Performing a silent installation
The silent installation for BIRT iHub and BIRT iHub Integration Technology uses command line entries and creates log files that appear in
Table 16‑3.
Table 16‑3 Silent installation command line entries and log files
Actuate product | Command line entry | Installation log file |
BIRT iHub | ./isinstall.sh -s isinstall.cfg | /tmp/$LOGNAME/isinstall.log |
BIRT iHub Integration Technology | ./isitinstall.sh -s isitinstall.cfg | /tmp/$LOGNAME/isitinstall.log |
A new log file is created every time a user installs an Actuate product. The log files are distinguished by including the user’s login name ($LOGNAME) in the log file’s path.
How to perform a silent installation
The following procedure uses the silent installation for BIRT iHub as an example.
1 Log in using the account created for installing and running iHub.
2 Copy the product installation files to the local machine.
3 Change your working directory to the root directory of the product installation files.
4 To start the silent installation, type the following, then press Enter:
./isinstall.sh -s isinstall.cfg
The silent installation completes and creates the installation log file, /tmp/isinstall.log.
In a default acinstallinput.xml there are two destination folders for the installation, the Binary location and the Data location. iHub uses the Binary location to resolve paths to all the binaries that it launches. The default path for the Binary location is $HOME/AcServer, and is referred to in the iHub documentation by the environment variable AC_SERVER_HOME. iHub uses the Data location to store data, including Encyclopedia volume data, iHub logs, PostgreSQL data, MC logs, and IC logs. The default path is AC_SERVER_HOME/data, and is referred to in the iHub documentation by the environment variable AC_DATA_HOME.
