Product Release Letter
Prerequisite for this release - products: None
Note: Shared Services 3.3 should be used with the above Engineering and Administration products
only. It should not be used with another product. Other products should be installed
according to the appropriate installation process.
Note: Only the AVEVA Notification Service is required for Engineering and should be selected. If
installing both Services it is best to make sure that the AVEVA Scheduler Service is not
started. To do this open the Services form from the Control Panel once installed. Open the
Properties window by either double clicking on the service or using the right-hand mouse
button:
Ensure that the Service is stopped and the Startup type is Manual
Supersedes:
This release supersedes the previous full release 52262 AVEVA Shared Services 3.2 for Engineering
Notifications only.
Silent Installation
It is possible to run the Shared Services installation from setup.exe (which will assume
Administrator privilege), or from the Command Prompt with Administrator privileges by running
the commands in the following sections.
The following sections are examples of different silent install depending on user requirements, the
users installer location path maybe different to that of the example and the log file path can be
changed. If the user runs the silent install without Administrator privileges the install will fail
without an obvious reason.
The user can run the installation without the log file, but if the install fails it will be difficult to
determine what went wrong.
The default setting assumes that the Global Server and Global Services are running on the local
server.
When installing with silent install the user will not be prompted for any input. The installer will
automatically go through the installation options as follows:
Depending on privileges the User Access Control may ask the user to confirm to run the
installation. Click Yes. The installation will then run.
Once the installation has completed the installer window will close.
If installing without the -qb silent installation flag or from setup.exe, the user will need to do the
following installation process accordingly:
If the autostart feature on the PC is working correctly, the browser will automatically load the
correct file on the disc and display the Installation menu.
Note: The exact appearance of installation window and screens may be different depending on
which browser is being using. The windows used in this manual are from Microsoft Internet
Explorer 8.
If the browser was not running, or the page failed to load, navigate to the setup.exe file and
double click on it; alternatively, right-click and choose the browser from the Open With option on
the popup menu.
<
To install the software, click Install. A message window is displayed asking the user if they want to
run the software. Click Run.
After a short duration a Welcome to the AVEVA Shared Services Setup Wizard window is displayed.
On this and subsequent screens a Cancel button is displayed. If Cancel is clicked at any stage a
pop-up window will be displayed prompting for confirmation. If Yes is clicked partially installed
files are removed and the installation process is stopped. If No is clicked the installation will
continue.
The user must read the End-User License Agreement and then select the I accept check box to
activate Next.
Note: If the user does not select the check box, Next will not activate and the installation cannot
continue.
Click Browse to change the installation location if the user wants the product to be installed to a
different directory or leave at default location and click Next.
Once the files have been copied a final window is displayed confirming that the install process is
complete.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before installing AVEVA Shared Services 3.3 please ensure that AVEVA Shared Services 3.2 is
uninstalled.
