Installing the Tuxedo System
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 BEA License Agreement. You neither see a copy of the BEA 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 8.1 or earlier software, see Upgrading the BEA Tuxedo System to Release 9.1 and follow the instructions given there. Then return here to continue your BEA Tuxedo installation.
If you are planning to use BEA Tuxedo 9.1 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
file, modify the values for the keywords shown in the following table to create your desired configuration.
The mode of installation. The default is |
|
The full pathname of the BEA Home directory of your choice. For details about the BEA Home directory, see BEA Home Directory. |
|
The full pathname of the product directory of your choice. Warning: Running a previous Tuxedo version in conjunction with Tuxedo 9.1 on a Windows system requires that the product directories for both versions do not have the same name. |
|
The fully qualified domain name of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server of your choice; for example, |
|
The port number through which the local machine communicates with the LDAP server; for example, |
|
The port number through which the local machine communicates with the TLISTEN server; for example, 1357. |
|
The distinguished name of the base object for search in the LDAP server; for example, |
|
The full pathname of the LDAP filter file on your machine; for example, C:\bea\tuxedo9.1\ |
|
A |
|
The full pathname of the BEA Tuxedo 9.1 license file on your machine; pathname must end with |
|
The chosen installation set. You must set this value to one of the following options: Notes: The valid options are case sensitive and should be coded exactly as defined below for proper installation. Use of invalid options will result in improper installation. Spaces should not be included after the install set name. If there are spaces after the install set name, the installation process uses the default mode
No customizing of install sets is possible with silent-mode installation. For a description of install sets, see Install Sets. |
Note: Keywords LDAP_HOSTNAME
, LDAP_PORTID
, LDAP_BASE_OBJECT
, LDAP_FILTER_FILE
, TLISTEN_PORT
, and TLISTEN_PASSWORD
are optional. Include these keywords and their values only if you select Server Install or CORBA Client Install and you want to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Otherwise, comment these lines out by preceding them with hash marks (#).
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:
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 9.1 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
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 9.1 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 9.1 Installation Binary Files.
