Configuring the agent by using the silent response file
The silent response file contains the agent configuration parameters. You can edit the silent response file to modify the values of these parameters, and run the configuration script to create an instance and update the agent configuration values. This mode of configuration is called the silent mode.
Before you begin
Ensure that the files, which are listed in the “Before you begin” section of the Configuring SAP NetWeaver Java Stack monitoring are available in the bin directory.
About this task
The silent response file contains the agent configuration parameters with default values defined for some parameters. You can edit the silent response file to specify different values for the configuration parameters.
After you update the configuration values in the silent response file, you must run the configuration script to configure the agent with these updated values.
