To run the silent install
2. Copy mksagent.properties to a temporary location on the remote system.
3. Install the Windchill RV&S Agent by doing one of the following:
◦ If the location of mksagent.properties is not in the same directory as the mksagent.exe, run:
mksagent -f <directory location>/mksagent.properties
or
./mksagent -f <directory location>/mksagent.properties
where -f flags the location of mksagent.properties.
◦ If the location of mksagent.properties is in the same directory as mksagent.exe, run either mksagent.exe or mksagent.bin as appropriate for your platform.
4. Configure the Windchill RV&S Agent properties file.
The mksagent.properties file is located on the DVD in the support/install-properties folder. A copy is located in the installdir/config/install directory of the Windchill RV&S Server directory.
Silent installer property files are also available on the DVD in the support/install-properties folder.
Review the following properties and update as required.

Since the silent install is intended to be used without any user intervention, it is important that all information provided in the mksagent.properties and mksserver.properties files be valid.

INSTALLER_UI
Specifies what mode to use for installation. By default, property is set to silent, which installs server based on values in this properties file. To run GUI installation and display prompts for server installation parameters, set property to gui.
MKS_LICENSE_AGREEMENT
Specifies whether you accept terms of license agreement. A copy of license agreement is located on the DVD in support/install-properties folder. By default, property is set to false. If not set to true, installation cancels.
MKS_JAVA_EXECUTABLE
Specifies the path along with the name of the Java executable file.
The path of the Java executable file is:
For Windows: <jdk_installdir>\\bin\\java.exe
For Linux /usr/bin/java
|
|
Ensure that you install the supported JDK version. For supported JDK version, see the PTC Release Advisor. |
MKS_PRODUCT_LANGUAGE
Specifies the language of the Windchill RV&S user interface. You can display the user interface in one of the supported languages. Currently the following languages are supported: Chinese Simplified, English, German, Japanese, Korean, and French.
When using Windchill RV&S on a non-English system, it is possible to display the user interface in English and retain locale-specific formatting for time, number, and currency values.
Set this property to a valid two-letter ISO-639 code to specify how to display the user interface.
Options are as follows:
▪ If ISO-639 code corresponds to a supported language, then both user interface and formatting display in that language.
▪ If ISO-639 code corresponds to an unsupported language, then user interface displays in English and formatting displays according to the ISO-639 code specified.
▪ If property is left blank or set to an invalid ISO-639 code, then user interface and formatting display in the system language, if supported. If not supported, then user interface displays in English and formatting displays according to the system language.
For example:
▪ If MKS_PRODUCT_LANGUAGE=ja, then both user interface and formatting display in Japanese because it is a supported language.
▪ If MKS_PRODUCT_LANGUAGE=cy, then user interface displays in English because Welsh is not a supported language, but formatting displays according to Welsh rules.
▪ If MKS_PRODUCT_LANGUAGE=invalid_code, then user interface displays in system language, if supported. If not supported, then user interface displays in English. In either case, formatting displays according to the system language.
