Running the Configuration Wizard silently
You can run the Configuration Wizard silently if you have multiple deployments or if you want to develop a common deployment template.
-
Choose one of the following options to prepare to run the Configuration Wizard silently:
- Generate the customization data file in the configuration wizard without running the tasks.
- Modify the sample customization data file that matches your deployment. This file is in the PortalServer_root/installer/samples/configwizard directory.
Important
The sample scenarios do not cover all deployment options. Therefore, if the samples do not match your deployment scenario, generate the customization data file.
-
Open a command prompt.
-
Change to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine directory.
-
Create a silent installation from a set of customization data:
Note
All parameters are necessary. Run this task once per deployment cycle.
- AIX® and Linux™:
./ConfigEngine.sh customize-workflow -DwfId=workflow-identifier -DwfData=customization-data-file -DwfOutput=output-directory -DWasPassword=password
- Windows™:
ConfigEngine.bat customize-workflow -DwfId=workflow-identifier -DwfData=customization-data-file -DwfOutput=output-directory -DWasPassword=password
Where
workflow-identifier
is the name in the repository.Where
customization-data-file
is the name of the customization data file.Where
output-directory
is the directory where resulting files are written. This directory includes the following content: - Theworkflow-identifier.wfi
file that represents the combination of silent installation tasks and the custom data. Subsequent tasks use this file. - Theworkflow-identifier
directory where scripts and related files are created. - AIX® and Linux™:
-
Start the silent installation:
- AIX and Linux:
./ConfigEngine.sh execute-workflow -DwfInstance=workflow-instance -DWasPassword=password
- Windows:
ConfigEngine.bat execute-workflow -DwfInstance=workflow-instance -DWasPassword=password
This task runs until: - A step in the silent installation fails. You must correct the error and then run the
resume-workflow
task. - A step is reached that requires manual action. You must finish the requested action and then run theresume-workflow
task. - AIX and Linux:
-
To resume the silent installation, run the
resume-workflow
task:- AIX and Linux:
./ConfigEngine.sh resume-workflow -DWasPassword=password
- Windows:
ConfigEngine.bat resume-workflow -DWasPassword=password
This task works in the following way:
- If you resume the silent installation after an error, the task runs the failed step.
- If you resume after you complete a manual step, the task runs the next step in the sequence.
- AIX and Linux:
