Installing BEA SALT Using Silent Installation

To create a template file for use in the silent installation process, you must use the following keywords:

Table 4-1 Template File Keywords
For This Keyword . . .	Enter the Following Value . . .
`INSTALLER_UI= (UNIX and Windows)`	The mode of installation. The default is `silent`; do not modify this value.
`BEAHOME= (UNIX and Windows)`	The full pathname of the BEA Home directory of your choice.
`USER_LIC_FILE= (UNIX and Windows)`	The full pathname of the BEA SALT 1.1 license file on your computer.
`OVERWRITE=yes` `(UNIX and Windows)`	If you are using silent mode installation over an existing version of BEA SALT, you must add this line to your template file. This is a case-sensitive keyword; the value must be lowercase. Any value other than "yes" will not overwrite the existing BEA SALT version and cancels the installation.

Sample Windows Template

INSTALLER_UI=silent
### BEA Home Directory ###
### NOTE: backslashes must be escaped. ###
BEAHOME=C:\\bea
### User License File ###
USER_LIC_FILE=d:\\r90\\BJ\\bld\\udataobj\\lic.txt

Installing BEA SALT on Windows

To invoke the silent installation procedure on a Windows system, execute the following steps:

Create a file containing the required variables set to valid data.
At a command line prompt go to the directory containing the installer executable.
Enter the following command:

Installer_name.exe  -f  full_path\installer.data

In the previous command, full_path is the full path to the variable data file and installer.data is the data file containing the required variables.

An initial window appears indicating that the installer is running. The amount of time to install in silent mode is approximately the same as interactive mode.

Installing BEA SALT on UNIX

To invoke the silent mode installation procedure on a UNIX system, execute the following steps:

Create a file containing the required variables set to valid data.
Mount the CD-ROM. Mount commands vary depending on your system configuration. Refer to the platform data sheets for Tuxedo 8.1 or Tuxedo 9.1, or contact your System Administrator for the specific command for your system.
At a command line prompt go to the directory containing the installer executable.
Enter the following command:

sh  installer_name.bin  -f  full_path/installer.data

In the previous command, full_path is the full path to the variable data file and installer.data is the data file containing the required variables.

Verifying Silent Mode Installation

You can verify successful silent mode installation by checking the TUXDIR directory to see if all the SALT binaries are listed.
