Install Products Using an Installation Script
You can record yourself installing products from Empower or from an installation image and then use the recording, or script, to install products on one or more machines. The script automatically installs all products in the script on each machine. You might use this method if you want to install identical product installations on multiple machines, or if you want to automate product installation.
When you create a script while installing from Empower, the script contains your Empower user name and password and references the latest releases of your products. When you install from the script, the referenced product releases must be available or the script will fail.
When you create a script while installing from an image, the script references the releases of your products that are in the image and contains the location of the image. When you install from the script, the image must be in the same location or the script will fail.
When you create a script, you specify all machine-specific values, such as target installation directory and product port values, and all product-specific values, such as license files and database connection parameters. Because scripts run with no user input, you cannot change these values when you install from the script. If these values are not accurate for all target machines, the script will fail.
You can edit an existing script. You can create a script by editing an existing script and saving it under a new name.
