Installing IAS silently on Windows

The silent installer is useful if you want to add the IAS installation to an install script, or push out the installation on multiple machines. The silent installer is not interactive.

The syntax to run the silent installation is the following: 
start /wait ias-version-arch-OS.exe /s 
/l=full path to the installer log file\installer.log
[IASHOST=localhost] [IASPORT=8510] [IASSTOPPORT=8516] 
[TARGETDIR=C:\Oracle\Endeca\IAS] USERNAME=endeca 
PASSWORD=endecapwd DOMAINNAME=domain
where the options have the following values:
Option Description
ias-version-arch-OS.exe Required. Specifies the installation program to run in silent mode.
/s Required. Specifies that the IAS installer runs in silent mode.
/l Optional. The logging option (/l=) provides useful information from silent installer failures. The specified directory must be a full path.
IASHOST Optional. Specifies the host name of the machine where you want to install and run IAS. If the omitted, the default value is localhost.
IASPORT Optional. Specifies the port on which IAS Service is listening. If the omitted, the default value is 8510.
IASSTOPPORT Optional. Specifies the port to stop the IAS Service. If the omitted, the default value is 8516.
TARGETDIR Optional. You can replace C:\Oracle\Endeca with the location to which you want to install. However, if you set the install location to a drive that does not exist, the silent installation fails with a non-zero status code.
USERNAME Required. Species the user running the Endeca IAS Service. This is typically the specified as the endeca user.
PASSWORD Required. Specifies the corresponding password for the USERNAME option.
DOMAINNAME Required. Specifies the domain of the USERNAME option.

To launch the silent installer:

  1. From a command prompt, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer.
  2. Issue the start command and at a minimum specify the required options described above.

Example

start /wait F:\endeca-installers\ias-3.0.0-x86_64pc-win32.exe  /s /l=F:\endeca-installers\logs\ias-install.log  
IASHOST=hostname.us.oracle.com  TARGETDIR=F:\oracle\endeca\IAS USERNAME=JSMITH
