Devices Client Installer
Installer Command Line Help
Overview
When running the Devices Client Installer (DCI) from the command line you can pass command line options to it. To run the installer from the command line you must change your current directory to the directory where DCI is located. You will then be able to run the available commands as shown.
EXE versus JAR Command Line Options
The EXE file can ONLY be passed the command line [installer-options].
The JAR file can be passed BOTH the command line [installer-options] and the [java-options].
Supported Devices
Whether you are running the Exectuable file OR the Jar file you should specify one of the following [DEVICE-ID]'s. Supported devices along with their device id are found in the following table.
If the [DEVICE-ID] IS NOT specified then the installer display a prompt for device selection. This is especially important in remote installations because if the [DEVICE-ID] IS NOT specified
and the -noprompts option IS passed to the installer then it will throw an error.
Make sure that the entire [DEVICE-ID] is capitalized.

This value specifies which environment to download the JNLP file from. Only useful in testing pre-release code, and should not be used outside of the development environment. Value defaults to PROD if not specified. The available options are DEV, QA, UAT, or PROD. DEV and QA are not accessible outside of Tyler Technologies' DSD network. |
