For example:

  • Windows: install.exe -i silent

  • Linux: ./install -i silent

The -i silent option uses all of the default values in the installation. To change the default values:

    The -r option creates installer.properties file.

  2. Edit the installer.properties file to add the desired values.

  3. Issue the command install -i silent -f installer.properties.

1.3.3 Installing an Audit Client

Analyzer includes an XDAS library that automatically generates audit events from the Data Browser editor when you send data updates back to the application. For more information about using the Data Browser editor to update data in the source application, see Section 3.7.3, Modifying Data.

To view these audit events, you must install an XDAS client that can receive the audit events from Analyzer. More information about XDAS is available at the OpenXDAS Project.

Analyzer includes both a Linux and a Windows XDAS client as part of its download package, but the client is not installed during the Analyzer installation routine.

  1. Following the Analyzer installation, browse to the analyzer_install\openxdas folder.

  2. Open the folder for the operating system you are running (either linux or win32), then launch the XDAS client installer.

    Linux: Use the rpm command to install the XDAS client appropriate for your hardware platform. The 32-bit client is openxdas-0.6.294-1.i586.rpm. The 64-bit client is openxdas-0.6.294-1.x86_64.rpm. Follow the prompts to install the XDAS client.

    Windows: Launch openxdas-0.6.294-1.i586.msi and follow the prompts to install the Windows XDAS client. The Windows client is 32-bit only.

When it is installed, launch the XDAS client to automatically receive and display audit events from Analyzer.
