Title
Installing SQL Server and Oracle database agents via the Command Line -
Description
Can Oracle and SQL Server database agents be installed from the Operating System command line?
-
Cause
Beginning with the SQL Server cartridge 5.6.5.73 and the Oracle cartridge 5.6.7.1 it is now possible to deploy and monitor a large number of instances via the command line interface (CLI), using a predefined CSV file. -
Resolution
The CSV file can be downloaded from the Foglight Management Server (FMS) as a Zip file, by going to Administration | Cartridges | Components for downloads
then downloading the file DB_SQL_Server_Cli_Installer or DB_Oracle_Cli_Installer.The downloaded ZIP file contains the following files:
- README.txt file
- a groovy script file that runs the silent installation. This file should be copied to the /bin directory.
- silent_installer_input_template.csv—a template file that should serve as the basis for inserting contents into the input CSV file. This file can be copied to any folder of your choice, provided that the path indicated by the parameter points to the selected path.
-
Additional Information
A command line installer is currently not planned for the Foglight cartridge for DB2.
