We have a client that has approx 10 CPS sites, 2 Jboss Servers, and 7 terminal servers. For each CPS site we use 4 plug-ins Centricity, Centricity RT, CMS 1500, and ExpressBill. Any time we do a service pack update we reinstall the plug-ins for every site. The way we were told by GE is that for each site on each server we have to completely uninstall the plug-ins from programs and features and then re install each plug-in from the Centricity installation page.. So for every server we in total have to uninstall and reinstall 40 times. It is very time consuming does any know a better or faster way to install plug-ins?
Thanks.

That is false, don't take everything GE tells you to heart.
if the plug ins have not changed then you can install from the CAB or MSI directly into the computer.
this are the step you normally need to take.
1- Get the cab or msi from the following folder
\\yourjbossserver\C$\Program Files\Centricity Practice Solution\jboss\server\default\deploy\cps.war\install\optional
you will see one folder for each plugins.
2- install in one computer and run the database configuration of the plugins so the plugins can create the stored procedures needed into the database, this only need to be done once per plugin and can be skipped on the rest of the installation.
3- if you don't want the version checking, which mean that even if you install a later version in the workstation you wont get a full stop on cps load telling you that the version on the workstation is different than the version on the server. You can shut down jboss service in control panel and delete all the plugin folders in : \\yourjbossserver\C$\Program Files\Centricity Practice Solution\jboss\server\default\deploy\cps.war\install\optional
4- you can remote on the workstation and install the plugin manually, whoever we modified our MSI and removed all the questions from them so we can run silent install from PDQ deploy.
Our deployment on 120 fat client and 7 Terminal server takes about 2-4 hours and 1 people to install the fat client and terminal server clients with all the customization we have which are a looooottttt..
