Upgrading BMC Remedy AR System in silent mode
An example ARSystem-ini-template.txt file contains all of the options that you can use for silent installation or upgrade. You can find the ARSystem-ini-template.txt file in the <InstallerDirectory>\Disk1\utility folder or you can create the ARSystem-ini-template.txt file using an example Options.txt file.
To upgrade Remedy AR System in silent mode
Using the worksheets in Completing-the-installation-spreadsheet as a guide, edit the options in the ARSystem-ini-template.txt file, ensuring that you include the appropriate -P, -J, or -A option:
The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline.
As you edit the ARSystem-ini-template.txt file, apply the following guidelines:- Remove the comment (#) markers.
- In UNIX environments, ensure that no Ctrl+M characters appear in the ARSystem-ini-template.txt file.
- To set the installation mode to upgrade, in the ARSystem-ini-template.txt file, edit the BMC_ARSYSTEM_INSTALL_OPTION as follows:
- -J BMC_ARSYSTEM_INSTALL_OPTION=Upgrade
- Run the installer with the -i silent option:
- (Windows) setup.exe -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=c:\path\to\ARSystem-ini-template.txt
- (UNIX) ./setup.bin -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=/path/to/ARSystem-ini-template.txt
