Customizing the Package Installer Program
You can customize and simplify the end user's package installer program by providing default values for installation location, port number, and backup schedule and by bypassing some panels in the installer program altogether.
Procedure
- Navigate to ContentDelivery_home/packages.
- Create a copy of the installer.properties.tmpl file, and rename the copy installer.properties.
The installer.properties file must reside in the same directory as installer.exe or installer.bin for the installer program to use it.
- Edit the file in a text editor.
- Change any of the following properties, and un-comment those properties that you want the installer program for the Legacy Content Delivery package to use.
Option Description USER_INSTALL_DIR Windows directory where Legacy Content Delivery will be installed on the user's system. This appears in the Choose Install Folder panel in the installer program. Enable either this property or
UNIX_USER_INSTALL_DIR, but not both. To create packages for users on different platforms, create a separate installer.properties file for each platform.Use forward slashes (/) in the path in this property.
By default,
C:/Program Files/XyEnterprise/SDL_LiveContentThis property cannot be bypassed in the installer program.
UNIX_USER_INSTALL_DIR Solaris or Linux directory where Legacy Content Delivery will be installed on the user's system. This appears in the Choose Install Folder panel in the installer program. Enable either this property or
USER_INSTALL_DIR, but not both. To create packages for users on different platforms, create a separate installer.properties file for each platform.By default,
/opt/XyEnterprise/SDL_LiveContentThis property cannot be bypassed in the installer program.
SYS_JAVA_HOME Directory where Java (JDK) will be installed on the user's system. This appears in the Choose the Java Runtime Environment panel in the installer program. By default,
/usr/java/jdk1.7This property cannot be bypassed in the installer program.
USER_PORT Port on which the user's Legacy Content Delivery instance will run. This appears in the Set Port Number panel in the installer program.
The default setting is
4444.BYPASS_USER_PORT Set to
trueto bypass the Set Port Number panel in the installer program when the end user installs the Legacy Content Delivery package.Use this property in conjunction with
USER_PORT.The default setting is
true.USER_BACKUPS Frequency with which the Legacy Content Delivery database backup runs on the user's system.
The default setting is
Weekly.BYPASS_USER_BACKUPS Set to
trueto bypass the Choose Backup Schedule panel in the installer program when the end user installs the Legacy Content Delivery package.Use this property in conjunction with
USER_BACKUPS.The default setting is
true.BYPASS_COPY_LICENSE Set to
trueto bypass the Choose License File panel in the installer program when the end user installs the Legacy Content Delivery package.Contact SDL to determine licensing needs for your site.
The default setting is
true.BYPASS_ADMIN_PASSWORD Use this to simplify installation of satellite systems. If you send packages to external sites, you can leave the default administrator password and distribute systems without changing the password.
Set to true to bypass the Enter Administrator Password panel in the installer program when the end user installs the Legacy Content Delivery package.
Note: If an administrator password has been set on the end user Legacy Content Delivery instance, do not set this to true.The default setting is
true.INSTALL_LICENSE_SERVER If Legacy Content Delivery will be used on the end user's system only for browsing publications and commenting, set to
falseso the install license server is not installed.Note: The license server is installed only during the initial installation of Legacy Content Delivery. If you believe at some point in the future you may need the license server on the end user system, set this value totrue.The default setting is
true.
