A silent (non-interactive) installation does not display a user interface or any questions. Instead, the system uses information from a silent properties file. The Workflow Engine and Identity Governance use the same installer to install these separate components. To silently install the Workflow Engine you use the identity-governance-install-silent.properties file.
If you are installing the Workflow Engine on a server without Identity Governance installed on it, we recommend that you perform a guided installation or console installation of Workflow Engine and generate a response file. The response file contains the properties with values for your environment that you add to the identity-governance-install-silent.properties file.
WARNING:If you are deploying on Windows, ensure that you escape the backslashes '\' or the silent properties file do not work.
The steps to populate the identity-governance-install-silent.properties file and run it are the same whether you are installing the Workflow Engine on a separate server or with Identity Governance. Follow the steps for silently installing Identity Governance to silently install the Workflow Engine. For more information, see Section 6.6, Silently Installing Identity Governance and its Components.
When installing Workflow Engine on a separate server:
Copy the encrypt-keys.pkcs file.
Open the identity-governance-install-silent.properties file, then change the encryption keystore related properties to use the same encryption keystore file on the new node. Specifically set:
install_enc_create_file=false
install_enc_source_file=PATH
where PATH is the location the copied encrypt-keys.pkcs12 file.
