Installing Celtix Advanced Service Engine in Silent Mode

Overview

The installer's silent mode is intended for use in installing on remote machines. It is also useful in cases when you do not wish the person installing Celtix Advanced Service Engine to change any of the installation options. You can customize how Celtix Advanced Service Engine is installed by providing an installer properties file specifying the options you wish to install.

Running the installer

To install Celtix Advanced Service Engine using the silent install mode do the following:

  1. If you do not want a default installation, create an installer properties file that specifies how you want Celtix Advanced Service Engine installed.

    You can create an installer properties file in one of two ways:

  2. Run the installer using the following command:

    Windows

                    
                      celtix-1.1-service-engine-Windows -i silent [-f installer.properties]
                    
                  

    *NIX

                    
                      sh celtix-1.1-service-engine-GenericUnix -i silent [-f installer.properties]
                    
                  

    The -f argument instructs the installer to load the specified properties file. If you do not use this argument, the installer will silently perform a default installation.
