Installing the Spotfire Server files (silently on Windows)

You can install the Spotfire Server files silently on Windows by running the installer from the command prompt.

About this task

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

Procedure

Open a command prompt as an administrator (or, if you are using Windows Integrated Authentication, as the Spotfire Server database user).

Note: If you use Microsoft SQL Server with Windows Integrated Authentication, see to that this user has permission to write to the installation folder and make sure that Spotfire Server always runs as this Domain User. Confirm with the logs that Spotfire Server starts.

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

“c:\Desktop\SPOT_sfire_server_version_win\setup-win64.exe" INSTALLDIR="C:\<MySpotfireServer>" SPOTFIRE_WINDOWS_SERVICE=Create SERVER_FRONTEND_PORT=80 SERVER_BACKEND_REGISTRATION_PORT=9080 SERVER_BACKEND_COMMUNICATION_PORT=9443 NODEMANAGER_HOST_NAMES=localhost -silent -log "C:\Users\user\Log file2.log"

See details about the installation parameters on Installation of Spotfire Server if needed.

Run the installation script.
