Configuring SMU Automation in silent mode

You can configure Service Management Unite Automation and the automation adapters without starting the configuration dialogs by using the configuration tool in silent mode. If you use the silent configuration mode, you do not need to have an X Window session available.

  • You can use the silent mode to perform the following configuration tasks:
    • Configuring Service Management Unite Automation common settings
    • Refreshing the Service Management Unite Automation common configuration.
  • You can use the configuration tool in silent mode to configure the following components:
    • Service Management Unite Automation operations console host
    • Universal Automation Adapters

You configure these components by editing configuration parameter values in an associated properties file. The parameter values in each properties file correspond directly to the values that you enter in the configuration dialog. You must first start the configuration tool to generate silent mode input properties files before you process a configuration update.

To use the configuration tool in silent mode, you need to follow these steps for each component that you want to configure:
  1. Generate or locate the silent mode input properties file.
  2. Edit the parameter values in the file.
  3. Start the configuration tool in silent mode to update the target configuration files.
  4. If the configuration tool does not complete successfully, deal with any errors that are reported and start the configuration tool again.
