To create an EAR file after running the installer

To create an EAR file (typically for use in a cluster installation), you run the installer in console mode, from the command line. For Marketing Operations cluster installations, typically you create an EAR that includes the unica.war and the plan.war. Then you deploy the EAR on each of the servers in your cluster.

1.	Put the WAR files in a single directory.

2.	Make a backup copy of the installer .properties file for each of your installed products.

Find the .properties files in the same directory as the IBM® product installers. They are named installer_product.properties, except for the file for the IBM® installer itself, which is named installer.properties.

This backup step is especially important when you run the installer in unattended mode and your installation requires more than one EAR. When the installer runs in unattended mode, it clears these files. To create an EAR file, you need the information that the installer writes in the .properties files during the initial install.

3.	Open a command window and change directories to the directory that contains the installer.

4.	Run the installer executable with this option:

-DUNICA_GOTO_CREATEEARFILE=TRUE

On UNIX-type systems, run the .bin file rather than the .sh file.

The installer wizard runs.

5.	Follow the instructions in the wizard.

6.	If you need to create additional EAR files, overwrite the .properties file or files with the backup(s) you created before you ran the installer in console mode for the first time.
