed]
just proceed with terminal based installation and continued by without knowing what has haappened with the display , it is something related with SSH trusting display host or something else...
Thread can be marked as close.

Thanks for your kind assistance.
