This section describes the standalone installation of BEA AquaLogic Service Registry and all settings. To install the registry, type the following at a command prompt:
java -jar BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar
and follow the wizard panels. If you have associated javaw
with *.jar
files on Windows, just double-click the icon for the file BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar
The following sections describe how to start the installation program (for console and silent modes) on a Windows platform:
For information about installing in graphical mode, see Running the Installation Program in Graphical Mode.
Notes: | If you are installing the software on a Windows system that supports more than one monitor, you must disable all but one monitor before starting the installation program. |
To start the console-mode installation process on a Windows platform, follow these steps:
|
java – jar BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar
-mode=console
-log=
full_path_to_log_file
option in the command line to create a verbose installation log. For example:Note: | BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar -mode=console -log=C:\logs\server_install.log |
Note: | For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log. |
After a few moments, a BEA Installer window opens and the installation program begins to install the software.
For details about silent-mode installation, see What Is Silent-Mode Installation?.
To start the silent-mode installation process on a Windows platform, follow these steps:
silent.xml
file that defines the configuration settings normally entered by a user during an interactive installation process, such as graphical-mode or console-mode installation. For information about creating a silent.xml
file, see Creating a silent.xml File for Silent-Mode Installation.Note: | Incorrect entries in the silent.xml file can cause installation failures. To help you determine the cause of a failure, we recommend that you create a log file when you start the installation. |
java -jar filename
.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=
path_to_silent.xml
Here, filename.exe
is the name of the BEA software installation file, and path_to_silent.xml
is the full pathname of the silent.xml
file.
Note: | You can also include the -log= full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log. For example: |
Note: | java – jar BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=C:\silent.xml -log=C:\logs\server_install.log |
Note: | For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log. |
A BEA Installer window is displayed, indicating that the files are being extracted. No other prompt or text is displayed.
For more information, see Running the Installation Program in Silent Mode.
The BEA Products installation program requires a Java run-time environment (JRE) to run. A JRE is bundled in the Windows installation program, and in some UNIX installation programs (those with filenames ending in .bin
). For other UNIX platforms, the installation program does not include a JRE. Filenames for these installation programs end in .jar
. To run the .jar
installation programs, you must have an appropriate version of a JDK installed on your system, and include the bin
directory of the JDK at the beginning of your PATH
system variable.
Notes: | It is important that you use a JDK because the installation process assigns values to JAVA_HOME and related variables to point to this directory. All scripts installed by your installation program use this JDK by default, including scripts to start sample applications, the Configuration Wizard, and other development tools. |
Note: | To run graphical-mode installation, your console must support a Java-based GUI. If the installation program determines that your system cannot support a Java-based GUI, it automatically starts running in console mode. For details, see Running the Installation Program in Console Mode. |
The following sections describe how to start the installation program on UNIX platforms (for console and silent modes) using filenames that end in .jar:
For information about installing in graphical mode, see Running the Installation Program in Graphical Mode.
To start the graphical-mode installation process for installation files with names ending in .jar
, follow these steps:
bin
directory of the appropriate JDK to the beginning of the PATH
variable definition on the target system. For example:
PATH=
JAVA_HOME
/bin:$PATH
export PATH
Here JAVA_HOME
represents the full path to the JDK directory.
java -jar BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar
java -jar BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar
Note: | You can also include the -log= full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log. For example: |
Note: | BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar -log=/home/logs/BEA_install.log |
Note: | For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log. |
The installation program begins to install the software.
To start the console-mode installation process for installation files with names ending in .jar
, follow these steps:
bin
directory of the appropriate JDK to the beginning of the PATH
variable definition on the target system. For example:
PATH=
JAVA_HOME
/bin:$PATH
export PATH
Here, JAVA_HOME
represents the full path to the JDK directory.
java -jar
filename
.jar -mode=console
Here, filename
.jar
is the name of the BEA Products installation file, for example, BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar
.
Note: | You can also include the -log= full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log. For example: |
Note: | java -jar server920_generic.jar -mode=console |
Note: | For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log. |
For details about silent-mode installation, see What Is Silent-Mode Installation?.
To start the silent-mode installation process for installation files with names ending in .jar
, follow these steps:
silent.xml
file that defines the configuration settings normally entered by a user during an interactive installation process, such as graphical-mode or console-mode installation. For information about creating a silent.xml
file, see Creating a silent.xml File for Silent-Mode Installation.Note: | Incorrect entries in the silent.xml file can cause installation failures. To help you determine the cause of a failure, we recommend that you create a log file when you start the installation. |
bin
directory of the appropriate JDK to the beginning of the PATH
variable definition on the target system. For example:
PATH=
JAVA_HOME
/bin:$PATH
export PATH
Here, JAVA_HOME
is the full path of the JDK directory.
java -jar
filename
.jar -mode=silent
-silent_xml=/path_to_silent
.xml
Here, filename
.jar
is the name of the BEA Products installation file (for example, BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-XXX.jar
, where XXX
represents the version number of the software you are installing) and path_to_silent.xml
is the full path to the silent.xml
file.
Note: | You can also include the -log= full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log. For example: |
Note: | java -jar BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=/home/silent.xml -log=/home/logs/BEA_install.log |
Note: | For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log. |
A BEA Installer window is displayed, indicating that the files are being extracted. No other prompt or text is displayed.
For more information, see Running the Installation Program in Silent Mode.
If you launch the installation from the command line or from a script, you can specify the -log
option to generate a verbose installation log. The installation log stores messages about events that occur during the installation process, including informational, warning, error, and fatal messages. This type of file can be especially useful for silent installations.
Note: | You may see some warning messages in the installation log. However, unless a fatal error occurs, the installation program completes the installation successfully. The installation user interface indicates the success or failure of each installation attempt, and the installation log file includes an entry indicating that the installation was successful. |
To create a verbose log file during installation, include the -log=
full_path_to_log_file
option in the command line. For example:
java -jar BEA-aqualogic-service-registry-300.jar -log=C:\logs\server_install.log
The path must specify a file. You cannot create a folder simply by including a name for it in a pathname; your path should specify only existing folders. If your path includes a nonexistent folder when you execute the command, the installation program does not create the log file.
For details about running the installation program, see one of the following, depending on your selected installation mode:
