Creating Options.txt file for installing BMC Remedy Process Designer

Before running the silent installer, you need to create the Options.txt file to specify the installation parameters that will be used by the silent installer. Use the ProcessDesigner-ini-template.txt file as a reference while creating the Options.txt file.

To create the Options.txt file, see the following topics:

To create an Options.txt file

  1. Create a text file called Options.txt
  2. Update the Options.txt file based on the ProcessDesigner.txt file available at the following location:
    <Process designer Install directory>/ProcessDesigner/Disk1/utility
    1. Set installer properties for the features that you are installing. 
    2. Update the feature parameters information as specified in the planning spreadsheet.

      Note

      Remove the comment (#) markers before the saving the Options.txt file. 

    3. Save the file.
