Silent installation of TIBCO Spotfire Node Manager ignores given ports and server name attributes and uses default values

Silent installation of TIBCO Spotfire Node Manager ignores given ports and server name attributes and uses default values

When using the correct command syntax mentioned in the documentation, the silent installation may ignore most of the parameters like port and server name and instead uses default values. Default command:

nm-setup.exe INSTALLDIR="<node manager installation dir>" NODEMANAGER_REGISTRATION_PORT=83 NODEMANAGER_COMMUNICATION_PORT=84 SERVER_NAME=SpotfireServerName SERVER_BACKEND_REGISTRATION_PORT=81 SERVER_BACKEND_COMMUNICATION_PORT=82 NODEMANAGER_HOST_NAMES=NodeManagerHostNames NODEMANAGER_HOST=NodeManagerHost -silent -log "C:\Users\user\Log file.log"

Example:

nm-setup.exe INSTALLDIR="C:\tibco\tsnm\" NODEMANAGER_REGISTRATION_PORT=9090 NODEMANAGER_COMMUNICATION_PORT=9493 SERVER_NAME=tss.nc.com SERVER_BACKEND_REGISTRATION_PORT=9080 SERVER_BACKEND_COMMUNICATION_PORT=9443 NODEMANAGER_HOST_NAMES=nm78.nc.com,nm78,10.xx.xx.xx NODEMANAGER_HOST=NodeManagerHost -silent -log "C:\Users\user\Log file.log"

The installation parameters in the registry at \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TIBCO\TIBCO Spotfire Nodemanager 10.0 also has default values set. This will happen if the user running the script has insufficient privileges. You can see an access error "Error 1606. Could not access network location "C:\tibco\tsnm"." from the log file generated at C:\Users\user\Log file.log:

To resolve, grant "Full control" to the installation directory ("C:\tibco\" in the example above) for the user running the script or to the "Everyone" group, and then rerun the command. Doc: Installing a node manager (silently on windows)
