Installing into a different location
To install in a different location use the
-installlocation="Location" parameter to specify an alternative directory location. For example:
./setup_visualcobol_deveclipse_3.0_platform -installlocation="full path of new location"
Note: You can use variables when specifying an absolute path for
–installlocation. For example, the following examples are equivalent:
-installlocation="/home/myid/installdir"
-installlocation="$HOME/installdir"
You can see details about which additional parameters can be passed to the install script if you enter the
-help option.
Skip Java Check
To skip the Java version check, use the
-skipjavachk option. This skips the parts of the installation that require Java, for example, the Eclipse installation. This can be used when you do not have Java on your path and want to perform a custom installation. You can then manually configure the plug-ins as required:
./setup_visualcobol_deveclipse_3.0_platform -skipjavachk
Skip Installing Eclipse
To skip the installation of Eclipse, use the
-skipeclipse option. This enables you to install
Visual COBOL into your own version of Eclipse.
./setup_visualcobol_deveclipse_3.0_platform -skipeclipse
Note: You need to install the COBOL plug-ins manually.
Installing into a 32-bit Version of Eclipse
To skip the installation of the shipped Eclipse version but still install the plug-ins, use the
-32bit option. This enables you to install your own 32-bit version of Eclipse and manually install the required
Visual COBOL components.
./setup_visualcobol_deveclipse_3.0_platform -32bit
Configuring Enterprise Server
You can use the following options to configure the Enterprise Server installation:
[ -ESsysLog="location" ] [ -ESadminID="User ID" ] [ -CASrtDir="location" ], where:
- -ESsysLog
- Specifies a location in which the build will create the Enterprise Server System log file - for example,
-ESsysLog="/home/esuser/logs". The default location is
/var/mfcobol/logs.
- -ESadminID
- Sets the Enterprise Server System Administrator Process User ID from the command line - for example,
-ESadminID="esadm". The default user ID is the one that runs the installer.
- -CASrtDir
- Specifies the location were the Enterprise Server run-time system files are placed - for example,
-CASrtDir="/home/esuser/casrt/es". The default location is
/var/mfcobol/es.
Installing Silently
You can install
Micro Focus products silently by using command line parameters to specify the installation directory, user information, and which features to install. You must execute the command with superuser permissions.f
You can use the following command line arguments to install silently on UNIX/Linux:
–silent -IacceptEULA
For example, execute:
[as root] setup_filename –silent -IacceptEULA
