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 />
