      The installer has been improved so that at the end of a GUI installation you can save to a file the options chosen, then use this as input to the installer to re-create the exact installation. This option can be useful when you need to deploy the same EAP installation to multiple servers: e.g. cluster nodes, bulk deployment of new EAP servers.

      To use this feature:

      <orderedlist>
        <listitem><para>Complete the installation;</para></listitem>
        <listitem><para>At the final panel, click on "Generate an automatic installation script" and save the file;</para></listitem>
        <listitem><para>Use the installation script as follows: <code>java -jar &lt;path to jar&gt; &lt;path to generated file&gt;</code>, e.g. <code>java -jar /home/tester/enterprise-installer.jar /home/tester/generatedfile</code></para></listitem>
      </orderedlist>

    Description

      This enhancement allows the user to, at the end of a standard GUI install, create a template that is filled in with the choices made with the install. An identical install can then be made without interacting with the GUI, through CLI.

          • Minor - To be worked after urgent, high, and medium priorities are resolved. This term is chosen when the severity of the issue is low, or the complexity or effort to correct it may be higher, relatively speaking. For low priority issues, known workarounds exist or are not needed due to the trivial effort needed to address the issue.
