Silent installation properties

The silent installation options file is a text file that defines the type of installation, the components to install, the installation location, and the configuration settings for the components. The installation properties are in the form of a prefix tag followed by a property name and value pair.

Prefix tags

The following table lists the prefix tags that precede the installation properties.

Property flag	Description
-J	Precedes Java properties
-P	Precedes directory properties

This topic lists the properties that you can include in the options file for content. The values that you assign to these properties determine the settings for the installation program.

To help you determine your property values, see the sample content options file templates.

When you use the silent installation to install content, the computer from which you run the installation program must have network access to the repository computer.

Note

If you have purchased the following solutions from BMC, see the system requirements and installation procedures for the predefined workflows in the solutions. Do not use the silent installation procedures on this page to install predefined workflows.

BMC Continuous Compliance for Network Automation
