This section explains how to run the Data Management Console in zero footprint mode and uninstall servers or configurations.
A full DataMigrator Client must first be installed using UNC Network paths on a machine in the user's network, as a prerequisite. This machine will then be used as a remote software "share". The UNC installation and configuration paths used for the remote machine also must be available to the local machines that will be set up to run in zero footprint mode and must continue to be available after the zero footprint DMC is set up.
A DataMigrator Client installation using UNC paths creates an additional command file script in the EDACONF\bin directory called zerofootprint.bat, which is used by local machines to set up a zero footprint DMC. No other installation paths, modes, or products create the zerofootprint.bat file, so if the file is not present, it is likely that an improper license key or non-UNC path was used during installation.
Install the prerequisite DataMigrator Client (as described above) as a first step, if it has not already been done. Be sure to remember to use a UNC path, and note the resulting full UNC path for the EDACONF bin\zerofootprint.bat file so you can use it in the later local machine step.
Once the DataMigrator Client is installed on the "share" machine, there are several choices for running the zerofootprint.bat script, depending on a requirements of a site:
After the zerofootprint.bat file is run, a DOS command window opens and a desktop icon shortcut to the DMC is created. On English-speaking locales, a Shortcut Created/OK pop-up message will also display. (This message times out after a short while, so it is compatible for use with unattended batch files.)
Once the shortcut icon is created, the end user can start the DMC from the shortcut icon (and the zerofootprint.bat file is no longer needed by that user). The DMC will behave like a locally installed instance. Any software updates to the original software installation location will be reflected to end users upon DMC restart (with no need to reinstall).
To uninstall:
If more than one configuration uses the same EDAHOME directory, the additional configurations contain unconfigure icons instead of uninstall icons. If you want to uninstall your initial configuration, you must unconfigure the additional configurations first. If you do not unconfigure these instances before uninstalling the EDAHOME directory, you will disable the additional configurations, including their unconfigure icons. A manual cleanup is then required.

This is also known as a silent install. The most common form is an initial install which also results in an initial configuration (and is what is documented here). An initial installation and configuration should only be done once per EDAHOME (and program folder) and an additional product configuration used thereafter.
Installing silently can be helpful if you want to install multiple instances at once throughout an enterprise. To install an instance silently, you must first create a text file that specifies your installation parameters and then call isetup with the option and the file name. The silent method may also be used to do a software refresh.
We recommend that the first time you install, you use the default interactive mode, not the silent mode, so that you become familiar with the procedure. Installing interactively is described in Installing a Server.
Use a text editor to create a file with the following syntax to specify your product installation parameters:
-inst -license nnn-nnn-nnnn-nn -edahome drive:\ibi\srv77\home -edaconf drive:\ibi\srv77\product_type -port portnum -host hostname -approot drive:\ibi\apps -programfolder "folder-title" -pass password -nostart
where:
Is the 12-digit license. Include a hyphen (-) following the third, sixth, and tenth digits.
Is the drive and directory to which you want to install the software.
Designates the type of product. The default values are:
FFS |
for a Full-Function Server |
DM |
for a DataMigrator Server |
WFS |
for a WebFOCUS Reporting Server |
WFM |
for a Shared Application Server for WebFOCUS Maintain |
Is the base TCP port for the server.
Is the server host name.
Is the name you want to assign to the Windows program folder and service. For example:
-programfolder "WebFOCUS 77 Server"
Is the password of the user ID with which you are installing the server.
To see a list of additional installation, configuration, and refresh options:
setup ?
A Help screen with further parameter file options will display.
The user may continue with the install (interactive) or quit at this point to attempt a silent install/configure.
setup -Lcode -opt drive:\path\srvoptions.txt
where:
Is the code specifying the language of the Web Console user interface. This language will also be used in the status windows displayed by the installation procedure.
The language code is preceded by -L (a hyphen followed by the letter "L").
The language codes are:
|
Chinese (Simplified) |
0x0804 |
|
Chinese (Traditional) |
0x0404 |
|
English |
0x409 |
|
French |
0x040c |
|
German |
0x407 |
|
Italian |
0x0410 |
|
Japanese |
0x411 |
|
Korean |
0x0412 |
|
Portuguese (Brazilian) |
0x0416 |
|
Spanish |
0x040a |
Is the full path and file name of the file specifying your installation options.
For example, to specify English and an options file named serveroptsFFS1.txt, type:
setup -L0x409 -opt C:\temp\serveroptionsFFS1.txt
