When a profile is imported, the content will be verified to determine whether it can be applied. One profile cannot be
applied to every computer because not all settings and configuration are applicable for both Agent or Client. For
example, when Agent attempts to import the profile exported by Client or another Agent which is connecting with
different UPS, the imported profile cannot be applied completely.
Import Profile on Installation
PowerPanel Business Edition installer has the capability to import a profile in unattended installation mode. In order to
reduce the interaction with users, the installation will be launched in unattended mode.
Copy the below example code and save as the new file named setup.varfile.
installModule=agent_or_client
installationDir=ppbe_installation_directory
profilePath=exported_zip_location
programGroupName=CyberPower PowerPanel Business Edition
Users can assign the installation module, installation directory and the located folder of the profile:
installModule. Sets which module wish to install. This should be agent or client.
Note. If the installation module is Center and Agent, this should be agent¢er; if the installation module is
Center and Client, this should be client¢er.
installationDir. Assigns the absolute path of the installation directory of PowerPanel Business Edition, e.g.
C:/Programs/CyberPower PowerPanel Business Edition/PowerPanel Business Edition or /opt/ppbe.
profilePath. Assigns the absolute and complete path of the profile which is located, e.g. C:/Import/profile.zip or
/import/profile.zip.
programGroupName. Assigns the program group name which is used the folder name in the start menu to
PowerPanel Business Edition software, the default name is CyberPower PowerPanel Business Edition.
Place the setup.varfile and installer in the same directory and make sure that filename must be the same, e.g.
setup.exe and setup.following. Different filename will result in unknown fault during installation.
For Windows, run the below command to launch the installation in the command prompt:
setup.exe –q –console –Dinstall4j.detailStdout=true
For most Linux distributions, run the following command to launch the installation in terminal:
sudo setup.sh –q –console –Dinstall4j.detailStdout=true
After the installation is complete, the profile will be imported and all settings will be applied successfully.
Note. When you would like to upgrade the pre-installed Agent or Client during the unattended installation, set the
installationDir parameter blank. The installer will automatically detect where preinstallation PPBE directory locates
and attempt to complete the upgrade installation.
Computers which never installed Agent or Client can be installed the PPBE by assigning a valid path. Assigning a
blank path to the installationDir parameter during the unattended installation will allow the installer to use the default
path as the installation directory. C:/Program Files/CyberPower PowerPanel Business Edition/ will be the default
