Installing the BMC Application Diagnostics Server in silent mode

The BMC Application Diagnostics Server Installer can be run in silent mode, which requires no user interaction during installation.

The following files are used to configure the silent installation of BMC Application Diagnostics Server:

• On Windows: adop-silent-option.txt
• On Linux: adop-silent-option

These files are located in the \ADOPServer\Disk1 folder in the installation file structure.

To configure the silent installation

1. In a command line, open the relevant adop-silent-option file in edit mode.

2. Specify a valid directory into which the BMC Application Diagnostics Server should be installed, using the following format: 

   -P installLocation=<directory>

    where
    <directory> is the installation location.
   
   

   For Windows:

   -P installLocation=C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BMC Application Diagnostics

   For Linux:

   -P installLocation=/opt/bmc/BMC_Application_Diagnostics

3. Add the Server components you want to install.

   • To install only the BMC Application Diagnostics Portal, add the following line: 

     -A bmc_application_diagnostics_portal

   • To install only the BMC Application Diagnostics Collector, add the following line: 

     -A bmc_application_diagnostics_collector

      If you do not want to install either of the components, add # before the component.

4. Enter the Portal configuration.
   • When installing the BMC Application Diagnostics Collector only, you must enter the Portal host/IP to use in the portal_ip parameter.
   • When installing the BMC Application Diagnostics Portal, the portal_ip must remain localhost.

   • If required, modify the default port numbers. Ensure that the ports are available. 

     -J portal_ip=localhost
     -J portal_http_port=8100
     -J portal_https_port=8143
     -J portal_apm_console_host=<hostname_or_IP_address>
     -J portal_apm_console_https_port=443
     

      Parameter descriptions
     The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
     This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.

     
     

5. Enter the connection security level to be used by all components. 

   -J connection_security=<SecurityLevel>

    where
    <SecurityLevel> is one of the following:

   • not_secured – Select this option to set the communication protocol to HTTP.
   • encrypted – Select this option to set the communication protocol to HTTPS.
   • encrypted_authenticated – Select this option to set the communication protocol to authenticated HTTPS.
     
     
6. Modify the BMC Application Diagnostics Collector configuration.

   • If required, modify the BMC Application Diagnostics Collector port numbers for the communication protocol selected when you selected the security level. Ensure that the ports are available. 

     -J collector_http_port=8200
     -J collector_https_port=8243
