Installing CA XCOM Data Transport for Oracle Solaris › Unattended Install

Unattended Install

To do an unattended install, first build a response file using the InstallAnywhere setup command. The command builds a response file that is tailored to your installation. You can build one response file and can use it on many systems. You need separate response files only if you want different options for the install on some machines. Then you can run an unattended InstallAnywhere installation using the setup command.

To run an unattended InstallAnywhere installation.

1. Change to the directory that contains the XCOM.bin file. The directory depends on the SNA stack you are using:
   • [CD Root Directory] – SunLink V9.1 or Brixton
   • [CD Root Directory]/SNAPIX – SNAP-IX

   Note: For TCP/IP only installations, either installation may be used.

2. Create a response file, by issuing the following command:

   sh XCOM.bin -r <response file path and name>
   

   Example:

   sh XCOM.bin -r /tmp/XCOM.properties
   

   Follow the on-screen instructions in the InstallAnywhere wizard, until you reach the Preinstallation Summary page, and then do one of the following steps:

   • In a GUI mode installation, click Cancel.
   • In a console mode installation, type quit.

   Note: If you do not specify the response file name with a path, the default response file is created with the name installer.properties located in the same directory as the XCOM.bin file.

3. Use the following command to run an install in silent mode.

   Note: See How to Specify Unique System ID and System Name Values before issuing the following command:

   sh XCOM.bin -i silent -f <response file path and name>
   

   Example:

   sh XCOM.bin -i silent -f /tmp/XCOM.properties
