There is the silent installation option available for QPR UI, in which the installation is done in command line instead of the installation wizard. Silent installation allows to fully automate QPR UI installation.

Silent installation procedure

  1. Download QPR UI installation package (link is available in this wiki's mainpage).
  2. Store the installation package to C:\temp\ (this is an example location; you may store it to different location).
  3. Construct your silent installation command by using the example command below and list of available parameters.
  4. Run the silent installation command by opening an elevated command prompt (open Windows Start Menu, type cmd, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as administrator). Paste the command to the command line and press enter.
  5. Check that QPR UI has been installed correctly. Check also the installation log file for errors.

Silent installation command

Silent installation command has the following syntax: 

[InstallerExePath] /s /v"/qn /Lv \"[InstallerLogFilePath]\" parametername1=parametervalue1 parametername2=parametervalue2 ... parameternameN=parametervalueN"

Example command: 

C:\temp\QPR_UI.exe /s /v"/qn /Lv \"C:\temp\MDBInstallLog.txt\" INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\QPR Software Plc\QPR UI\" GLASSFISHDIR=\"C:\Program Files\QPR Software Plc\QPR UI\Glassfish\" IS_SQLSERVER_SERVER=localhost IS_SQLSERVER_USERNAME=myusername IS_SQLSERVER_PASSWORD=mypassword IS_SQLSERVER_DATABASE=QPREntice IS_SQLSERVER_AUTHENTICATION=1 MEAWSURL=http://localhost/metrics/Portal/QPR.Isapi.dll/wsforward/MainService.svc/webHttp/ PAWSURL=http://localhost/current/MainService.svc/webHttp/ SSOS=WAS,http://localhost/metrics/Portal/QPR.Isapi.dll;PA,http://localhost/current/MainService.svc/webHttp/; WS,http://localhost/metrics/Portal/QPR.Isapi.dll/wsforward/MainService.svc/webHttp/ "

Silent installation parameters

Following parameters are available:

Parameter name Description
INSTALLDIR QPR UI installation directory, usually C:\Program Files\QPR Software Plc\QPR UI\.
GFADMINPORT GlassFish Server Administration Console port. When this setting is not defined, the standard port 4848 is used. Changing the GlassFish Server Administration Console port should only be done, if the standard port cannot be used.
GLASSFISHDIR Glassfish installation directory, usually C:\Program Files\QPR Software Plc\QPR UI\Glassfish\.
IS_SQLSERVER_SERVER SQL Server hostname and optionally port in the format host:port. The port can be left out by using format host. When the port is left out, the SQL Server default port 1433 is used.
IS_SQLSERVER_DATABASE QPR UI database name in the SQL Server. By default it is QPREntice (the name reflects the internal technology used by QPR Software).
USERDOMAIN Domain name for database user account. Used in Windows authentication. This setting is stored to QPR UI GlassFish server.
IS_SQLSERVER_USERNAME SQL Server username for database authentication. This setting is stored to QPR UI GlassFish server.
IS_SQLSERVER_PASSWORD SQL Server user password for database authentication. This setting is stored to QPR UI GlassFish server.
IS_SQLSERVER_AUTHENTICATION Use value 1 for SQL Server authentication and 0 for Windows authentication. This corresponds to the installation wizard page 5 setting. This setting is needed when configuring QPR UI GlassFish server.
MEAWSURL QPR Suite Web Service location. This parameter is stored to QPR UI database configuration table as setting name MEA_SERVICE_LOCATION.
PAWSURL QPR ProcessAnalyzer Web Service location. This parameter is stored to QPR UI database configuration table as setting name PA_SERVICE_LOCATION.
SSOS Common QPR Authentication settings. This parameter is stored to QPR UI database configuration table as setting name AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES.
SKIPDBVALIDATION Use value 1 to skip the database connection validation during the installation. Use value 0 to enable the database connection validation. If this setting is left out, the database connection validation is enabled. Database connection validation may be disabled in special cases, when the database connection validation fails for some reason, although the database connection from GlassFish will eventually work.
UPGRADERESULT This parameter defines if you are doing an upgrade installation. The value of this parameter should be 1 when an upgrade installation is made.
SAML_AUTOMATIC_LOGIN,
SAML_CONSUMER_URL,
SAML_METADATA_URL,
SAML_REDIRECT_URL,
SAML_SERVER_ENTITY_IDENTIFIER,
SAML_SIGNING_CERTIFICATE,
SAML_USER_ID_ATTRIBUTE 		Federated authentication parameters that are stored in the QPR UI database with same setting names as these silent installation parameter names. Note that other federated authentication related database settings cannot be set by the silent installation.
