Installation 57
Linux Command Line Installation
You can run a Linux installation from a command line with text prompts that are equivalent to the
graphic interface prompts described in Installing the Application on page 47, and the following
pages. Here is the command line to run the text-only installation:
install/linux/linuxinstall -console
Modified Files
The following system files may be modified during root installation:
/etc/.dsienv - installed
/etc/my.cnf - installed
/etc/rc2.d/S75owaredb — installed
/etc/rc2.d/S76oware — installed
The rest of the installation installs program files, does the setup functions, and performs the initial
database load.
Overriding Properties
Installation typically makes all of the modifications needed to properties files, but if your
installation customizes some properties, best practice is not to change default properties, but to
override them. This eliminates updates or new installations overwriting property files you have
configured. Best practice also includes backing up the override file(s) as described below.
To override a property, put the property itself in
installed.properties under
owareapps\installprops\lib . You can override selected (high availability) mediation
service properties in
owareapps\installprops\medserver\lib . Application property
values are loaded first and you can override those values here.
NOTE:
Installation updates or refreshes the appropriate properties in installed.properties, but does not
overwrite the file. This means property additions you make are safe from installation changing them in
this override file. New properties coming from an installation are appended to the files.
The following is an example of property file content to override an application
cache time-out:
