Configuring the varfile - Data360_Analyze

Before performing a silent installation, you must first configure a response.varfile with the settings that you want to apply to your user's machines. You can use a response.varfile from an existing installation, as follows:

Locate the response.varfile in the .install4j folder of the existing installation directory. For example:
C:\Program Files\Data360 Analyze\.install4j\response.varfile
Make a copy of this file and save it in the location where you want to run the silent installation.
Edit the parameter values as required. The following table gives examples of how to configure the parameters for both the Local User and All Users installation options. The Local User option installs the application for use by a single user of the target computer. In the following Local User installation examples, <<user>> should be replaced with the username of the user who will use Data360 Analyze. The All Users option enables all users who log onto the target computer to use Data360 Analyze.

Note: Upgrading from all versions lower than Data360 Analyze 3.2.1 may result in an install4j error. This produces an install4jError* file, but does not fail the silent upgrade. This is fixed from Data360 Analyze 3.2.2 onwards.

Common varfile variables

You can configure the varfile variables according to your installation needs. The examples in the table below show the Data360 Analyze default values.

Tip: For parameters that end with $<data type>, the parameter value must be in the specified data type. For example, $Boolean indicates that you must enter a Boolean value, i.e. add =true or =false at the end of the parameter string. If a data type is not specified, a string value is required.

For example, for the Local User installation option: `laeWebKeyStorePath=C\:/Users/<<user>>/AppData/Local/Data360 Analyze/site/data` where `<<user>>` is replaced with the username. Or for the All Users installation option: `laeWebKeyStorePath=C\:/ProgramData/Data360 Analyze/site/data`
`localUserDataInstallDir`	Sets the location of the Data360 Analyze data directory. For example, for the Local User installation option: `localUserDataInstallDir=C\:\\Users\\<<user>>\\AppData\\Local` where `<<user>>` is replaced with the username. Or for the All Users installation option: `localUserDataInstallDir=C\:\\ProgramData` Tip: The data directory is where backup files and temp files are stored.
`localUserInstall$Boolean`	For the Local User installation option, set this parameter to `true`: `localUserInstall$Boolean=true` For the All Users installation option, set this parameter to `false`: `localUserInstall$Boolean=false`
`restoreFromBackUp$Boolean`	To restore to a backup file, set this parameter to `true`. If you are performing a backup, you also need the to specify where the backup file is located in the `backupFile` property. Or, to perform a fresh installation, set this parameter to `false`: For example: `restoreFromBackUp$Boolean=false` Note: The backup / restore facility can only be used to restore your system to a previously known state on the same version. For example, if you are installing Data360 Analyze 3.4.3, you can only restore to a backup file that was created on a 3.4.3 installation.
`backupFile`	Specifies the location of the backup file, for example: `backupFile=C\:\\temp\\backups\\backup-2018_11_02__100359_323_Desktop.lxp`

`startData360 AnalyzeOnLogon$Boolean`	Specifies whether to start Data360 Analyze on logon. For example: `startData360 AnalyzeOnLogon$Boolean=true` Tip: It is recommended that you set this parameter to `true` if your users will be using the Automation Services (scheduling) feature.
`storeExecutionLogs$Boolean`	Specifies whether to retain temporary execution data. For example: `storeExecutionLogs$Boolean=true`
`executionLogsLocation`	Specifies the location to save temporary execution data when `storeExecutionLogs$Boolean` is set to `true` For example: `executionLogsLocation=C\:\\Users\\<<user>>\\Documents`
`sys.adminRights$Boolean`	Indicates whether Administrator rights are required. For example: `sys.adminRights$Boolean=true` Note: It is recommended that you always set this parameter to `true`.
`sys.installationDir`	Specifies the Data360 Analyze installation directory. For example, the following will install Data360 Analyze into the C:\ProgramFiles directory: `sys.installationDir=C\:\\Program Files\\Data360 Analyze` Note: The `laeWebAppHome` and `laeHome` parameter values should match the value set on this parameter.
`sys.languageId`	Sets the language for Data360 Analyze. Currently only English is supported. For example: `sys.languageId=en`
