The following sections describe how to install BEA Tuxedo using silent installation on both Windows and UNIX systems:
Silent installation reads the settings for your configuration from a text file that you create prior to beginning the installation. Manual intervention is not necessary during the installation process. Silent installation works on both Windows and UNIX systems.
Silent installation is a way of setting installation configurations only once and then using those configurations to duplicate the installation on many machines.
Note: | Using silent installation implies your consent to the License Agreement. You neither see a copy of the Software License Agreement nor have any means to accept the terms of the agreement. |
If you are upgrading from BEA WebLogic Enterprise or BEA Tuxedo 9.1 or earlier software, see Upgrading the BEA Tuxedo System to Release 10.0 and follow the instructions given there. Then return here to continue your BEA Tuxedo installation.
If you are planning to use BEA Tuxedo 10.0 in conjunction with a previous Tuxedo version on a Windows system, see BEA Installation Program on page 1-9.
The silent installation process has two primary steps:
For the detailed procedure, see Creating a Template File. Two sample template files are provided in Windows Template File and UNIX Template File.
For the detailed procedure, see Invoking the Silent Installation Process on a Windows System and Invoking the Silent Installation Process on a UNIX System.
To create a template file for use in the silent installation process, follow these steps:
installer.properties
. installer.properties
file, modify the values for the keywords shown in the following table to create your desired configuration.
The full pathname of the BEA Home directory of your choice. For details about the BEA Home directory, see BEA Home Directory.

No customizing of install sets is possible with silent-mode installation. For a description of install sets, see Install Sets.
|
Notes: | Keywords: LDAP_HOSTNAME , LDAP_PORTID , LDAP_BASE_OBJECT , LDAP_FILTER_FILE are optional. |
Note: | Include these keywords and their values only if you want to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Otherwise, comment these lines out by preceding them with hash marks (#). |
Note: | Keywords: TLISTEN_PORT , and TLISTEN_PASSWORD are also optional |
Note: | Include these keywords and their values only if you select Server (server-only installation). |
In the template files, comment lines are preceded by hash marks (#). The installer program does not read any line beginning with a hash mark.
Installing the software using silent installation takes the same amount of time as a standard installation. During silent installation, an initial installation program window appears briefly, indicating that the installation has started.
To invoke the silent installation process on a Windows system, follow these steps:
The Windows XP system supports only BEA Tuxedo client components.
Administrator
or as a member of the Administrator
group.You need administrative privileges to install BEA Tuxedo server components on a Windows system. If you are going to install only BEA Tuxedo client components, you do not need administrative privileges.
For disk space requirements, see BEA Tuxedo 10.0 Platform Data Sheets. For important disk space allocation information, see File and Database Management and Disk Space Allocation.
prompt> filename
.exe -f
path
\installer.properties
where filename
is the name of the BEA Tuxedo installer file, and path
is the full or relative pathname of the installer.properties
file.
Note: | If a file named installer.properties is present in the same directory as the installer (for example, tuxedo81_win.exe ), it will be supplied automatically in silent mode. However, if installer.properties is in a different directory, you may use the -f command line option to specify the properties file. For example, filename.exe -f path\ installer.properties |
prompt> filename
.exe -f
path
\installer.properties
where filename
is the name of the BEA Tuxedo installer file specific to your platform, and path
is the full or relative pathname of the installer.properties
file.
Installing the software using silent installation takes the same amount of time as a standard installation. During silent installation, a startup message appears followed by an “Installing . . .” message, indicating that the installation has started.
To invoke the silent installation process on a UNIX system, follow these steps:
For disk space requirements, see BEA Tuxedo 10.0 Platform Data Sheets. For important disk space allocation information, see File and Database Management and Disk Space Allocation.
prompt> sh
filename
.bin -f
path
/installer.properties
where filename
is the name of the BEA Tuxedo installer file, and path
is the full or relative pathname of the installer.properties
file.
Note: | If a file named installer.properties is present in the same directory as the installer (for example, tuxedo81_sol.bin ), it will be supplied automatically in silent mode. However, if installer.properties is in a different directory, you may use the -f command line option to specify the properties file. For example, filename.exe -f path/ installer.properties |
prompt> sh
filename
.bin -f
path
/installer.properties
where filename
is the name of the BEA Tuxedo installer file specific to your platform, and path
is the full or relative pathname of the installer.properties
file. For more information see, Tuxedo 10.0 Installation Binary Files.
