Environment

Release: XCOM Data Transport-for AIX
Component:

Cause

A silent install requires a response file. That file may get generated on machine A, but the silent installation will get done on many machines and the SYSID and SYSNAME parameters cannot be stored in the response file, because they are different for each machine.

Resolution

To specify the unique SYSID and SYSNAME values, do one of the following:

1)      Issue the silent install command, using the DSYSID and DSYSNAME  parameters as shown in this example:

sh XCOM.bin -i silent -f /opt/CA/xcompkg/XCOM.properties - DSYSID=xxxx    -DSYSNAME=yyyyyyyy

    or

    2)Set the SYSID and SYSNAME parameter values in the response properties file:

   SYSID=xxxx

  SYSNAME=yyyyyyyy

 

For details, see the chapter How to Specify Unique System ID and SystemName Values  in the CA XCOM Data Transport for UNIX and Linux Installation Guide.
