Configure Repository in Silent Mode using Command-Line Parameters

A Repository contains workflow definitions, Queues, Calendars, Workflow execution data, and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) data. The User Provider for the repository is also defined while creating a repository.

You can configure a repository using the AVEVAWorkTasksConfigurator Console Application.

1. Open the Command Prompt in the Administrative mode.

2. Enter the path for the "Bin" folder, which is available in the path where the product is installed, and then press Enter.

   For example: CD <AVEVA Work Tasks Install Path>\Bin

3. On the Command Prompt, type AVEVAWorkTasksConfigurator.exe.

4. Pass the values for the following command line arguments:

   • ConfigurationType = REPOSITORY.

     The parameter used to configure a repository.

   • RepositoryDataSource = <The name of the datasource on which the repository has to be created. Ensure that the specified datasource is already configured in the system.>

   • RepositoryName = <The name of the repository.>

   • Description = <The description for the repository.>

     Consider the following sample command.

     AVEVAWorkTasksConfigurator.exe ConfigurationType="REPOSITORY" RepositoryDataSource="TelematicsDataSource" RepositoryName="TelematicsRepo" Description="Telematics Repository"

     Note: Before you copy the sample command to the Command Prompt, it is recommended that you verify this command in a Text Editor.

5. Enter the values for other parameters in the WWSKBPMConfig.xml configuration file. For more information about the parameters in the WWSKBPMConfig.xml configuration file, see Configure in Silent Mode Using XML.

   Note:
   - If you enter the password for the Resource Provider fields in plain text format in the XML, the password will be updated in the XML in an encrypted format, after the repository creation.
   - If you create a repository in silent mode, the administrator for this repository is not configured. You must manually configure the Administrator for this repository and then perform an "iis reset".
   - The maximum number of repositories, which can be created, depends on the permitted limit for the license.

   The progress of the repository configuration is displayed in the WTLogger Console.

   For more information about creating a repository and creating an Administrator for the repository, see Creating a repository.
