    Offline Activation and Server veryquiet Install mode

      Hi all,

       

      I was wondering, do you know if it is possible to do offline activation through command-line? If yes, how?

       

      My challenge is when I do a /veryquiet installation, if the server must be activated offline, I would like to generate the .TLQ file from command line. Is that possible?

       

      Also, anyone attempted to build a script to run a complete working silent installation? I saw the thread there: Tableau server silent installation

       

      I am trying it, seems to work well (at least for now), unless I'm offline. Of course, activating a license fails. But I would like to know if anyone has already a working script?

       

      Currently, I do the following (simplified for readability):

       

      set trusted hosts variable (we use trusted authentication)

      set install dir

      install my-oem.exe /dir="install dir" /veryquiet

      stop server

      restore backup (we have a default admin user we want to use in initial configuration)

      customization (logo, name, etc)

      set trusted hosts

      tabinstallck -activate mykey <-- How can I handle this if this fails?

      configure

      start

       

      Thanks!

       

      Michel

          No idea but I do like the idea of a silent install.  Would be cool for it to run unattended for one (because it takes so long now) and just spit out a status & beep when done e.g. Install completed with the following errors or There were no errors, something like that.

            Interesting enough, I get a "Setup failed" when I run in very silent mode.

             

            When I look at the log, I get the following:

            <script>:3:in `(root)'

             

            But then, when I activate the licenses and import the backup, everything seems to work just fine. Anyone ever saw something like that?
