Installing Oracle TSAM Using Silent Installation

The following sections describe how to install Oracle TSAM using silent mode installation on both Windows and UNIX systems:

•	What Is Silent-Mode Installation?

•	Preparing for Silent Mode Installation

•	Creating a Silent Mode Installation Template File

•	Installing Oracle TSAM on Windows

•	Verifying Silent Mode Installation

What Is Silent-Mode Installation?

Silent mode is an installation UI mode useful for enterprise class systems. In Silent mode, Installation has no end-user interaction and runs either on the defaults provided by the developer or by providing a response file from which the installer retrieves the values for various installation variables used to control the install.

Preparing for Silent Mode Installation

Before you install Oracle TSAM, 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.

Note:

If you install Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) in silent mode, then you must uninstall it in silent mode.

Creating a Silent Mode Installation Template File

To create a template file for use in the silent installation process, you must use the following keywords:

 

Table 4‑1 Template File Keywords 

For This Keyword . . .	Description and value(s). . .
INSTALLER_UI (UNIX and Windows)	The mode of installation. The default is silent. Note: Do not modify this value.
CHOSEN_INSTALL_SET (UNIX and Windows)	Full, Agent, or Manager. The default is Full. Note: Oracle TSAM install set input is case sensitive. If entered incorrectly, “Full” installation set is selected by default.
ORACLEHOME (UNIX and Windows)	The full pathname of the Oracle Home directory of your choice.
USER_INSTALL_DIR (UNIX and Windows)	The full pathname of the directory where you want to install Oracle TSAM on your computer.
OVERWRITE (UNIX and Windows)	Overwrite existing installation (yes or no). The default is no. If you are using silent mode installation over an existing version of Oracle TSAM, you must add this line to your template file. This is a case-sensitive keyword; the value must be lowercase. Any value other than “yes” will not overwrite the existing Oracle TSAM version and cancels the installation.
DBTYPE Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager	BUNDLED, DERBY, ORACLE, SKIP Note: DBTYPE input is case sensitive and must be entered in UPPER CASE.
DBHOSTNAME	The database host name. Note: If DBTYPE=BUNDLED, the value should be "localhost" Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager DBTYPE=BUNDLED, DERBY or ORACLE
DBPORT	The database port. Note: If DBTYPE=BUNDLED, the value should be "1527" Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager DBTYPE=BUNDLED, DERBY or ORACLE
DBNAME	The database name Note: If DBTYPE=BUNDLED, the value should be "TSAM" Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager DBTYPE=BUNDLED, DERBY or ORACLE.
DBUSER	The database user name. The default is null.
DBPASSWORD	The database password. The default is null. Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager DBTYPE=DERBY or ORACLE
DBOVERWRITE	Overwrite an existing database (yes or no). The default is no. Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager
ADMINPASSWORD	Database administrator password. Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager
APPSERVERTYPE	The application server type (BUNDLED, TOMCAT, WEBLOGIC, SKIP). Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager Note: APPSERVERTYPE input is case sensitive and must be entered in UPPER CASE.
APPSERVERDIR	The application server directory pathname. Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager APPSERVERTYPE=TOMCAT or WEBLOGIC
ADMINURL	The WebLogic server access URL. The URL format is "hostname:port.” Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager APPSERVERTYPE=WEBLOGIC
WLSUSER	The WebLogic application server user name. Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager APPSERVERTYPE=WEBLOGIC
WLSPASSWORD	The WebLogic application server password. Requirement(s): Install set: Full or Manager APPSERVERTYPE=WEBLOGIC

Installing Oracle TSAM on UNIX

To invoke the silent mode installation procedure for Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) Manager on a UNIX system, execute 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.

•	Enter the following command:

sh <installer_name> -f path/installer.data

In the previous command, path is the full path to the variable data file and installer.data is the data file containing the required variables.

Installing Oracle TSAM on Windows

To invoke the silent installation procedure for Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) Manager on a Windows system, execute the following steps:

•	Create a file containing the required variables set to valid data.

•	At the command line prompt, go to the directory containing the installer executable.

•	Enter the following command:

sh <installer_name> –f path\installer.data

In the previous command, path is the full path to the variable data file and installer.data is the data file containing the required variables.

An initial window appears indicating that the installer is running. The amount of time to install in silent mode is approximately the same as interactive mode.

Verifying Silent Mode Installation

You can verify successful silent mode installation by checking the installed directory to see if all the Oracle TSAM binaries are listed.

If silent mode installation fails, check the following log files:

Windows:

%USERPROFILE%\tsam_silent_install.log

UNIX:

$HOME/TSAM11gR1_silent_install.log
