Supported Parameters for Starting Update Manager
Update Manager can be started with a set of parameters, depending on what you are trying to do. The table below contains the parameters you can include in your start command.
Parameter
Description
Example
-readScript
When you specify this parameter, Update Manager uses scripted execution of tasks instead of manual.
./UpdatemanagerGUI.sh -readScript myScript.txt
-showAll
Shows all fix versions for the corresponding product, not only the latest one.
-showAll works for fixes that are released after fix that is already installed on the current environment. For example, if there is fix 3 installed and there are fix 4 and fix 5 available, Update Manager will show fix 3 installed fix 4 available and fix 5 available. Fixes with version lower than the one installed on the environment are not shown.
./UpdatemanagerCMD.sh -showAll true
-checksumEnabled
Enables verification of the checksum of the downloaded fixes.
This check is only for the fixes. The check is done in the Update Manager client. No launcher checks are triggered by this property.
Launcher checks are performed automatically after the components and the checksums from the V2 Server.
./UpdatemanagerGUI.sh -checksumEnabled true
-dumpAll
Redirects the error log to the command line.
./UpdatemanagerGUI.sh -dumpAll true
-installDir
Specifies the directory with Software AG products to run Update Manager with.
./UpdatemanagerGUI.sh -installDir /opt/softwareag
