Installation guide

Silent Installation of Pramati Server Using

XML

To install the server silently, save the file PServer41.jar on your local machine on both

Windows and Unix. Silent installation is especially useful in scenarios where the Server is

being installed inside another application, and shipped to end users.

There are two steps involved in silently installing Server:

1 Generating an XML file (using the PServer41.jar or manually)

2 Using the generated file to silently install Server

Follow the given instructions to generate the XML file using the PServer41.jar:

1 Verify your existing system configuration against the requirements for Pramati Server

described in ‘System Requirements for Installing Pramati Server’.

2 Execute java -jar PServer41.jar from the directory where the installation file is

downloaded (or from the CD, if you are installing from a product distribution CD).

3 To generate the XML file manually, copy the given sample lines of code in the template

XML file, edit it with your values, and then save it in the current directory:

<com.pramati.action.CDKeyPanelAction>

</com.pramati.action.CDKeyPanelAction>

<com.pramati.action.TargetPanelAction>

<installpath>c:\Pramati_Server</installpath>

</com.pramati.action.TargetPanelAction>

</AutomatedInstallation>

After generating the XML file, Server can be installed silently using this XML file. To install

Server silently, follow the given instructions:

1 Enter java -jar PServer41.jar -silent stu_template.xml at the command

prompt. Here stu_template is the name of the XML file, which was generated earlier.

2 Pressing the <enter> key runs the automated installation with all the default values in the

XML file, and the user is not prompted for any details.

3 To get help on the commands that can be used to install Server, enter java -jar

PServer41.jar -help at the command prompt.
