Installing the Spotfire Server files (silently on Windows)

Instead of running the installation wizard, you can install the Spotfire Server files silently by running the installer from the command prompt.

Before you begin

The Spotfire database has been prepared; for instructions, see Spotfire database setup.

Note: For security and product performance reasons, it is recommended that you install Spotfire Server on a different computer than the database.

About this task

To use the interactive installation wizard instead of the command prompt installation, see Installing the Spotfire Server files (interactively on Windows).

Procedure

Open a command prompt as an administrator.

Edit the default parameters in the following script. Make sure that none of the ports that you select are already in use.

“c:\Desktop\TIB_sfire_server_version_win\setup-win64.exe" INSTALLDIR="C:\<MySpotfireServer>" SPOTFIRE_WINDOWS_SERVICE=Create SERVER_FRONTEND_PORT=8888 SERVER_BACKEND_REGISTRATION_PORT=7777 SERVER_BACKEND_COMMUNICATION_PORT=6666 NODEMANAGER_HOST_NAMES=localhost -silent -log "C:\Users\user\Log file2.log"

Table 1. Silent installation parameters
Parameter	Description
INSTALLDIR	The installation directory.
SPOTFIRE_WINDOWS_SERVICE	The available options are Create and DoNotCreate.
SERVER_FRONTEND_PORT	Used for communication with Spotfire clients. The default is 80.
SERVER_BACKEND_REGISTRATION_PORT	Used for key exchange to set up trusted communication between the Spotfire Server and nodes. The default is 9080.
SERVER_BACKEND_COMMUNICATION_PORT	Used for encrypted traffic between nodes. The default is 9443.
NODEMANAGER_HOST_NAMES	A comma-separated list of IP addresses, hostnames, and FQDN names that can be used by back-end trust. These should be for the interfaces on the computer where the node manager is installed. Note: Valid hostnames can only contain alphabetic characters, numeric characters, hyphens and periods. Note: If you do not enter any values, the installer automatically provides values. After installation, confirm that these are correct in the following file: <node manager installation dir>\nm\config\nodemanager.properties.

Run the installation script.
