Automate cluster installations

If you want to install Spotfire Statistics Services on several computers, you can perform a silent Spotfire Statistics Services installation by providing a response file to the installer. You can use this approach to automate Spotfire Statistics Services installations.

There are two methods for creating a response file for automated cluster installations.

  • Create a valid response file by automatically recording the responses that you select or type when you run the installation wizard, and then use it in subsequent installations.
  • To create a response file based on the Response File template. We recommend this method.
  • Recording and running a response file
    To create a valid Spotfire Statistics Services response file manually, you can set a switch to automatically record the responses that you select or type when you run the installation wizard. Then you can use another switch to perform a silent installation.
  • Response file template
    You can create a valid Spotfire Statistics Services response file for automating cluster installations by basing it on the response file template.
