Deploying the Discover Electronics reference application silently using CAS

The silent deployment script is useful if you want to add the deployment of the Discover reference application to an install script, or push out the deployment on multiple machines.

The syntax to run the silent deployment is the following: 

On Windows: deploy.bat –-app <FULL_PATH_TO_DESCRIPTOR_FILE> --install-config <FULL_PATH_TO_RESPONSE_FILE> --no-prompt

On UNIX: deploy.sh –-app <FULL_PATH_TO_DESCRIPTOR_FILE> --install-config <FULL_PATH_TO_RESPONSE_FILE> --no-prompt

where the options have the following values. Note that both options are required.

Option

Description

FULL_PATH_TO_DESCRIPTOR_FILE

The full path to the descriptor file that uses CAS. For example, C:\Endeca\ToolsAndFrameworks\11.3.0\reference\discover-data-cas\deploy.xml

FULL_PATH_TO_RESPONSE_FILE

The full path to the response file which is used by the silent deployment script. For example, C:\Users\<myname>\install\cas_app_install_config.xml.

To deploy the Discover Electronics reference application silently:

  1. Ensure that the Content Acquisition System is installed. (See the Endeca CAS Installation Guide.)

  2. Ensure that the CAS_ROOT environment variable is set.

  3. Ensure that the Oracle Tools Service is running.

  4. If you haven't already, create a directory for deployed Endeca applications, such as C:\Endeca\Apps on Windows, or /usr/local/endeca/apps on UNIX.

  5. If you have logged into the Oracle Commerce Workbench and changed the admin password, run the manage_credentials.bat script to update credentials in the credential store.

    1. Navigate to the <installation path>\ToolsAndFrameworks\<version>\credential_store\bin directory on Windows, or the equivalent path on UNIX.

    2. Run the manage_credentials.bat script as follows: 

      manage_credentials.bat add --key ifcr

    3. Type yes when asked if you want to replace existing credential of type [password]

  6. In a text editor, create the response file and save it as cas_app_install_config.xml in the C:\Users\<myname>\Downloads\OCxmgr_installer<version>-win64\cd\Disk1\install directory. 

    <install app-name="Discover">
    <deployment-path>/localdisk/endeca/apps</deployment-path>

        <option name="casPort">8500</option>
        <option name="casRoot">/localdisk/endeca/CAS/11.3.0</option>
        <option name="jps-config-location">/localdisk/endeca/ToolsAndFrameworks/11.3.0/server/workspace/credential_store/jps-config.xml</option>
        <option name="application-export-directory">/localdisk/endeca/ToolsAndFrameworks/11.3.0/server/workspace/state/repository</option>
        <option name="authoring-application-export-directory">/localdisk/endeca/ToolsAndFrameworks/11.3.0/server/workspace/state/generation_data</option>
        <option name="language-code">zh-CN</option>
    </options>
</install>
