The link that I sent has this "inside link'

If you scroll down that page in the link that I sent you will see
Using a server setup profile  internal link.

Here is an external link to the same place approximately.


http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.domino.admin85.doc/H_DOING_A_SILENT_SERVER_SETUP_STEPS.html

It describes how to record and use setup .pds file on different platforms. It also  includes  instructions for a remote silent setup (not install).


You can edit some parameters, e.g.

/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/java -cp /opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/cfgdomserver.jar lotus.domino.setup.DominoServerProfileEdit -OtherDirectoryServerName <other directory> <your pds>
/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/java -cp /opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/cfgdomserver.jar lotus.domino.setup.DominoServerProfileEdit -OtherDirectoryServerAddress <other server address> <your pds>
/opt/ibmdomino/notes/latest//linux/java -cp /opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/cfgdomserver.jar lotus.domino.setup.DominoServerProfileEdit -HostName <host name> <your pds>

/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/java -cp /opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest/linux/cfgdomserver.jar lotus.domino.setup.DominoServerProfileEdit -dump <your pds>


Last line will print names of all parameters you are able to change.


You can also specify  several parameters in one command line:


-AdminPassword<pwd> -OrganizationPassword <org pwd>  -ServerPassword <pwd> -HostName `hostname` -OrganizationName <orgname>  -ServerName <servername>

This is about as much editing as you can have.


Thanks,
Irina Khasin.

Thanks, and....
Thanks a lot for your answer Irina. I had already looked at that page in the Infocenter, but I could not find any information about editing.
The options you have listed:
/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/java -cp /opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/cfgdomserver.jar lotus.domino.setup.DominoServerProfileEdit -OtherDirectoryServerName <other directory> <your pds>
/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/java -cp /opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/cfgdomserver.jar lotus.domino.setup.DominoServerProfileEdit -OtherDirectoryServerAddress <other server address> <your pds>
/opt/ibmdomino/notes/latest//linux/java -cp /opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/cfgdomserver.jar lotus.domino.setup.DominoServerProfileEdit -HostName <host name> <your pds>

/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest//linux/java -cp /opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest/linux/cfgdomserver.jar lotus.domino.setup.DominoServerProfileEdit -dump <your pds>

are not there. Or am I not looking in the right place ?
Thanks again

That's a shortcut, you probably should use UI to modify profile
I don't see "silent modification" described online actually, maybe it's not officially supported

You can do serversetup -playback or remoteserversetup -playback  using GUI and modify your profile prior to using it
.
More information about those are in help9_admin.nsf,  - but in short - you use setup GUI to modify your existing setup profile (.pds).  

I think, however, the original question had something to do with modifying setup on the fly.

Meaning of the original question
Hi Irina
We would like to automate the Domino installation and setup. Our goal ( assuming is possible ) is to run the install and setup from a script, either giving the needed settings as parameters or using a property file. So we would need a way to change the pds file without having to use a GUI. For example you can do this for WebSphere App Server or DB2, there's no need for a GUI to install and configure them.

Thanks

You can change "dumped" variables (see my earlier link)
or you can also use passwords file as described in documentation.
That's about all options I can think of right now.
Irina.
