Installing: Creating the Configuration Properties File for Silent Installations

Creating the Configuration Properties File for Silent Installations

Use the sample file in this topic to set up your configuration properties file. Copy the file to the directory where you are going to install Java CAPS.

Note - When installing using Silent mode, the scripted file, file.properties, is automatically generated by the Java CAPS Installer if the product has already been installed.

To comment out bundles and features you do not want to install, place a hash (#) symbol at the beginning of the relevant lines. You must set the following variables:

installername	The name of the installation executable file.
`USER_JDK__HOME`	The directory where your JDK software is located.
`USER_INSTALL_DIR`	The directory where you are installing Java CAPS.
`REPOSITORY_NAME`	The name of the computer on which you are installing the Repository. You can change the default repository of `repository1` but do not use simply “repository” because assigning a name that is the same as the component name in lowercase can cause connection problems.
`STCMS_OS_TYPE`	The name of the operating system on which you are installing the Sun Java JMS IQ Manager. Possible values are:
	`solx86`	Solaris 10 x86 (32/64-bit), Intel
	`solamd64`	Solaris 10 x86 (64-bit), AMD
	`solaris64`	Solaris 10 (64-bit), SPARC
	`aix32`	IBM AIX 5L 5.2 and 5.3 (32-bit)
	`aix64`	IBM AIX 5L 5.2 and 5.3 (64-bit)
	`linux7`	Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3, 4, and 5 (32/64-bit), Intel
	`linuxamd64`	Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3, 4, and 5 (64-bit), AMD
	`redhat5_64`	Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Advanced Server (Intel and AMD x86-64)
	`suse8`	SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10 (32/64-bit), Intel
	`win32`	Windows (32-bit)
	`donotinstall`	Do not install

In the sample file, APPSERVER stands for the Sun Java System Application Server, and EM stands for Enterprise Manager.

You can set the file to install only runtime components or only design-time components.

To install only runtime components:
- Change the install set from Complete to Custom (CHOSEN_INSTALL_SET=Custom).
- Set the runtime components that you want. The runtime components are Sun Java System Application Server, Repository, and Sun JMS IQ Manager.
- Comment out components that you do not want to install, such as NetBeans.
To install only design-time components:
- Change the install set from Complete to Custom (CHOSEN_INSTALL_SET=Custom).
- Ensure that NetBeans is set.
- Comment out components that you do not want to install, such as Repository.
