This section describes how to run the JBossPostgreSQL utility in console or silent mode. A silent installation requires no interaction during the installation and can save you time, especially when you install on more than one system. This process includes the following activities:
If you do not want to specify the passwords in the silent.properties file for the JBossPostgreSQL installation, you can set the passwords in the environment instead. In this case, the silent installer will read the passwords from the environment, rather than from the silent.properties file. This can provide some additional security.
You must specify the following passwords for the User Application installation:
NOVL_DB_PASSWORD
NOVL_DB_USER_PASSWORD
Use the export command. For example:
export NOVL_DB_USER_PASSWORD=myPassWord
Use the set command. For example:
set NOVL_DB_USER_PASSWORD=myPassWord
You can run the JBossPostgreSQL utility in console or silent mode. Before running the utility in silent mode, you need to edit the properties file for the JBossPostgreSQL utility.
NOTE:PostgreSQL requires several Microsoft VC++ libraries when running on Windows. If these libraries are not installed on the Windows server, the PostgreSQL installer automatically installs them. When you run the JBossPostgreSQL installer in silent mode on Windows, a pop-up window appears for about three seconds while these libraries are being installed if those libraries are not already installed on the machine.
Log on as a root user to the computer where you want to run the JBossPostgreSQL silent installation.
Open the silent.properties file on the local computer.
Modify the following parameters in the silent.properties file:
|

USER_INSTALL_DIR |

NOVL_DB_PASSWORD |
Database root password. Required if installing PostgreSQL. If you are not installing PostgreSQL, this value will be ignored. |

Log on as a root user to the computer where you want to install the User Application.
Open a terminal session.
Specify the values for the installation. For more information, see Section 29.3.1, Setting Passwords in the Environment for a Silent Installation and Section 29.3.2, Editing the silent.properties File.
Launch the installation with the following command:
JBossPostgreSQL -i silent -f path_to_properties_file
For example:
JBossPostgreSQL -i silent -f /home/jdoe/idm-install-files/silent.properties
