Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.1B
Windows
SYMPTOM(s):
The SonicMQ directory is missing after performing a Silent Installation
The Sonic directory is missing with Silent Install
Performing a complete installation of Client Networking
CAUSE:
The problem is related to the value given to the "installMode" in the %DLC%\install\tlr\installtlr.properties - during the silent install this value is being set to 4. The tailoring process believes this value to mean a Service Pack install is taking place and therefore does not install Sonic. 0 = interactive install, 2 = silent - we want to set this to 2.
FIX:
The following workaround can be used after the Silent Install has been performed on the client:
1) Change into the %DLC%\install\tlr directory
2) Edit the installtlr.properties file and change installMode from 4 to 2
3) Run the following command from this directory:
%DLC%\jre\bin\java -classpath %DLC%\install\ant\ant.jar -Dant.home=%DLC%\install\ant org.apache.tools.ant.Main -f %DLC%\install\tlr\installtlr.xml
So a batch file would look something like this (assuming that Z:\SilentInstall\installtlr.properties is the modified file):
REM *** installMQ.bat ***
DLC=D:\Progress\DLC
cd %DLC%\install\tlr
ren installtlr.properties installtlr.properties.old
copy Z:\SilentInstall\installtlr.properties installtlr.properties
%DLC%\jre\bin\java -classpath %DLC%\install\ant\ant.jar -Dant.home=%DLC%\install\ant org.apache.tools.ant.Main -f %DLC%\install\tlr\installtlr.xml
REM *** End ***
This will install Sonic and add the shortcuts.
