Using the Configure Now Configuration Tables

The tables in this chapter have two columns: Label and State File Parameter, and Description. The Label and State File Parameter column contains the following information:

• Label. This is the text that identifies information in the pages of the interactive graphical installer, usually a label on an input field. The text-based installer uses similar terminology.

• State File Parameter. A state file parameter is the key that identifies the information in a silent installation state file. State file parameters are uppercase and appear in monospace font. For example, AS_ADMIN_USER_NAME.

A good way to see how the parameters are used is to examine the example state file in Appendix C, Example State File, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1 Installation Guide for UNIX.

The Description column describes the parameter listed in the Label and State File Parameter column. If a default applies to the parameter, the default value is listed. Default values apply to all installer modes, unless the description provides a separate value for a silent mode state file. State file values are case sensitive except where noted. Other information is provided as it applies to that parameter, such as examples, paths, or notes explaining anything you need to be aware of about that parameter.

If you are using this chapter as an aid for answering configuration questions posed by the installer during a Configure Now installation, do the following:

1. Locate the section in this chapter that describes that product component.

2. Find the table whose content matches the installer page being displayed. A table contains all the fields and questions contained on a single page of the installer.

3. If you are using this chapter to get information about parameters in a state file, do the following:

   • If you are using the guide online, use the HTML or PDF search feature to find the parameter string.

   • If you are using a printed book, refer to the index. The index contains an entry for each parameter name, either under the parameter name itself, or under the State File Parameters entry.
