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 stored it to different location).
  3. Construct your silent installation command by using the example command below and list of available parameters.
  4. Test the silent installation command by opening command line (open Windows Start Menu and type cmd). 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 DBSETUP=ExistingDB 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\.
GLASSFISHDIR Glassfish installation directory, usually C:\Program Files\QPR Software Plc\QPR UI\Glassfish\.
DBSETUP Use value ExistingDB to define that an existing database is used, or NewDB for a new database. This corresponds to the installation wizard page 4 setting.
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
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.
