Installing TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio silently

Where you are in the installation process

To install the TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio silently

You can install the Development Studio on Windows OS only.

1. Log in to the host computer on which you want to install the Development Studio, and delete all the files from the temporary directory:
   (Windows) %temp%
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 repository options file provided in the sample options file here. 

   3. Replace the variables in the options file that match your environment requirements and save the file.

      #Replace the variables and sample values in this example.
      -P installLocation=<fullPathToTheInstallationDirectory>
      -J AO_ADMIN_USERNAME=<adminUser>
      -J AO_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<encryptedPassword>
      -J DEVSTUDIO_INSTALL_TYPE=install_new
      -J DEVSTUDIO_WORKSPACE_DIR=<fullPathToWorkspaceDirectory>

      The following table provides property details for the Development Studio options file. 

      Prefix tags for silent installation properties:

      • -P: Precedes directory properties
      • -J: Precedes Java properties

      Property name	Description
      installLocation	Specifies the full path to the installation directory. Default value: Windows: c:\Program Files\BMC Software\BAO\Studio -P /Applications/BMC Software/BAO/Studio
      AO_ADMIN_USERNAME	Specifies the name of the administrator.  -J AO_ADMIN_USERNAME=<adminUser>
      AO_ADMIN_PASSWORD	Specifies the administrator password, in an encrypted format.  -J AO_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<adminPassword>
      DEVSTUDIO_INSTALL_TYPE	Specifies the installation type for the Development Studio component. install_new  Installs a new version of Development Studio  -J DEVSTUDIO_INSTALL_TYPE=install_new upgrade_new  Performs the following upgrade actions: Upgrades from an earlier version of the component to the latest version Repairs the latest installed version Adds new features to the current version  -J DEVSTUDIO_INSTALL_TYPE=upgrade_new
      DEVSTUDIO_WORKSPACE_DIR	Specifies the path to the workspace folder, which is the folder where Development Studio stores your work.  Note: Ensure that you specify the path exactly as it appears in your file system, including upper- and lowercase characters. This directory must exist before you execute the silent installation.  -J DEVSTUDIO_WORKSPACE_DIR=c:\DevStudioWork

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.

   Command	Example
   pathToInstaller\installCommand  -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="fullPathToOptionsFile/optionsFile"	setup.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=tso_DevStudio_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:
   
   • 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.
5. To ensure that the installation is successful, launch TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio.
