Master components installation - serverinst script

This section lists and describes the parameters that are used when running a serverinst script to install the master domain manager and backup domain manager, dynamic domain manager, and backup dynamic domain manager.

When running the command, you can type parameters and values from a properties file, type them in the command line, or use a combination of both properties file and command line. If a parameter is specified both in the properties file and in the command line, the command line value is used.

Syntax

Arguments

? | --usage | --help

Displays the command usage and exits.

--propfile|-f [properties_file]

Optionally specify a properties file containing custom values for serverinst parameters. The default file is

On Windows™ systems

image_dir>\TWS95_WIN_X86_64_SERVER\TWS\WINDOWS_X86_64\serverinst.properties

On UNIX® systems

image_dir>/TWS/interp>/serverinst.properties

Specifying a properties file is suggested if you have a high number of parameters which require custom values. You can also reuse the file with minimal modification for several installations. If you create a custom properties file, specify its name and path with the -f parameter.

General information

--acceptlicense yes|no

Specify whether to accept the License Agreement.

--lang lang_id

The language in which the messages returned by the command are displayed. If not specified, the system LANG is used. If the related catalog is missing, the default C language catalog is used. If neither -lang nor LANG are used, the default codepage is set to SBCS. For a list of valid values for these variables, see the following table:

Table 1. Valid values for -lang and LANG parameter

Language	Value
Brazilian Portuguese	pt_BR
Chinese (traditional and simplified)	zh_CN, zh_TW
English	en
French	fr
German	de
Italian	it
Japanese	ja
Korean	ko
Russian	ru
Spanish	es

Note: This is the language in which the installation log is recorded and not the language of the installed component instance. The command installs all languages as default.

--inst_dir installation_dir

The directory of the HCL Workload Automation installation. This parameter is optional. The default value is:

On Windows™ operating systems

C:\Program Files\wa

On UNIX® operating systems

/opt/wa

--work_dir working_dir

The temporary directory used by the program to deploy the installation process files. This parameter is optional. The default value is:

On Windows™ operating systems

C:\TMP

On UNIX® operating systems

/tmp/waversion_number

This parameter can also function as a backup directory during product upgrade with path WORKING_DIR/backup.

--data_dir wa_datadir

UNIX operating systems only. Specify the path to a directory where you want to store the logs and configuration files produced by HCL Workload Automation. This parameter is optional. If you do not specify this parameter, all data files generated by HCL Workload Automation are stored in the TWA_home/TWSDATA directory. This path is called, in the publications, TWA_DATA_DIR.

--skipcheckprereq

If you set this parameter to false, HCL Workload Automation does not scan system prerequisites before starting the installation. This parameter is optional. The default value is true. For more information about the prerequisite check, see Scanning system prerequisites for HCL Workload Automation.

-skipcheckemptydir

Set this parameter to true to avoid checking whether the installation directory is empty. By default, this parameter is false, because starting from version 9.5 the installation directory must be empty. If you set this parameter to true and the installation directory is not empty, the installation process might fail.

--skipusercheck

If you set this parameter to true, HCL Workload Automation, performs no checks on the user. This parameter is optional. The default value is false. By default, the following checks are performed:

local user

The script checks if the specified user is existing, has the correct access rights, and the password specified with the wapassword parameter is correct. If the user does not exist, the script creates it and grants it the correct access rights. If the specified password is incorrect, the script returns an error and the installation process stops.

domain user

The script checks if the specified user is existing, has the correct access rights, and the password specified with the wapassword parameter is correct. If the user does not exist, the script cannot create it and the installation process ends in error. If the user exists but does not have the correct access rights, the script assigns it the required rights. If the specified password is incorrect, the script returns an error and the installation process stops.

If your database server is not compatible with the supplied drivers, then contact your database administrator for the correct version to use with your database server and specify the driver path using this parameter. Ensure you provide the same path in the configureDb, serverinst, and dwcinst commands. For more information, see What if my database server does not support the drivers supplied with the product images?.
