Automatic installation of the Control-M database

Automatic installation is used to install Control-M components from a script or batch file. The following stages are involved:

• Preparing the parameters file

  This is accomplished by running the interactive installation and saving the installation parameter information to a file.

• Running the installation using the prepared installation file

  The Control-M components are installed automatically using the saved parameter information you specified for the interactive installation. You can reuse the parameters file to automatically install Control-M components on other computers.

To prepare the automatic installation parameters file

1. Set the environment variable BMC_SILENT_INSTALL to value Y. See Setting environment variables in UNIX for your UNIX environment.

   The value must use a capital letter. Otherwise, an interactive installation is set instead of an automatic installation.

2. Run the interactive installation as described under

   The installation parameters are saved to ${HOME}/BMCINSTALL/products/products.ctl.

   If you want to change parameter values at a later time, you can modify them using a text editor.

To install automatically

1. Log on to the Control-M/EM or Control-M/Server account.
2. Set the following environment variables (see Setting environment variables in UNIX for your UNIX environment):

   DBO_PASSWORD to <databaseOwnerPassword>

   SA_PASSWORD to <databaseAdministratorPassword>

   <databaseOwnerPassword> is the password that will be set for the owner of the new database.

   During a client installation this is the current database owner password.

   <databaseAdministratorPassword> is the database administrator password.

3. Issue the following command:

   <dvdPath>/Setup_files/components/em/Sybase/setup.sh -r <parameterFile>

   <parameterFile> is the full path to the automatic installation parameters file.

4. Continue with Installing Control-M on UNIX.
