Creating an options file
You must create an options file for each silent installation that you want to perform. The procedure on this page describes how to create options files for BMC Atrium Orchestrator content.
You can create an options file that installs multiple types of content or a single content type.
Recommendation
To create options files, copy and modify the options file templates in Options file templates for silent installations.
Before you begin
Locate the sample files that you can leverage to create options files for your installation scenario.
Best practice
To create options files, copy and modify the options file templates in Sample content options file templates.
Whenever you run a GUI installation, the installation program creates an options file in the top level of the installation directory. You can use these files as templates to create a new installation options file.
To create an options file for BMC Atrium Orchestrator content
- Open a text editor to create a new options file.
- Copy the content from a content template options file into the new file.
- In the new file, modify the
installLocation
property and specify an existing directory in which to install the component.The installation directory must have network access to the repository.
For the
AO_CONTENT_INSTALL_TYPE
property, specify INSTALL_TYPE_CUSTOM.-J AO_CONTENT_INSTALL_TYPE=INSTALL_TYPE_CUSTOM
For the
AO_INSTALLING_FEATURES
property, specify the content features to install.See Sample content options file templates and Silent installation properties for more information about specifying content features.
Specify the repository communication features.
Save the file with a name that indicates the purpose of the installation.
For example, if you create an options file to install the repository, you could name the options file bao_content.options.
UNIX operating systems are case-sensitive. Do not mix upper- and lowercase characters when you name files for a UNIX environment.
Where to go from here
Run the installation from a command line, as described in Executing a silent installation
