Hi,
We are doing another CPS upgrade this weekend, to CPS 12.3.2, and this time I was going to try deploying the CPS Plugins that we use (Centricity & CMS1500). We currently use SCCM to deploy our CPS Client. I was wondering if anyone has been able to successfully deploy/Push the plugin installations to your thick client PC's, and/or if you know what the parameters are for a silent/unattended installation. I've extracted the setup.exe file from the .cab file, but haven't got the silent install parameters mentioned on the InstallShield Wizard to work yet. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

There is no silent install option. I modified the setup and cab, and removed the questions.
After that I was able to install a background install

I did successfully deploy the Centricity plugins (CentricityRT, Centricity, CMS1500, GenericEstatements) on some recent 12.3.3229.3 installations. This process works so long as you are not "configuring a database" -- that initial process will need to still be done by hand. It involves creating and using an auto-answer (*.ISS file) for older Windows executables. A process which it appears that other parts of Centricity still use during JBOSS' installation.
If anyone is still interested send me a PM and I'll pull together some guidelines and the articles I used to reference this process.
Thanks,
Matt

By the way, are you guys having trouble updating plug-ins from the CPS cloud install location? Whenever I go there I can update since "newer version is available", it takes a really long time then seems to work but there is always an error on one of the files which concerns me a bit. it seems to be Java related:
File Download Error: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
It actually didn't work at all when I did my SP3 upgrade a few weeks ago so I manually copied the older versions of my plug-ins, two of which are a tad out of date (Centricity, CentricityRT).
I would prefer to be able to download them somewhere else then just install them manually. On my test server I think I have the new versions now but I still got that error.

Hi Mike,
From your JBOSS server, if you download the plugin initially (even without installing it) you should be able to find the *.CAB file under the following location:
C:\Program Files\Centricity Practice Solution\jboss\standalone\deployments\(databasename).client.war\install
(databasename) above will be specific to your environment.
From there if you extract the CAB file you'll end up with an EXE/MSI and some supporting files. That's where we started when pulling the files out for automated deployment.
As for the error you're experiencing, I can't speak to that one - I haven't seen that yet.
Hope that helps,
Matt
