The installation configuration file is created when you use the savestate option with the setup command to start a interactive installation. During the interactive installation, your input is collected and stored in the configuration file you specified. This forms the template for silent installation, which you can use later to install the product on one or more machines. If needed, you can modify the installation configuration file.
The following topics are addressed:
The syntax for creating an installation configuration file is as follows:
For the graphical method:
./bundle_filename -savestate filename
For the command-line method:
./bundle_filename -console -savestate filename
Refer to Installation Methods for more detailed information.
An installation configuration file looks similar to the following example.

You can modify the installation configuration file by editing the variables and values described in Table 1–3.
Table 1–3 Installation Configuration File Variables
Variable Name |
Valid Values (if applicable) |
Content |
Comments |
---|---|---|---|
defaultInstallDirectory |
Default installation directory path | ||
currentInstallDirectory |
Selected installation directory path |
You can specify an environment variable which will be resolved at runtime. First set/export SUN_APPSVR_HOME. Solaris OS example: export SUN_APPSVR_HOME=/myname/myinstallation. In the installation configuration file, provide the environment variable as the installation directory. For example: currentInstallDirectory = $SUN_APPSVR_HOME$/myappsvr |
|
SELECTED_COMPONENTS |
List of product components selected for installation |
Modification is not recommended. |
|
USE_BUNDLED_JDK |

JDK_LOCATION |
JDK path |
Preinstalled JDK path, relevant only if USE_BUNDLED_J2SE is set to FALSE. |
