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_10.0_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.
Configuring Enterprise Server
You can use the following options to configure the Enterprise Server installation:
[ -ESsysLog="Y/N" ] [ -ESadminID="User ID" ] [ -CASrtDir="location" ] [-enablefutex], where:
- -ESsysLog
- Use this to enable ("Y") or disable ("N") Enterprise Server system logging. Logging is enabled by default. Log files are saved
in
/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.
- -enablefutex
- Enables Futex support in CAS at install time. You can use this option with new installation and with upgrades to existing
installation. An entry in
$COBDIR/etc/cobver,
Futex Enabled, indicates that the option has been run during installation.
If a subsequent Patch Update of release 10.0 is installed in the same COBDIR location once Futex is enabled, the installer
automatically enables Futex, so the command line option is not required.
Note: On AIX, the automatic enabling of Futex is not supported so you need to use this command line option with each installation.
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.
You can use the following command line arguments to install silently on UNIX/Linux. You need to execute the commands as root:
–silent -IacceptEULA
For example, execute:
setup_filename –silent -IacceptEULA
