Install Test Automation Server for SAP in unattended mode

You can install the Test Automation Server for SAP in one of the following ways:

• Via setup dialog as described in chapter "Install Test Automation Server for SAP via setup dialog".

• In unattended mode. In this case, the setup completes the installation without user interaction.

An unattended installation is necessary in environments that use software for automated and centralized software distribution. These environments need setups that support unattended installation.

Perform unattended installation

To perform an unattended installation, follow the steps below:

1. Unzip the installation package.

2. Go to the destination folder and enter the following command at the command line.

   • For an installation with SSL certificate (HTTPS), enter:

     "Tricentis Test Automation Server for SAP 15.1.0.exe" /s THUMBPRINT="<your certificate thumbprint>" LANDINGPAGE_PORT=443 HOSTNAME="<your host name>" STORENAME="<your certificate store name>" <optional arguments> /qn

   • For an installation without SSL certificate (HTTP), enter:

     "Tricentis Test Automation Server for SAP 15.1.0.exe" /s USE_HTTPS=0 LANDINGPAGE_PORT=80 <optional arguments> /qn

The parameters from the command lines above specify the following actions:

• /s specifies silent mode. Elements that require user interaction aren't displayed.

• USE_HTTPS is enabled by default. To use HTTP instead of HTTPS, enter the following parameter: USE_HTTPS=0.

• THUMBPRINT is mandatory for HTTPS. The installation will fail without a valid certificate thumbprint. It must meet the following requirements:

  • The SSL certificate is valid.

  • The subject alternative name contains at least one valid DNS name.

    Note: you can't use wildcards. The certificate must contain the real DNS name.

  • The extended key usage extension includes the Server Authentication OID 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1. This ensures that the certificate implements Transport Layer Security (TLS) on the internet as described in RFC-5280.

  • The certificate has a private key.

  • The key is exportable. You must enable Mark as exportable in the Windows certificate import dialog when you import the certificate. If you haven't done so, you must renew the certificate.

  • The certificate is only stored in a single certificate store location of the local machine certificate store. That's the certificate store which is local to the machine and global to all its users.

• LANDINGPAGE_PORT is mandatory and specifies the port of the Test Automation Server for SAP Gateway through which all Test Automation Server for SAP services are accessed. The commonly used port is 443 for HTTPS and 80 for HTTP.

• STORENAME is mandatory for HTTPS and specifies the X.509 certificate store name.

• HOSTNAME is mandatory for HTTPS and specifies the DNS name that the certificate contains as subject alternative name.

• Replace <optional arguments> with one or more MSI commands from the list below.

• /qn disables Windows Installer dialogs during the installation.
