COBOL Server Install Options

You can use the following command line arguments to install silently on UNIX/Linux:

–silent -IacceptEULA

For example, execute:

[as root] setup_filename –silent -IacceptEULA

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_cobol_server_3.0_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="location" ] [ -ESadminID="User ID" ] [ -CASrtDir="location" ], where:
-ESsysLog
Specifies a location in which the build will create the Enterprise Server System log file - for example, -ESsysLog="/home/esuser/logs". The default location is /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.
