Using the GlassFish ESB Installation CLI

Generating the State File for Silent Installations

In order to run a silent command line installation, you must first do a full GUI installation. The GUI installer generates a state file that provides all of the user-entered parameters that the installer requires. This section provides a procedure for generating the state file for silent installation. After you generate the silent installation state file, note its location so that you can reference it when you launch the silent installation.

After creating a configuration properties file, you are ready to perform a silent CLI installation. For more information, see Installing GlassFish ESB Silently Using CLI.

To Generate the State File for Silent Installations

From the command line, run the GlassFish ESB GUI installer with the --record option, specifying where you want to save the state file. For example:
```
glassfishesb-full-installer.sh --record /home/jdoe/glassfishesb-state.xml
```
Note –
For detailed information about running the GUI installer, see Using the GlassFish ESB Installation GUI.

When the GUI installer is finished, run the GlassFish ESB uninstaller and remove the GUI installation.

Note –
For detailed information about running the GlassFish ESB uninstaller, see Uninstalling GlassFish ESB.

Using a text editor or XML editor, open the state file and verify that the installation properties correspond to those that you entered during the GUI installation. Here is an example of the .xml state file:

Ensure that items such as usernames, passwords, filepaths, and so on are correct, save any changes, and close the state file.
