Preparing the inputparameters.xml file

The inputparameters.xml file stores parameters that are used by the Content Manager installer; therefore, the file must accurately reflect your environment before proceeding with installation. Only the mandatory parameters need to be considered in the vast majority of installations. The optional parameters cover rare and advanced cases.

Before you begin

Before modifying the inputparameters.xml file, you need to do the following:
  • Obtain and install the certificate.
  • Configure HTTPS bindings.

Procedure

  1. From the __InstallTool folder of the installation directory, open the inputparameters.xml file for editing.
  2. Edit the values of all mandatory parameters. Refer to the related topic for details.
    Each parameter in the inputparameters.xml file has the following syntax:
    <param name="parameter">
        <currentvalue>value</currentvalue>
        <defaultvalue>example_value</defaultvalue>
        <description>description_of_how_used</description>
        <validate>if_validated</validate>
    </param>
    The XML elements perform the following functions:
    <currentvalue>
    Contains the value that is used by the Content Manager installer.
    <defaultvalue>
    Contains a predefined value as an example. Do not use the predefined value as a default value; its only purpose is to serve as an example.
    <description>
    Contains details describing how the current value of the parameter is used.
    <validate>
    Defines whether the value of the parameter is validated or not. If the element is empty, no validation is performed. The <validate> values are provided, and they should not be modified.
  3. Edit the values of all optional parameters, as needed. Refer to the related topic for details.
  4. Save and close the file.
