Prepare an Unattended Installation on UNIX

Unattended installation uses the ca-wa-installer.properties file to propagate the Web Agent installation set up to all Agents in your network. In this properties file, you define installation parameters, then copy the file and the Web Agent executable file to any web server in your network to run an unattended installation.

The ca-wa-installer.properties file is installed in the following location:

web_agent_home/install_config_info

The default parameters and paths in the file reflect the information you entered during the initial Web Agent installation.

To install the ca-wa-installer.properties file

  1. Run an initial installation of the Web Agent.
  2. Open the ca-wa-installer.properties file and modify the parameters.

    The parameters are as follows:
