Command Line Parameters for Silent Install with Status for BI4.0 Products

For the XI3.1 product installations, which clearly leveraged MSIEXEC installation files, it was possible to use the /qb+ command line parameter to trigger a silent install which showed the progress of the installation with a final prompt to acknowledge the completion of the installation.
For the new BI4.0 installation package, it's not clear how to trigger a silent installation which also shows the installation progress.  The installation guide describes using -q in the command line to run a silent installation, or leveraging a response.ini file to trigger a silent install, but in neither case does it show how to modify the silent installation command to enable a display of the installation progress.
Does anyone know the syntax, either command line or embedded in a response.ini file, to trigger a silent installation for the BI4.0 products which ALSO shows the progress of the installations?
Thanks,
Josh

Yes, I've tried the same switch that I used for the XI3.1 installations, namely "/qb".  In XI3.1 I was able to use this switch either directly in the MSIEXEC command line or in the Response.ini file as "QUIET=/qb".  In either case, this switch resulted in a silent install that showed a progress bar window for the installation, completing with a confirmation prompt indicating that the installation had completed.
Neither approach works with the BI4.0 installation packages.  My suspicion is that SAP has switched to a different installation engine as I can't find the typical .msi installation files that would indicate this is a MSIEXEC installation.  I'm hoping someone knows what type of installation engine is being used and what the switching syntax is for silent installs. But it can't be a completely transparent silent install (I know how to do this); it must provide an option to show an installation progress bar.
Thanks,
Josh

  • InstallShield command line parameters when launching install

    Hi,
    I am attempting to install Ver 5.0.1.4 (same error occurs with ver 4.x)and after the .exe unpackages, I get the following error: InstallShield - command line parameters... etc etc..
    I have attempted to uninstall all Apple apps and reinstall. The iPod Updater reinstalls without error, iTunes always returns the above error. I have performed the following steps:
    1. msiexec /regserver - reboot
    2. uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Installer 3.1 KB893803v2
    3. clearing the %temp% dir
    4. deleting the Program Files/Common Files/InstallShield/Engine contents
    5. rebooting, cursing and taking numerous mental 'time-outs'
    I'm running XP SP2 w/ all updates. Zonealarm FW - disabled, McAfee Virusscan - disabled, and no active anti-spy software.
    I've scoured the forums for help on this issue and can't find any. Google also hasn't been much help.
    Does anyone know how to get past this error?
    Cheers

    Jakub,
    I've seen people complain about this problem a time or two, but it's very rare. I'm told that you can work around this problem by downloading the winrar application and opening that to uncompress the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • Silent install with registration number

    Is there a way to embed the registration number into the command line of a silent install for Crystal Reports 2008? That way users won't have to enter it after the install.

    You can use the PIDKEY silent command line option.
    I am pasting a snippet from page 27 the Crystal Report 2008 Install Guide pdf.
    There is also a table of the most common command line switches available.
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008/en/xir3_cr_install_en.pdf
    =======================================================================
    Command line silent installation
    The silent installation command consists of the command setup.exe, followed
    by a number of parameters that provide information about the installation.
    The following example creates a sub-directory /Crystal Reports and installs
    Crystal Reports into it:
    setup.exe ADDLOCAL=ALL CLIENTLANGUAGE=<%langcode%> REBOOT=Re
    allySuppress PIDKEY=<%keycode%> INSTALLDIR="C:\Program
    Files\Business Objects" /qn
    u2022 <%langcode%> Replace this variable with a valid language code from the
    following table.
    u2022 <%keycode%> Replace this variable with a valid product activation keycode.
    The example uses the most common parameters. You can choose any
    number of valid parameters, but it is good practice to keep the silent
    installation as simple as possible.

  • Command line parameters for OMBPlus?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to pass command line parameters to TCL scripts running in OMBPlus.sh, and if so, can someone provide an example?
    I'm able to use the argv0 variable to get the script name itself but not sure how to get any other additional parms...
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Jim,
    If you are building command-line scripts to automate OMB+ commands, there is another factor you should be aware of. If your script errors out cleanly, the OMBPlus.sh does NOT pass this back to the shell. The return code is evaluated within OMBPlus as the return from a "source" command and then OMBPlus exits normally.
    For example:
    #file test.tcl
    return -code error
    Unix/shell> OMBPlus.sh test.tcl
    Unix/shell> echo $?
    0What I do to pass an error state back to the shell is to create a flag file in my script if exiting due to error. My shell script deletes this file prior to running the script and then tests for it after the run as part of the conditional logic
    Function in tcl file:
    #Get location where this script installed
    #This variable is set at the top of the script.
    set theScriptDir  [ file dirname [info script]]
    #If we want to bail in the script at any point we call exit_failure with an appropriate error message
    proc exit_failure { msg } {
       global theScriptDir 
       set ERRFLAGFILE "$theScriptDir/ers_owb_import.error"
    #rollback any uncommitted work
       OMBROLLBACK
    #Log the error and exit
       set fout [open "$ERRFLAGFILE" a+]     
       puts $fout "Error:-> $msg"
       close $fout
       # return and also bail from calling function
       return -code error
    }And my shell script does something like:
    cd ${JOB_DIR}
    rm -f ers_owb_import.error 2>/dev/null
    echo \\nBegining Uninstall of OWB Project
    ./OMBPlus.sh ${JOB_DIR}/my_tcl_Script.tcl
    if [ -f ${JOB_DIR}/ers_owb_import.error ] ; then
          echo \\nERROR - SCRIPT FAILED
    else
         echo \\nScript Succeeded.
         # script logic continues....

  • Can't install trial version--command line parameters

    I'm considering buying Lightroom and have downloaded the trial version, but I can't install it.  I get the following<br />Command Line Parameters:<br /><br />/L language ID<br />/S Hide initialization dialog. For silent mode use: /S/v/qn<br />/V parameters to MSIExec.ese<br />/UA<url to InstMsiA.exe><br />/UW<url to InstMsiW.exe><br />/UM<url to msi package><br /><br />Please help.  I don't know what this means<br /><br />thanks

    Hi Cherie,
    Here's how you do it.
    1. Start the installation from the downloaded file or the CD.
    2. You will have a folder Lightroom 2.0.
    3. In that folder go to the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 folder.
    4. Right click on "setup32.exe" and drag it to release it anywhere in the empty space.
    5. You will get 3 options.
    6. Choose the "Create Shortcut here" option.
    7. Once the shortcut is created, right-click on the shortcut and choose properties.
    8. In the target area, which might look some thing like this "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\Adobe\Lightroom 2.0\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\setup32.exe" go to the end of the line and add "/s" without the quotes.
    9. The same line would look <"C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\Adobe\Lightroom 2.0\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\setup32.exe" /s>
    10. Click on Apply and then on OK.
    11. Double -click on the shortcut and the program will install.
    12. Try it! Thought the steps appear lengthy, they worked on the 3 PCs that I tried on. :)

  • Command line parameters for automator?

    I'm trying to setup a cron job to so that every morning at 8 am "New Mail.workflow" will open and run. I'm able to get it to open but I was wondering if there were command line parameters for Automator that could open AND run a workflow file? Ideally I'd like it to close after running, but I'll worry about that later. Thanks in advance.

    The preferred way is to save your workflow as an application and then call usr/bin/open on it. If for some reason you must have the workflow run inside of Automator (not self-contained) then you're looking at some quality time with man osascript. As it happens Apple has removed even the need for Cron for most users. A click to File -> Save As Plug-In -> for iCal handles it from start to finish.
    Edit: I forgot to mention that Automator has its own simple command line utility for running *.workflow files. Check out man automator

  • XSQL Command-Line, parameters with blanks

    Is it possible to use XSQL Command-Line with parameters containing blanks (space characters).
    In an URL parameter spaces can be encoded with "+" or "%20", but this does'nt seem to work with XSQL Command-Line parameters.
    -- Peter

    I can't make this work on Unix (solaris), but I can see it is a shell script problem, not a XSQL problem.
    The normal syntax for Unix shell script would be
    $ script.sh foo="one two"
    but the standard Oracle-supplied xsql unix shell script sets environment and passes all command-line parameters to the java program with
    oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLCommandLine $*
    and thereby the quotes disappear.
    The problem is not really big, since I could just do
    oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLCommandLine test.xsql "foo=one two"
    after setting classpath. Anyway, if anybody knows how to make the xsql script work with quoted parameters, let me know.

  • Command Line Parameters for spotify.exe? (Windows 7)

    I've been trying to use Windows Speech Recognition to open music. The problem is, the WSR Macros only open the executable then ask you if you want to run the program with command-line parameters. What I want to do is say the album or the artist then have Spotify open and play that artist/album; I can't do that until I figure out how to open spotify with parameters, if there are even any. Thanks for your help. (I also know how Spotify has had multiple suggestions for this to be integrated in the application itself, but I'm trying to just use Windows Speech Recog)

  • Running a class with command line parameters from IDE

    Hi there,
    I want to run a class from with the developer IDE. But I also want to pass in some command line parameters. Is there any way to do this from within the IDE, without having to go out to a Dos Prompt or shell?
    Thanks in advance
    Johnny

    In JDeveloper 10.1.3, Project Properties->Run/Debug->Edit
    choose the program that should be be the default run target.
    Click "Tool Settings" in the left pane and then in the right pane under "Additional Runner Options" select "Allow program input".
    It works, but the input works better in the command prompt. The problem is that after entering one input the Input-line looses focus and one have to click it to re-focus. A bug?
    However, this lets me use the "Run" button. All in all, a more efficient way of developing programs.

