Install Enterprise Access using a Response File
After you create the Enterprise Access response file, you need to invoke the EA installer. The installer performs a silent installation and configuration of the components as specified in the response file.
To install Enterprise Access using a response file
Issue the following command from the root directory of the EA install image:
setup /r <path><response_file_name>
<path>
Specifies the full storage location path for the response file.
<response_file_name>
Specifies the name of the response file.
Example setup /r command
C:\EA3_0\cdimage\setup /r C:\EA3_0\myresponsefile.rsp
Response File Parameters
The currently supported response file parameter options are as follows:
II_COMPONENT_MSSQLGATEWAY
Determines whether MS SQL Server gateway is to be installed. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_COMPONENT_ORACLEGATEWAY
Determines whether Oracle gateway is to be installed. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_COMPONENT_ODBCGATEWAY
Determines whether the ODBC gateway is to be installed. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_COMPONENT_NET
Determines whether Ingres Net is to be installed. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_COMPONENT_EMBEDDEDPROGRAMMING
Determines whether the tools and supporting files for Embedded SQL programming with C/C++, COBOL and Fortran is to be installed. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_COMPONENT_DOCUMENTATION
Determines whether gateway documentation in Portable Document Format (PDF) is to be installed. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_SYSTEM
Defines the location of the Enterprise Access system (executable) files. The default directory path is "C:\Program Files\Ingres\IngresRR".
II_INSTALLATION
Defines the EA installation code. The installation code is a two-character code that identifies a specific installation on a node, and allows all EA processes and images to be installed and shared successfully. In an upgrade scenario, the existing value is kept. Valid values are [A-Z], [A-Z] [0-9]. Default is "II".
The first character of the installation code must be a letter; the second character can be a letter or numeral.
II_CHARSET
Specifies the value to be used for the Ingres environment variable II_CHARSETxx. In an upgrade scenario, the existing value is kept and should not be changed. Any valid value for II_CHARSETxx may be used. Default is "WIN1252" or "IBMPC850" depending on the code page selected for the operating system.
II_DICTIONARY_OK
If II_DICTIONARY_OK variable is set to anything, the usual frontend dictionary check when connecting to a DBMS is omitted.
Note:  Some OpenROAD runtime methods will require existing frontend dictionary tables (for example, ii_stored_strings, ii_stored_bitmaps, ii_sequence_values), so they would fail if these tables are missing.
II_TIMEZONE_NAME
Specifies the value to be used for the time zone. In an upgrade scenario, the existing value is kept. Any valid Ingres II_TIMEZONE_NAME value may be used. Default is the time zone that most closely approximates the OS time zone, for example, "NA-EASTERN".
II_TERMINAL
Specifies the value to be used for the terminal type. In an upgrade scenario, the existing value is kept. Any valid value for II_TERMINAL enclosed in double quotes may be used. Default is "IBMPC".
II_ADD_TO_PATH
Defines whether to add EA to the Windows PATH. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_INSTALL_ALL_ICONS
Defines whether to create the EA program group and associated icons during the EA installation. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_START_INGRES_ON_COMPLETE
Defines whether to start Ingres after the EA installation completes. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_START_IVM_ON_COMPLETE
Defines whether to start the Ingres Visual Manager utility after the EA installation completes. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_SERVICE_START_AUTO
Specifies whether to start the Ingres service automatically at system startup. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "NO".
II_SERVICE_START_USER
Defines the user who can start Ingres as a service. Default is “LocalSystem”.
II_SERVICE_START_USERPASSWORD
Defines the password required to start Ingres as a service. Default is "". (No password if LocalSystem is used as II_SERVICE_START_USER value.)
II_ENABLE_TCP
Specifies whether to use TCP/IP networking protocol for Ingres Net. Valid values are "YES" and "NO". Default is "YES".
II_ORACLE_VERSION
Defines the Oracle gateway version used with Enterprise Access. To obtain valid options for this parameter, run iigwuseora or iigwuseora list.
