Installing TrueSight Orchestration Content silently

Where you are in the installation process

To install content silently

1. Log in to the host computer (as a root user if you are using Linux) on which you want to install the content, and delete all the files from the temporary directory:

   • (Windows) %temp%

   • (Linux) /tmp

2. Create an options file for the repository by performing the following steps:
   1. Open a text editor to create a new file.
   2. Copy the contents of the sample options file provided in the next step. 

   3. Replace the variables in the options file that match your environment requirements and save the file.
      Use the options file that matches your requirement. For example, you can choose to install either all adapters, or individual adapters or modules based on your requirement. The options file properties will be different based on the installation type.

3. From the command line, execute one of the following commands to start the installation program in silent mode.
   When you specify the options file name, specify the full path to the options file; do not specify a path that is relative to the installation program.

   OS	Command	Example
   Windows	pathToInstaller\installCommand  -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="fullPathToOptionsFile/optionsFile"	setup.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=tso_Content_options.txt
   Linux	sh ./installCommand -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="fullPathToOptionsFile/optionsFile"	sh ./linux_bao_server_installer_<version>.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=tso_Content_options.txt

   On Windows, the silent installation does not direct output to the console. a short startup message and a console representation of a progress meter is displayed. The installation finishes without comments on the screen. On Redhat Linux, you can output debug logging to the console window by exporting LAX_DEBUG=true.

4. Verify whether the component is installed successfully by viewing the installation log (BAO_install_log.txt) located at the following location:

   • Red Hat Linux: /tmp

   • Microsoft Windows: C:\DOCUME~1_userName_\LOCALS~1\Temp
     Scroll to the end of the log file to locate the TrueSight Orchestration install succeeded success message.
