How to Run an Unattended Mode Installation

After the Web Agent Option Pack is installed on one system, you can automate installations on other Web or application servers using the Web Agent Option Pack's unattended mode installation. An unattended mode installation lets you install or uninstall the Web Agent Option Pack without any user intervention.

To run an unattended mode installation, you must:

Run an installation in GUI or Console mode to install the unattended installation properties file.
Modify the properties file.
Run the unattended installation.

This chapter covers the following topics:

Prepare an Unattended Mode Installation

An unattended mode installation uses the ca-wa-opack-installer.properties file to propagate the Option Pack installation set-up across all servers in your network. You can define the installation parameters in the properties file then copy the properties file and the Web Agent Option Pack executable file to any applicable server in your network. After the files are copied, you can run an unattended installation.

To prepare an unattended mode installation

Run an initial installation of the Web Agent Option Pack in GUI or Console mode.
This installation will install the ca-wa-opack-installer.properties file.
Open the ca-wa-opack-installer.properties file, and if needed, modify the settings.
The properties file is in the directory web_agent_opack_home/install_config_info.

USER_INSTALL_DIR

Specifies the Web Agent Option Pack's installation location.

USER_REQUESTED_RESTART

Specifies restarting the machine after installation.

Note: These default values were saved in the properties file during the initial installation.
Save the properties file.
