29.4 Running the RIS Installation Program in Silent or Command Mode

This release ships with an installation program that you can use to configure the Resource Information Services (RIS) facility, which is a standalone component that interacts with the Identity Manager User Application. The RIS facility configures the RIS.war file, which supports REST resources. The REST resources exposed through RIS make SOAP calls to gather information from various RBPM systems. By default, you can find the RIS.war file in the products/RBPM/RIS directory within the .iso image file for the Identity Manager installation package for each operating system environment directory.

You can run the RIS installation in console or silent mode. Before running the installer, you must edit the properties file for the RIS installation program.
