Installer 10.7 | Using Console Mode to Install | Generate Images for Multiple Operating Systems from an Image Generation Script | Generate Images
 
Generate Images
1. To generate an installation image from the image generation script, specify the -readImageScript parameter before the -console parameter on the command you run to start the installer. For the list of valid values for operating_system, see Create an Image. For example:
sh SoftwareAGInstalleryyyymm-operating_system.bin
-readImageScript full_path_to_existing_image_generation_script_file
full_path_to_new_image_file -console
You can specify any file name for the image that is permitted by your operating system. Do not specify an extension; the installer will automatically add the extension .zip. The directory to which you save the file must already exist.
By default, the installer generates the image for the operating system on which you are running the installer. If you want to generate the image for another operating system, specify the -imagePlatform parameter on the command. For example:
sh SoftwareAGInstalleryyyymm-operating_system.bin
-readImageScript full_path_to_existing_image_generation_script_file
full_path_to_new_image_file
-imagePlatform operating_system -console
Follow the usual image creation steps to select products and so on.
2. Repeat the previous step to create images for other operating systems.
Note:
Generating these images requires no user input, so you can automate the generation of these images if desired.
Important:
Do not extract or modify image files using any tool other than the installer.
