Chapter 9: Setting Up an Unattended <strong>Installation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Configuration</strong><br />
If errors occur before sufficient initialization occurrs, log messages are sent to one of the<br />
following log files in the Temp directory:<br />
• For Framework Manager, the file name is<br />
tl-FM-version-yyyymmdd-hhmm.txt.<br />
• For ReportNet, the file name is<br />
tl-CRN-version-yyyymmdd-hhmm.txt.<br />
After all errors are resolved, you can set up an unattended configuration.<br />
Set Up an Unattended <strong>Configuration</strong><br />
Before you set up an unattended configuration, you must export a configuration from another<br />
computer that has the same ReportNet components installed. You can then run <strong>Cognos</strong><br />
<strong>Configuration</strong> in silent mode.<br />
Ensure that the configuration settings on the local computer are appropriate to use to configure<br />
another ReportNet computer with the same installed components. For example, if you changed<br />
the host name portion of the Gateway URI property from local host to an IP address or computer<br />
name, ensure this setting is appropriate for the new computer’s configuration.<br />
Steps<br />
1. In <strong>Cognos</strong> <strong>Configuration</strong>, from the File menu, click Export as.<br />
2. If you want to export the current configuration to a different folder, in the Look in box, locate<br />
<strong>and</strong> open the folder.<br />
3. In the File name box, type a name for the configuration file.<br />
4. Click Save.<br />
5. Copy the exported configuration file from the source computer or network location to the<br />
crn_location/configuration directory on the the computer where you plan to do an<br />
unattended configuration.<br />
6. Rename the file to crnstartup.xml.<br />
7. Go to crn_location/bin.<br />
8. Type the configuration comm<strong>and</strong>:<br />
• On UNIX, type<br />
./crconfig.sh -s<br />
• On Windows, type<br />
crconfigw.exe -s<br />
Tip: To view log messages that were generated files that were during an unattended<br />
configuration, see the crconfig_response.csv file in the crn_location/logs directory.<br />
<strong>Cognos</strong> <strong>Configuration</strong> applies the configuration settings specified in the local copy of<br />
crnstartup.xml, encrypts credentials, generates digital certificates, <strong>and</strong> if applicable, starts<br />
ReportNet service or process.<br />
