Sample response file for installing Teracloud® Streams

The Teracloud® Streams sample response file contains values for all interactive and silent installation options.
Attention:
  • A response file is required if you use the silent installation method.
  • A response file is optional if you use the interactive GUI or console installation method.
  • You cannot use a response file to uninstall Teracloud® Streams.

The sample response file, Streams_SampleResponseFile.properties, is included in the Teracloud® Streams installation package. You can create a response file by copying the sample response file and adding your own settings to the property values. After Teracloud® Streams is installed, the sample response file is also in the product-installation-root-directory/7.2.0.0/install directory.

After you start the installation, the Teracloud® Streams installation program checks the product-installation-package-directory/StreamsInstallFiles directory for a response file with either of the following names:
  • Streams_SampleResponseFile.properties
  • StreamsSetup.properties
You can use a different name for your response file. If you use a different name, you must include the response file name on the installation command by using the -f option, for example:
./StreamsSetup.bin -i silent -f MyResponseFile.properties
Notes:
  • If you created a response file in a previous Teracloud® Streams release, re-create the file by using the sample file in the installation package for the current release to ensure that you use the most current properties.
  • In the following situations, the Teracloud® Streams installation program reads the response file even if the program is not running in silent mode:
    • The installation program finds a response file named installer.properties or StreamsSetup.properties in the product-installation-package-directory/StreamsInstallFiles directory.
    • You specify -f response-file-name.properties when you run the Teracloud® Streams installation command.
    If the installation program is running in interactive GUI or console mode, the program uses the values in the response file that apply to an interactive installation.
  • If a response file property is not listed in the response file, the Teracloud® Streams installation program uses the default value, if applicable.

Response file properties

The value of this property is set by Teracloud® Streams and used by the installation program. If you change the value of this property, the installation might fail.
INSTALLER_LOCALE
Specifies the locale that Streams uses to run the installation and write to the installation log. In the current release, the only supported locale is en (English).

Identifies the user who owns the installed files. The default user ID is streamsadmin. This property applies only to installations that are run by a user with root authority.
USER_INSTALL_DIR (Optional)
Specifies the root installation directory for Teracloud® Streams. To override the default installation directory, uncomment this property and enter an absolute path of your choice. Read, write, and execute permissions are required for all existing directories in the specified path.
Important: The installation directory cannot contain spaces or the following characters: ' " ` $ | & ? * < > \. If the installation directory contains spaces or non-supported characters, the installation program cancels the silent installation.
IS_EDITION_TYPE (Silent installation only)

LICENSE_ACCEPTED (Silent installation only)
Verifies that the user who is installing Teracloud® Streams read and agreed to the license agreement.

VERSION_EXIST_ACTION (Silent installation only)
If you install the product in the same root installation directory, Teracloud® Streams installs each new product version or release in a unique directory. This property specifies the action to be taken if the installation program detects that you are installing the same version or release in the same root installation directory. By default, the installation program uninstalls the existing version and continues the installation.
MISSING_DEPENDENCY_ACTION (Silent installation only)
Specifies the action to be taken when the installation program detects missing dependencies. By default, the installation program continues the installation.
