Connect:Direct for UNIX silent installation
The following installation and configuration files are required for a silent installation of Connect:Direct® for UNIX:
- cdinstall_a script
- cdinstall script
- cpio file (installation archive)
- key certificate
- Options file (unless you specify all parameters on the command line)
- key certificate passphrase
- Connect:Direct server port
- Connect:Direct client port
- Connect:Direct administrator user ID
The cdinstall_a script reads the options file, command-line arguments, or both for the necessary arguments that are needed for execution. This information includes the deployment command to run: install, upgrade, or uninstall, the installation directory for Connect:Direct, the platform-specific cpio file, and other information.
Refer to cdinstall_a script operation for a detailed description of how cdinstall_a operates. This information is essential if you do not use Control Center for configuration tasks or an enterprise deployment tool.
- Connect:Direct Secure Plus configuration command file (permits extended configuration of Connect:Direct Secure Plus)
- initparm.cfg
- netmap.cfg
- userfile.cfg
- Xlate tables (the file extension must be .sxlt)Note: The silent install requires the original pre-compiled .sxlt files to import. Re-naming an existing .xlt file to .sxlt does not work because the silent install does the compile process during the install.
- More key certificate files to use with the Connect:Direct Secure Plus configuration command line (the file extension must be .pem, .cer, or .crt)
Refer to the IBM® Connect:Direct for UNIX Administration Guide for more information about .cfg files and xlate tables.
Refer to the IBM Connect:Direct Secure Plus for UNIX Administration Guide for more information about the Connect:Direct Secure Plus configuration command file and key certificate files.
