Upgrade in Silent Mode

Upgrade in Silent Mode

To upgrade the Dynamic Data Masking Server and Management Console without user interaction, install in silent mode.
  1. Log in to the machine with a user account that has administrator privileges.
  2. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Dynamic Data Masking installation file.
  3. Locate the SilentInput.properties file.
  4. Create a backup copy of the SilentInput.properties file.
  5. Use a text editor to open the SilentInput.properties file and modify the value of the USER_INSTALL_DIR parameter.
    The following table describes the Dynamic Data Masking installation parameters that you can modify:
    Property Name
    Description
    USER_INSTALL_DIR
    Absolute path for the directory in which Dynamic Data Masking is installed.
    Use the default path format. Use two backslashes (\\) before folder names for installation on Windows. Use a slash (/) for installation on Linux and UNIX.
    PA_LICENSE_FILE
    Absolute path to a valid license file. If you have not uninstalled Dynamic Data Masking, the installation ignores this parameter and uses the license file of the previous installation. If you uninstalled Dynamic Data Masking, the installation uses this parameter.
    Use the default path format. Use two backslashes (\\) before folder names for installation on Windows. Use a slash (/) for installation on Linux and UNIX.
  6. Save the SilentInput.properties file in the same directory as the silent install script file.
  7. Close all shells and windows that have the Dynamic Data Masking installation directory current or open.
  8. Begin the installation on Linux, UNIX, or Windows.
    • Begin installation on Linux or UNIX in a directory outside of the Dynamic Data Masking installation directory. Run the following command on a shell command line:
      <Dynamic Data Masking installation>/silentinstall <administrator password>
    • To begin installation on Windows, open a command window and run the following command from the installation directory:
      SilentInstall.bat <administrator password>
    The administrator password is the Dynamic Data Masking administrator password. If you do not provide a password, Dynamic Data Masking uses the default password, admin. If you use the default password, you can chanage the password after you install.
You can view the
DDM_Install.log
file to get more information about the installation and to view configuration properties for the installed components. If the installation ends with a warning, check the
DDM_Install.log
file for details. The log file may be in the installation directory, on the desktop on Windows, or in the /home/user directory on Linux and UNIX.
