List of command line parameters

/Help or /H or /?

Displays the usage text.

/log c:\path\my.log

Writes the bundle log to my.log, auxiliary logs to my*.log.

If /log is not specified, the log files are written to %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp.

Whether or not /log is specified, log files are copied to %programdata%\osisoft\setup\log after the installation has completed.

/Repair

Repairs existing installations.

Note: ADDLOCAL and REMOVE parameters are ignored with this argument.

/Uninstall

Uninstalls existing installations.

Note: ADDLOCAL and REMOVE parameters are ignored with this argument.

/Quiet or /Q or /S

Specifies a silent, or quiet installation. When you specify this parameter, there will be no user interaction nor any display shown during the process. This is referred to as a silent installation.

/Passive

A passive installation is intended to be an unattended installation or upgrade that provides visual feedback with a progress bar. Although a files-in-use dialog may be shown, this dialog will be automatically dismissed if a user input in not provided. An advantage of a passive installation over a silent installation is that it allows you to cancel the installation.

ADDLOCAL=[ALL|TYPICAL|feature_name1,feature_name2,…]

For a new installation, this parameter specifies features to be installed. For an upgrade or for modifying an existing installation, this parameter can be used to add individual features and components to the deployment as part of the upgrade process.

• ALL

  This keyword adds all features for the installation.

• TYPICAL

  This keyword adds all individual features and components to the installation, except: PIAFLink, PIAlarm, pipeschd, PIBatch, FD_AFCollectiveManager, and ModuleDatabaseBuilder.

• feature_name

  Name of feature to add to the installation or upgrade. The features correspond to the Individual Features tab in the user interface rather than the Server Roles in the user interface.

REMOVE=feature_name1,featurename_2, ...

For a new installation, the REMOVE parameter can be used in conjunction with ADDLOCAL=ALL or ADDLOCAL=TYPICAL to trim out and remove specific individual features and components from an ALL or TYPICAL installation.

• feature_name

  Name of an individual feature or component to remove from the installation or upgrade. You can specify one or more feature names as a list, separated by commas.

  For an upgrade, the REMOVE parameter has no effect on features that were installed from a previous installation. That is, earlier versions of PI Server must be upgraded before the REMOVE parameter has any effect.

VARIABLENAME=value

Specifies the MSI variable and corresponding value for the installation or upgrade. The keyword value corresponds to the MSI variable values and is case sensitive.

PINFEATURE=feature_name

PINFEATURE prevents the specified features from being upgraded. If an older version of the feature is installed, the specified feature names will not be upgraded.

• feature_name

  Name of an individual feature or component to exclude from an upgrade. You can specify one or more of the following supported feature names, separated by commas:

• PIDataArchive

• FD_AppsServer

• PINotificationsService

• PIAnalysisService

PI_CERTIFICATETHUMBPRINT=thumbprint

PI_CERTIFICATETHUMBPRINT specifies the thumbprint of the certificate to be used for TLS encryption.
