Problem:
How to install the TIBCO JasperReports® Server through its installer without any user input. The configuration of installation should be defined in a separate file.
Solution:
You can use the unattended mode installation in this. While this is not an officially supported nor generally recommended method, you can still do that. The installer has an --optionfile filename.txt flag to point at an option file for selections during the installation. For example:
./jasperreports-server-6.2.1-linux-x64-installer.run --optionfile install.txt
The optionfile contents are the following:
mode=unattended prefix=/some/prefix postgres_installation_type=bundled postgres_password= postgres_binary_directory=/location/of/postgresql/bin postgres_port=5432 tomcat_server_directory=/location/of/apache-tomcat tomcat_server_port=8080 tomcat_server_shutdown_port=9005 installer-language=en jasperserver_install_sampledata=0 debugtrace=install.log debuglevel=4
While this is a viable method, it still is not recommended. Using WAR file package and deployment scripts is the preferred way of automating installation process.
