Creating the Installation Configuration File (Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Update 2 Installation Guide)

Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Update 2 Installation Guide

Creating the Installation Configuration File

The installation configuration file is created when you use the savestate option with a 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:

Syntax for Creating the Installation Configuration File

The syntax for creating an installation configuration file is as follows:

For graphical method: ./bundle_filename -savestate filename

For command-line method: ./bundle_filename -console -savestate filename.

Modifying the Installation Configuration File

You can modify the installation configuration file by editing the variables and values described in Modifying the Installation Configuration File. This table provides four columns showing variable names, valid values (if applicable), contents, and comments.

Table 1–1 Installation Configuration File Variables


Variable Name	Valid Values (if applicable)	Content	Comments
`defaultInstallDirectory`		Default installation directory path
`currentInstallDirectory`		Selected installation directory path
`JDK_LOCATION`		Selected J2SE installation directory path	This entry is needed only for distributions that do not contain a bundled J2SE.
`INST_ASADMIN_USERNAME`		Administrator user name for initial server instance
`INST_ASADMIN_PASSWORD`		Administrator password for initial server instance	This entry is obfuscated by default. See also description of `ADMIN_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED` variable.
`INST_ASADMIN_PORT`	0 -65535	Administration server port number for initial server instance
`INST_ASWEB_PORT`	0 -65535	HTTP port number for initial server instance
`INST_HTTPS_PORT`	0 -65535	HTTPS port number for initial server instance
`INST_JMS_PORT`	0 -65535	JMS port number for initial server instance	If the configuration file does not include this entry, default value of 7676 is used.
`INST_ORB_PORT`	0 -65535	ORB port number for initial server instance	If the configuration file does not include this entry, default value of 3700 is used.
`INST_ORB_SSL_PORT`	0 -65535	Secure ORB port number for initial server instance	If the configuration file does not include this entry, default value of 3820 is used.
`INST_ORB_MUTUALAUTH_PORT`	0 -65535	Mutual authentication ORB port number for initial server instance	If the configuration file does not include this entry, default value of 3920 is used.
`INST_JMX_PORT`	0 -65535	JMX port number for initial server instance	If the configuration file does not include this entry, default value of 8686 is used.
`INST_POINTBASE_PORT`	0 -65535	PointBase server port number	If the configuration file does not include this entry, default value of 9092 is used.
`ADMIN_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED`	TRUE FALSE	Obfuscated admin password flag	In initial statefile created by product installer this flag is set to TRUE, since the admin password value is obfuscated for security reasons. To override the value for admin password, enter `INST_ASADMIN_PASSWORD` value in clear text and set this flag to FALSE to enable silent installation to process it correctly.
`STORE_ADMIN_AUTH`	TRUE FALSE	Whether to create admin authentication user preference file
`CREATE_SAMPLES_DOMAIN`	TRUE FALSE	Whether to create additional samples server domain.
`CREATE_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT`	TRUE FALSE	Whether to create autodeploy folder desktop shortcut.	Valid for Windows platforms only and is disregarded otherwise.
`UPDATE_PATH`	TRUE FALSE	Whether to update PATH environment variable to include Application Server bin directory.	Valid only for Windows platforms and is disregarded otherwise. If this entry is not present, default value of FALSE is used.
