Installing Analytics Engine Using a Response File
Response File--Define Configuration for the Installation
A response file contains parameters that define how an instance is to be installed and configured. You can use any name for the response file.
Each entry in the response file must be on a separate line and in the following form:
variable=value
where variable is a response file parameter name.
Install Analytics Engine Using a Response File (Linux)
To install Analytics Engine using install.sh
Install Analytics Engine by invoking install.sh using the ‑respfile flag to pass the full path to the response file:
./install.sh -acceptlicense -respfile /full/path/to/resp.txt
To install Analytics Engine using RPM directly
After the response file is created, install Analytics Engine by following these steps:
1. Set the II_RESPONSE_FILE environment variable to the absolute path and name of the response file.
2. Install the RPM packages by invoking RPM.
3. Run the service script, which automatically uses the value of II_RESPONSE_FILE:
$II_SYSTEM/ingres/utility/iisystemd -a configure -d $II_SYSTEM -r $II_RESPONSE_FILE -s rdbms
