Installation guide

Configuring and running the silent installer

EAServer

SilentInstall.sh -W "SilentInstallLocation.value=/opt/Sybase/EAServer"

You must also remove the equivalent settings from the silent install

configuration file.

Silent uninstaller files

You can configure the silent installer to support silent uninstallation, which

creates a script your users can run to silently remove the installation from their

system. The silent uninstaller requires:

•The EASuninstall.jar and EASuninstall.dat files that are created when

users run the install. The JAR file contains the Java uninstallation

program, and the .dat file contains data about installed features. These files

are installed in the $JAGUAR/_uninstall directory.

• A JRE installation of the same version as found on the EAServer install

CD. The installer installs a suitable JRE in the $JAGUAR/_jvm directory.

• The files SilentUninstall_Unix.txt and SilentUninstall_Unix.sh. If these

are present in the root directory of your silent installer, they are copied to

the $JAGUAR/_uninstall directory when users run the install. You must

prepare these files as described below before you release your silent

installer to your users.

SilentUninstall_Unix.txt

A sample of this file is provided on the EAServer installation CD. However, it

does not run unless you edit the copy placed in your install image. This file

configures the features to uninstall, using syntax similar to the options

described in “Feature selection parameters” on page 28. To remove

everything, set all the feature options to True. For a partial uninstallation,

change the feature options to False for those features that you do not want to

remove.

Note Some feature options in SilentUninstall_Unix.txt have a parent-child

relationship, indicated by indentation in the sample file. To uninstall a parent

feature, the parent feature and all child features must be set to True in

SilentUninstall_Unix.txt.
