EAServer
Installation types
Set the -W SilentInstallType.value parameter to specify the installation
scenario; that is, whether you are upgrading from EAServer 5.0 to 5.5, adding
additional features to an existing 5.5 installation, or installing a new version of
5.5. Table 3-2 lists allowable values.
Table 3-2: Installation types
Installation location
Set the -W SilentInstallLocation.value to specify the installation
location. For new installations (installation type is
InstallFull), this
directory is created if it does not exist, and files are installed in the following
subdirectories of the specified directory:
• EAServer contains EAServer runtime files.
• shared contains files such as the JDK installations. These include files
used by EAServer that can be shared with other applications.
For installations that add features to an existing EAServer 5.5 installation
(installation type is
InstallFull) and installations that upgrade the license
(installation type is
InstallLicense), specify the location where EAServer is
installed; in other words, the value of the JAGUAR environment variable.
-W EASInstallLog.logOutput The directory and file name for the log file. The default is:
$D(temp)/EAS550Install.log
This specifies eas550install.log in the /tmp directory.
-W EASInstallLog.isLogAllEvents Whether to log all messages or only errors and warnings. Specify True
to log all messages, and False to log only warnings and errors.
Parameter Specifies
Value Scenario
InstallFull Create a new installation, or install additional features to an existing EAServer 5.5
installation. The features you select are installed or reinstalled.
InstallUpgrade Upgrade from an earlier version of EAServer. The features you select are installed or
reinstalled. Select the features that match the existing installation. For example, if the
debug server files are installed, you must select this option to upgrade those files.
InstallLicense Update the EAServer 5.5 license with new license keys. Use this option to upgrade from
one edition of EAServer to another, for example, from the Developer Edition to the
Advanced Edition.
When running with this option, the installer creates or modifies the license file only. No
other files are installed.
