Installing in silent mode on Linux™ or AIX operating systems
Follow these steps to perform an automated installation of the IBM Traveler server.
Procedure
- Locate and extract the IBM Traveler installation application.
- Verify the settings in the
installer.properties
file, using Table 1. A pre filled sample is provided with the e-assembly. - Verify the locale setting in the
silentInstall
script included in the e-assembly. Locale values are provided in Table 2. - Launch the
silentInstall
script file included in the e-assembly:./silentInstall
- Important: To determine if the install succeeded,
you must review the installation logs. First, check
DOMINO_DATA_DIRECTORY_1/IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT/traveler/logs/TravelerInstall.log
for any warnings or recoverable errors. If this file does not exist or the timestamp is old, then likely a unrecoverable error occurred. All unrecoverable errors are written toInstallError.log
in the directory containing the installation application.Note: If an installation is a silent installation, then the uninstall operation is silent by default. A silent uninstallation does not require a properties file; it uninstalls all IBM Traveler files from all Domino® partitions in which they were installed.Table 1. Installer properties Property Choices Description ACCEPT_LICENSE
true | false
Set to true if you agree to the terms of the license agreement. If set to false, the application is not installed.
DOMINO_PROGRAM_DIRECTORY
Fully qualified path
Path to the IBM® Domino® program directory, where the server executable file exists.
DOMINO_DATA_DIRECTORY_1
Fully qualified path
Path to the Domino® data directory, where
names.nsf
exists.Note: If you are using a partitioned Domino® installation, specify additional partitions by incrementing this parameter. For example, for a second partition, specify DOMINO_DATA_DIRECTORY_2=Fully-qualified path.DOMINO_NOTESINI_DIRECTORY_1
Fully qualified path
Path to the
notes.ini
file for this instance of the IBM® Domino® server.Note: If you are using a partitioned Domino® installation, specify additionalnotes.ini
files corresponding to data directories by incrementing this parameter. For example, for a second directory, specify DOMINO_NOTESINI_DIRECTORY_2=Fully-qualified path.INSTALLED_DOMINO_VERSION
9.0.1 | 10.0.0
This parameter should not be required. The installed Domino version should be auto detected. Set this parameter if for some reason the auto detection is not working as expected and you want to force the IBM Traveler server to use the defined Domino version during install.Note: For AIX, there is no 9.0.1 Version of IBM Traveler.LINUX_USER_NAME
Linux or AIX username
This property is the user name that the IBM® Domino® server uses. It is required to set file permissions correctly during the installation process. Leave blank to automatically detect it during installation. Applies to both Linux and AIX.
LINUX_GROUP_NAME
Linux or AIX groupname
This is the primary group of the Linux™ user that the Domino® Server runs under. It is required to set file permissions correctly during the installation process. Leave blank to auto detect this value during installation. Applies to both Linux and AIX.
MULTI_INSTANCE_INSTALL true | false
Default is false.
On Linux™ and AIX, Domino® supports the concept of a multi-instance install. By default, IBM Traveler does not. Set this flag to
true
to allow installation to proceed normally if multiple Domino® servers are detected on the Linux™ or AIX OS. Note this option is only available in silent mode installation.NTS_SET_EXTERNAL_URL
Fully qualified path
The fully qualified URL that IBM Traveler clients use to connect to the IBM Traveler server. This URL is either the address of the server or a proxy server. If this URL is currently unknown, it should be configured on the IBM® Traveler tab of the Domino® server document later.
It is recommended that clients always communicate with the IBM Traveler Server over a secure connection. Consider specifying SSL communications by using a URL that begins with
https://
. Note that SSL must be setup and configured on the target server before clients can communicate with the IBM Traveler server.NTS_WEBSITE_HOME
0 | 1
When set to 1 during startup, IBM Traveler sets the user home page as the default website for the Domino® server. This is a useful starting place for users because it provides status information, links to client software, and user management options.
If the IBM Traveler user home page is set as the default, it can be viewed by pointing any device browser to
http://hostname
. If the user home page is not set as the default, it can be viewed by pointing any device browser tohttp://hostname/servlet/traveler
. This setting takes effect the first time IBM Traveler is started and can be changed manually at a later time.OVERRIDE_BACKREV
true | false
This optional property applies only to downgrade installations. If a newer version is already installed, false is the default value and the installation is not allowed. Set to true to override the default and downgrade the IBM Traveler server using silent installation.
