INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME ON SOLARIS AND LINUX
This table shows command-line parameters
necessary to trigger a silent install of ArcGIS
Engine Runtime.
This table shows properties that must be stored
in a file to install ArcGIS Engine Runtime
without user interaction.
Property names must be uppercase, as shown in
this table.
file itself establishes the necessary installation parameters. The following tables
illustrate the required command-line parameters and the necessary properties in
the file.
Command-line parameters
Description
-s Triggers silent (no user interaction) installation
/path/to/propertiesfile Location of the property file on the CD image
Property Value Notes
INSTALLER_UI SILENT
Required property.
INSTALL_DIR some/path/on/disk
Instructs InstallAnywhere to operate in silent mode.
SILENT must be in uppercase.
Required property.
Can be any valid disk location.
MWRT_MODE Professional Enterprise Required property.
Can be any valid disk location.
INSTALL_TYPE Complete Typical Required property.
A Typical install will include the ArcGIS Engine installation
feature only.
A Complete install will include ArcGIS Engine and Java
installation features. No other level of detail can be specified.
A completed property file would be similar to the following:
Your application setup program should not launch
the ArcGIS Engine Runtime setup if it is already
installed on the machine.
INSTALLER_UI=SILENT
INSTALL_DIR=/disk1/myproduct
MWRT_MODE=Enterprise
INSTALL_TYPE=Typical
Your setup should follow these steps:
1. Before launching the ArcGIS Engine Runtime setup, you need to determine if
ArcGIS Engine Runtime and the optional Java feature (if needed) already
exist on the target machine.
a. Open the $HOME/ESRI.properties. file.
If the file exists, continue to Step 1b. If not, the ArcGIS Engine Runtime
has not been installed; continue to Step 2.
b. For ArcGIS Engine Runtime, check for the following property:
Z_ArcGISEngineRT_INSTALL_DIR
If it is listed, then ArcGIS Engine Runtime is installed on the target machine
and you may not need to launch the ArcGIS Engine Runtime setup.
Continue to Step 1c if your application requires the Java feature; otherwise,
close the file and proceed to the installation steps for if needed.
If the property is not listed, the ArcGIS Engine Runtime has not been
installed. Continue to Step 2.
c. Navigate to the installation location indicated by the
Z_ArcGISEngineRT_INSTALL_DIR property. If the
/java/arcgis_system.jar file is present, the ArcGIS Engine Runtime Java
feature is installed on the machine. Proceed to the installation steps for
if needed.
