Running the post install silently

The ArcGIS Server post installation process can be executed silently. The GIS Server post install configures and authorizes the Server Object Manager and Server Object Container. This topic details the command line parameters required to silently configure and authorize ArcGIS Server for use.

 

Note

Example command lines for running the post install silently are provided at the bottom of the page.

 

GIS Server post install

The GIS Server post install configures and authorizes ArcGIS Server for use. If both the Server Object Manager and the Server Object Container are installed, the GIS Server post install configures and authorizes the ArcGIS Server installation. If only the Server Object Manager is installed, the GIS Server post install only configures the ArcGIS Server installation. If only the Server Object Container is installed, the GIS Server post install configures and authorizes the ArcGIS Server installation.

 

Configure ArcGIS Server silently:

A server configuration file is required to run the GIS Server post install silently. The configuration file required is created when the ArcGIS Server post install is run manually.  

The GIS Server post install must be run manually at least one time to create a server configuration file.  The exported server configuration file can be used to execute the GIS Server post install silently on other machines.

 

After a server configuration file has been created, use the command below to run the GIS Server post install silently.

 

<ArcGIS installation location>\ArcGIS\bin\ServerPostInstall.exe /readconfig C:\<path to server configuration file>configurationfile.xml

 

For example:

C:\Program files\ArcGIS\bin\ServerPostInstall.exe /readconfig C:\config_files\PostInstallConfig.xml

 

Authorize ArcGIS Server:

 

<ArcGIS installation location>\ArcGIS\bin\SoftwareAuthorization.exe /LIF <path to .ecp authorization file>authorizationfile.ecp /S

 

For example:

C:\Program files\ArcGIS\bin\SoftwareAuthorization.exe /LIF C:\Server93_authorization.ecp /S

 

Post install command line examples

The examples below can be used as a template to build a batch file that will configure, and authorize ArcGIS Server for the Java Platform silently. Installation command line parameters can be incorporated to install, configure, and authorize ArcGIS Server with one batch file.  See Installing ArcGIS Server silently for more information on installation command line parameters.
