JBoss BPM Suite CLI installer: broken on first step

Latest response

When I run...

$ java -jar jboss-bpmsuite-6.3.0.GA-installer.jar -console

...to install JBoss BPM Suite via the command line, the first step is to agree to the licensing agreement:

press 1 to continue, 2 to quit, 3 to redisplay.

Unfortunately, pressing (entering) "1" has the same effect as entering "3" (redisplay), so I can't get anywhere. (Entering "2" quits the installer just fine.) See screenshot for a visual of the context.

Needless to say, I'm off to a pretty bad start. Anybody have a fix?!?

Thanks!

Here's a little bit about the environment:

   10  sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk
   13  history | grep yum
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-12-86 ~]$ uname -a
Linux ip-172-31-12-86.us-west-2.compute.internal 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 29 17:29:29 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hi Greg - apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Have you managed to install BPMS 6.3 in the meantime? I just gave the installer a try in console mode, and had no issues in getting past the initial dialog.

Best regards, Martin

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your reply.

I installed Red Hat in VirtualBox locally, and got the same error behavior with the CLI. I tried both Java 7 & 8.

The GUI installer did work, so I got it up & running.

I would prefer to run in AWS, however. It would be super awesome if I did not have to fire up & access a windowing environment on the EC2 instance just to be able to run the installer, which would be what I'd try next to get it going in the cloud.

Thanks!

-Greg

Hi Greg,

I created a JIRA now to get this fixed: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RHBPMS-4056

In the meantime, you could use the following approach for a silent CLI installation:

(1) Run the installer in an environment where it works. At the end, enter 'y' when asked for an automatic installation script: Would you like to generate an automatic installation script and properties file? (y/n) [n]:y

(2) Copy the auto.xml and auto.xml.variables file to the virtual machine

(3) (Optional) Edit the two files to match the environment, in particular the path to the base EAP installation in /PATH/TO/eap64x

(4) Run the installer in automated mode: $ java -jar ~/Downloads/jboss-bpmsuite-6.3.0.GA-installer.jar -variablefile=auto.xml.variables auto.xml

I hope this helps.

Kind regards, Martin