  • Command line parameters and resuming

    Hi,
    I am researching for a client who wishes to have several students (K-12) using Adobe Captivate course on the same computer. Another constraint is that a course is run from DVD (1+ GB in size) so it's published as standalone application (.exe for Windows, .app for Mac). Quick questions:
    Can a course have an action to parse command line parameters? I haven't found that.
    Explanation: this would be used to simply parse a name and e-mail address (if possible) and last module passed to a course player. Resuming could be disabled (there is an answer how to do that in the forum) or overridden but the learner should be transferred to a slide to resume based on the calling parameter (and not the default resuming - there will be several users so each must resume from the last passed module slide).
    Can a progress of the current learner using the course be saved to a database (no LMS, e-mail, Acrobat.com etc)?
    Explanation: this is needed for the current learner and for each one separately. I guess I already have a solution in mind (custom application, having small internal web server like Mongoose, with a script that replaces internalServerReporting.php and saves the data to a internal database, SQLite). But for this to work spawning a course with command line parameters and course itself reading these parameters would need to work.
    If there is a (better) solution for the above, please reply. The goal is have minimal changes on the course e.g. if there are command line parameters, then parse them and do something (mark modules passed, open appropriate next slide). If parameters are not given/recognized, do nothing (so the course would still work on computers used by one learner only, including resuming etc).
    My opinion is that this should also be one-way as much as possible. E.g. additional application handles user name, e-mail and current progress and spawns Captivate course. The published course itself should not depend on the application like reading progress from a text file (though an URL call could return current progress from an application for the same user name). So ideally only changes to use internal server publishing to save current progress and adding a logic to check parameters at start would be applied to a course.
    Waiting for your smart answers.
    Matt

    DVDs, when finalized, are read-only... so unless you are considering to do an Install of the course from the DVD to the machine, you're not going to be able to write to a database.  A USB stick may be more suitable in this situation.
    Command line params are not possible with EXEs unless you create your own EXE wrapper.  If you're going to go through that trouble, you'd be better off creating an Adobe Air application that can run your local web content without security restrictions and use SQLite or some other backend to store the data.
    Can the progress be saved?  It depends what you mean by progress.  If you just want to allow the student to resume from the slide where they left off... you can do that with a bit of JavaScript.  However, if you want to ensure that any previous questions answered on a quiz were also resumed and intact from the previous session... not possible without an LMS.
    Why not run a Moodle installation via a USB stick and you can have a full featured LMS with a database and ability to resume a previous session?
    http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Installation_guide_-_Moodle_for_Windows_on_a_USB_Memory_Stick
    Just some things to consider...

  • Command Line Parameters Nightmare!

    My issue--and it seems to only be my issue--is with the Command Line Parameters. I have been trying to install iTunes 5.0 for five days now. I have tried everything posted in these forums. Dmitry, thanks for such a great resource; it helped some, but not with this one problem, unfortunately.

  • BSM / audit_syslog ... how to get command line parameters in syslog?

    Hi All!
    I have been experimenting with Sun Basic Security Module (BSM) and was trying to send audit data via syslog to a central logging server like so:
    # cat /etc/security/audit_startup
    /usr/sbin/auditconfig -setpolicy +argv,arge
    # cat /etc/security/audit_control
    plugin: name=audit_syslog.so;p_flags=lo,ex,fr,fc,fd,fw,fmThis does produce the desired log output on the central logging server, except that the log lines do not contain command line parameters / environment variables:
    2008-10-14T15:04:26-06:00 csadm4/csadm4 audit: [ID 702911 audit.notice] execve(2) ok session 1576737601 by rem_adm as root:root in csadm4 from csadm1-16.shell.ca obj /usr/bin/lessAs this makes it pretty useless for keeping proper audit records (there is a difference between
    rm ~/file and
    rm /file that I would like to see) I was wondering if there is a way to customize what is actually produced by audit_syslog.so?
    Thanks in advance,

    No, your plugin doesn't get any access to the command line.  Look for other methods of IAC (COM, DDE, shared memory, shared file, etc.)
