Configurator command

The Configurator command format is:

Configurator.exe /silent=true /action=add /feature=<component_list> /response=Configurator_response_file

where

• Configurator.exe is the post-install Configurator executable file. The default path for this file is:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA.

• /action=add is the switch that causes the components to be configured.

• /feature=component_list is the switch that specifies which components are being configured.

• /response=Configurator_response_file is the switch that specifies the file path (if needed) and file name of the response file that specifies the settings for the components being configured.

For example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA\Configurator.exe /silent=true /action=add /feature=MES:WebPortal,MES:MiddlewareProxy /response=C:\response.txt

The command must be run by a user with a Windows Administrator user account.

Silent install configuration behavior

During silent install configuration, if the properties are incorrectly set, the Configurator will auto-adjust the setting to proceed with the installation.

For example, during a new MES Cloud integration installation, if the StagingSchemaConfigurationAction property is set to 'Overwrite', the Configurator changes the setting to 'New' while doing the configuration.

Similarly, if the StagingSchemaConfigurationAction is set to 'OverwriteWithDataMigration', the Configurator changes the setting to 'Overwrite' while doing the configuration if the existing structure cannot be migrated.

The response file settings passed to the Configurator and any auto-correction inside it are all logged as part of 'LogTrace' flag in the Configurator Staging Curation Services component.

Silent configuration on systems where System Platform 2023 R2 SP1 Patch 3 is installed

For systems where System Platform (SP) 2023 R2 SP1 Patch 3 is installed, the following procedure must be completed to perform the silent configuration:

1. Back up the configurator.exe.config file from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA location1.

2. Copy the provided version of the configurator.exe.config file from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA\MESConfigBackup1 to the location noted in step 1.

3. Proceed with the silent configuration.

4. Once configuration is successfully completed, restore the backed up configurator.exe.config file to the location noted in step 1.

1If the Program Files(x86) is installed to a non-default drive, make sure to use the correct drive/path.
