This article describes how to install CM servers and clients using script.

Expand
titleExecute the script

The properties script is loaded and executed via the -script switch command from the install shell scripts, that is, install_server.bat and install_server.sh.

Code Block
titleExample
install_server.bat -script install_server_script.properties

Type -help to see the available switch commands.

titleUse manual input

When a script is executed, it will run the normal CM installation, but the installation will be sequentially instructed from the defined parameters inside the properties file. However, it is possible to define parameters to be instructed manually by the user, just like a normal installation. This is done by the <USER_INPUT> parameter value.

Code Block
titleExample
database_user_password=<USER_INPUT>



Expand
titleScramble sensitive parameters

Sensitive parameters, for example, passwords, can be scrambled. This is done by defining the keyword .encrypted after the target key parameter.

titleHow to scramble data in configuration files

Excerpt Include
Scramble sensitive data in configuration files in Protocol Gateway
Scramble sensitive data in configuration files in Protocol Gateway
nopaneltrue

Values in the properties file that are marked .encrypted are scrambled by calling the installer with the -scramble switch command.

Code Block
titleExample
install_server.bat -scramble -script install_server_script.properties

titleWhich properties to define for different components

It is essential to know before hand which properties your components requires. Note that all the required properties for a specific component MUST be defined in your properties file. Empty values are not permitted, so either give them a value or set them as <USER_INPUT>.

These tables list the parameters required (and optional) for each component.
