Silent Install 9.1 - devtestlic

[Relbou]

Hello,

 

I try to industrialize the unstall of the 8.4 to install in silent mode the 9.1 version.

 

I put this in the response.varfile:

# install4j response file for DevTest Solutions 9.1.0 (build 9.1.0.399)

autostartServices$Boolean=false

caAgreementChoice=2

createDesktopLinkAction$Boolean=true

enterpriseDashboardHost=nceslisaserver.************

enterpriseDashboardPort=1506

enterpriseDashboardServer=nceslisaserver.************:1506

installDemoServer=No

installServer=Yes

installServices$Boolean=true

installWorkstation=Yes

installationType$Integer=0

steAssociation$Boolean=true

stgAssociation$Boolean=true

sys.adminRights$Boolean=true

sys.installationDir=D\:\\opt\\CA\\DevTest\\DevTest-9.1

sys.languageId=en

sys.programGroupAllUsers$Boolean=true

sys.programGroupDisabled$Boolean=false

sys.programGroupName=DevTest Solutions

tstAssociation$Boolean=true

vsiAssociation$Boolean=true

vsmAssociation$Boolean=true

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

when I try the command ligne, the process stop after 5 secs but if I put the devtestlic.xml in the same folder, the install work.

 

It's mandatory to put the devtestlic.xml in the same folder to use the silent install mode ?

 

Thank you for your help.

Hi Julien,

 

I believe you need to specify where is the license file by using the following property in the response.varfile:

licenseXmlFile=C\:\\Path\\to\\the\\license\\file\\devtestlic.xml

 

Thanks,

Hello Maria Heloisa,

 

I don't understand why we need to use the devtetlic.xml , if we put this:

 

enterpriseDashboardService=tcp\://XXXXXXXXXXX.net\:2003/EnterpriseDashboard

 

The goal is use a script to install the workstation into all user computer so I don't want duplicate the licence file.

Hi Relbou, 

 

   As a best practice use the devtestlic.xml only for installation where you start the  Enterprise dashboard server but for installations where you start workstations or any other components like Registry , VSE  you should alway point  it to enterprise dashboard server to check-out the license. 

 

Add the follwing in local.properties file  for  DevTest 8.XX

enterpriseDashboardService=tcp\://XXXXXXXXXXX.net\:2003/EnterpriseDashboard

 

and for 9.XX or above add the following 

 

devtest.enterprisedashboard.host=XXXXXXXXXXX.net
devtest.enterprisedashboard.port=1506
devtest.enterprisedashboard.https.enabled=false

 

 

Thanks ,

Do you have a property called installEnterpriseDashboard=No configured in your varfile?  Maybe if the property is missing, the installer presumes the Ent Dashboard is also being installed thus requiring the license.  I do not know if the property causes the installer to skip the lookup for the license file or not.  

 

The installEnterpriseDashboard property is documented here:  Installing DevTest Solutions with a Silent Install - DevTest Solutions - 8.4 - CA Technologies Documentation

Can your enterprise dashboard server reachable from your machine where you are starting the registry ? 

 

 

Thanks,
