Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 Guide for IBM WebSphere Portal Server 5.1.0.2

agentadmin --install

This section demonstrates the format and use of the agentadmin command with the --install option.


Example 2–1 Command Format: agentadmin --install

The following example illustrates the format of the agentadmin command with the --install option:


./agentadmin --install [--useResponse] [--saveResponse] filename

The following arguments are supported with the agentadmin command when using the --install option:


--saveResponse

Use this argument to save all supplied responses to a state file, or response file, represented as filename in command examples. The response file, or state file, can then be used for silent installations.

--useResponse

Use this argument to install a J2EE agent in silent mode as all installer prompts are answered with responses previously saved to a response file, represented as filename in command examples. When this argument is used, the installer runs in non-interactive mode. At which time, user interaction is not required.

filename

Use this argument to specify the name of a file that will be created as part of the processing of this command. This file stores your responses when this argument is used in conjunction with the --saveResponse argument and provides your responses when this argument is used in conjunction with the --useResponse argument.


Example 2–2 Command Usage: agentadmin --install

When you issue the agentadmin command, you can choose the --install option. With the --install option, you can choose the --saveResponse argument, which requires a file name be provided. The following example illustrates this command when the file name is myfile:


./agentadmin --install --saveResponse myfile

Once the installer has executed the preceding command successfully, the responses are stored in a state file that can be used for later runs of the installer.

If desired, you can modify the state file and configure the second installation with a different set of configuration parameters.

Then you can issue another command that uses the ./agentadmin --install command and the name of the file that you just created with the --saveResponse argument. The difference between the previous command and this command is that this command uses the --useResponse argument instead of the --saveResponse argument. The following example illustrates this command:


./agentadmin --install --useResponse myfile

With this command, the installation prompts run the installer in silent mode, registering all debug messages in the install logs directory.
