ca-wa-installer.properties File

The ca-wa-installer.properties file is generated during a Web Agent installation

and configuration. It contains all of the parameters, paths, and passwords

entered during the installation and configuration.

During an unattended installation and configuration, this properties file provides

the settings that would be entered by an end-user in a GUI or Console mode

installation. Be default, the ca-wa-installer.properties file contains the settings

from the initial installation. You can use the default properties file to run

installations with the same settings or use the file as a template that you modify

to suite your environment.

An unattended installation uses a properties file that is initially configured with

values from the initial GUI or console mode Web Agent installation. Therefore,

you can only run an unattended installation on a system with the same platform

and web server image as the system where you first installed the Web Agent. For

example, you cannot install an Agent on a Solaris system with an Sun Java

System web server, then use the properties file to run an unattended installation

on a Linux system with an Apache web server.
