The PI SQL DAS setup kit extracts several installation modules. The components of the installation process, their order, and the arguments used to launch the components, are provided in a configuration file named setup.ini.
You can modify setup.ini to provide different command-line arguments for different stages of the setup. This might be useful within a well-controlled environment with options that are known in advance, such as when performing an embedded installation.
For customizing the PI SQL DAS installation, you need to modify the module that references PI_SQL_Data_Access_Server_Integrator_Framework.msi. Optional command-line arguments for PI SQL DAS are listed in the table below.
Individual arguments must not contain spaces unless they are surrounded by quotes.
