`-J BMC_AR_SERVER_HOST_NAME`	`<AR Server Name>`	Host name of the server where you want to install Remedy AR System.
`-J BMC_JAVA_PLUGIN_PORT`	`9999`	Port number for the Java Plug-in on the server where you want to install Remedy AR server.
`-J BMC_PORT_MAPPER_ENABLED`	`true / false`	This option is used to enable or disable the Port Mapper service. When set to true, the port is 0. When set to false, the port mapped is TCP_PORT and PluginPort.
`-J BMC_AR_SKIP_FTS_INDEX_MIGRATION`	`true / false`	This option is used to skip the FTS index migration service. If true, the FTS index migration service is skipped.
`-J BMC_ZDT_AR_BACKUP_DIRECTORY`	`<filepath>`	This option specifies the directory where you want to store the backup ZIP file that is generated before rollback.
`-J REPORTING_TOMCAT_MAX_HEAP`	`2080`	This option specifies the maximum heap size of the Remedy Smart Reporting web server.

`-J BMC_AR_PORT`	`<AR System TCP Port>` The default port is 0.	The port number your BMC Remedy Administrator assigned clients to connect to the AR System server.

Note

By default, the installer migrates the Lucene 2.9 single-file Full Text Search (FTS) index into Lucene 4.9 schema specific files. The index migration step can be time consuming. To skip the migration step, add -J BMC_AR_SKIP_FTS_INDEX_MIGRATION=true to the options file when performing a silent installation. Once the FTS index has been migrated, subsequent installations skip the migration step.
