Run an Unattended Installation (Web Agent Option Pack)

Prior to running an unattended installation, you should have:

• completed an initial Web Agent Option Pack installation
• modified the nete-wa-opack-installer.properties file, if necessary

You can now use the nete-wa-opack-installer.properties file to run subsequent Web Agent Option Pack installations.

Note: You can run an unattended installation to reinstall the Web Agent on the same system where you initially performed an installation in GUI or console mode.

To run an unattended installation

1. From a system where the Web Agent Option Pack is already installed, copy the following files to a local directory on your system.
   • Executable file

     Windows: nete-wa-opack-6qmr6-win32.exe

     UNIX: nete-wa-opack-6qmr6-operating_system.bin

   • Properties file

     nete-wa-opack-installer.properties file from web_agent_opack_home/install_config_info

   Important! If you are running this wizard on Windows Server 2008, run the executable file with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.

2. Open a console window and navigate to the location where you copied the files.
3. Run the Agent executable using the -f and -i silent options, as follows:

   agent_executable -f properties_file -i silent

   Assuming that you run the installation from the directory where the executable and properties file are located, the command syntax is shown in the following examples:

   Windows example:

   nete-wa-opack-6qmr6-win32.exe -f nete-wa-opack-installer.properties -i silent

   Note: If you are not at the location where the executable and properties file reside, specify the full path to these files. If there are spaces in the directory paths, enclose the entire path with quotation marks.

   Solaris example:

   ./nete-wa-opack-6qmr6-sol.bin -f nete-wa-opack-installer.properties -i silent

   The status dialog box displays, which shows the unattended installation in process.

   When the installation is complete, you return to the command prompt.

4. Check to see if the installation completed successfully by looking in the CA_SiteMinder_Option_Pack_v6qmr6_for_Web_Agent_ InstallLog.log file, located in the web_agent_opack_home/install_config_info directory. This log file contains the results of the installation.
