Configuring Non-Interactive Installation


In non-interactive mode, the install function runs silently. Installation messages are logged in the audit trail as normal. Any errors which relate to the install process itself, e.g. configuration and set-up errors, are logged in the audit trail under a pseudo-object called vcm$install.

Note: In order for audit messages to be created, you must create a VC/m object called vcm$install/1.0. It does not need to be checked out or given any components.

The install process uses the user name of the current user. If the code is to be run in background, identify the process which will run the code and set up a user account with appropriate access.

Batch Mode


The following call is used to run the install process non-interactively:

do ^%vc490("XFER",installLocn,liveLocn,backupLocn,1,0,1)

This code can be called from a scheduled background job.

Install Daemon


To start the install daemon, run the following in the VC/m namespace or UCI on the VC/live machine:

job ^%vc490("XFER",installLocn,liveLocn,backupLocn,1,0,2)

To stop the install daemon:

do stop^%vc490
