When doing a silent install how to I add a none default agent parameter?

Products

• CA Workload Automation AE

Issue/Introduction

We are doing silent agent installations.
We would like to set the following during the installation:
oscomponent.checkvalidshell=false

How do we do that?

Environment

Autosys 12.X
agent

Resolution

You can add ANY agent parm to a silent installer process.
This is done using the RAW_DATA parameter:

example Silent install properties file:
 Specify the owner and group accounts that will be assigned to
# the installed files/directories.
#SET_OWNER_ACCOUNT=autosys
#SET_GROUP_ACCOUNT=autosys
#CREATE_OWNER_AND_GROUP_ACCOUNTS=true
#Add more settings as raw data to agentparm.txt
RAW_DATA=/opt/CA/additional_parameters.txt
# Specify the agent start property to start the agent
# automatically after installation is complete
#START_AGENT_AFTER_INSTALL=false

Example of a RAW_DATA file

runnerplugin.spool.clean.enable=true
runnerplugin.spool.expire=10D
runnerplugin.spool.sleep=24H
communication.nomanagers.abort.disable=true
oscomponent.checkvalidshell=false


NOTE:
The contents of the file that are read as raw data are added to the end of the agentparm.txt file.
Because the installer does not validate any of the parameters or settings from the file, it is important to review all the settings before adding them as part of a raw data file
