Preparing for Silent Mode Installation

Before you install Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for Batch, complete the following tasks:

•	Verify that enough disk space is available.

•	Verify the login ID has proper permission for silent installation.

•	Create a template file containing the required keyword settings.

Creating a Silent Mode Installation Template File

To create a template file for use in the silent installation process, you must use keywords as shown in Table 4‑1:

 

Table 4‑1 Template File Keywords 

For This Keyword . . .	Enter the Following Value . . .
INSTALLER_UI=	The mode of installation with the value of silent; the value is mandatory and unchangeable.
ORACLEHOME=	The full pathname of the Oracle Home directory of your choice.
USER_INSTALL_DIR	The full pathname of the installation directory.
INSTALL_SAMPLES=Y|N	Specifies whether sample applications are installed or not.
OVERWRITE=Y|N or OVERWRITE=y|n	If you are using silent mode installation over an existing version of Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for Batch, you must add this line to your template file. Any value other than "Y" or "y" will not overwrite the existing Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for Batch version and cancels the installation.
COBOL_COMPILER= MFCOBOL | COBOLIT | NOCOBOL	Choose using COBOL Compiler. MFCOBOL = Micro Focus COBOL compiler, COBOLIT = COBOL-IT compiler, NOCOBOL = No COBOL compiler. The default is MFCOBOL.
COBOLIT_DIR=	The full path name of COBOL-IT directory.

Sample UNIX Template

INSTALLER_UI=silent

ORACLEHOME=/home/user/oracle

USER_INSTALL_DIR=/home/user/oracle/artbatch12110

INSTALL_SAMPLES=Y

OVERWRITE=Y

COBOL_COMPILER=MFCOBOL

Installing Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for Batch on UNIX

To invoke the silent mode installation procedure on a UNIX system, you must do 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.

installer_name.bin -f 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.
