Shopping Central installer properties

The following table describes the installer properties for the Shopping Central installer.

Switch

Mandatory

Default value

Notes

ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_SERVER

Yes

Name of the AD server. This parameter can also be set to the fully qualified domain name for the server. Information on which Domain Controller you should nominate is here.

ADMINACCOUNT

Yes

The Shopping Admin account. This is either set as Domain\User or Domain\Group.

This account, or members of this group, can view the Shopping Admin pages. Once set it cannot be changed, therefore we recommend using a domain group so that access to the Shopping Admin pages can be determined using AD group membership.

During installation, this account/group is also used for the following which can be changed later in the Shopping Admin Console settings section. Each setting requires that the Admin account or group and its members are email enabled:

  • Admin email setting, Shopping will forward alerts to the Administrator email account set in this parameter

  • Deputy Default setting, which Shopping uses as a deputy approver in the event that an approval times out, and the approver does not have a deputy defined

For further guidance see Active Directory security groups.

This is an old installer property that is no longer supported.

AZURETENANTID

Your Azure Active Directory tenant ID. Use in conjunction with ENABLEINTUNESUPPORT and its associated installer properties.

DATABASE_COMMANDTIMEOUT

The timeout (in seconds) and denotes how long the installer waits for SQL commands to execute before reporting an error. Can be used to facilitate the upgrading of large Shopping databases. The default is 1 hour.

DATABASE_CONNECTIONTIMEOUT

The timeout (in seconds) and denotes how long the installer waits for the SQL connection before reporting an error. Can be used to facilitate the upgrading of large Shopping databases.

DATABASE_MODE

SingleUser

Database usage mode. It may be set to one of the following values:

The default value sets the upgrade scripts to run in single-user mode to avoid multiple connections during upgrade (Only for SQL 2005).

Enabling MultiUser mode, by setting the following property on the installer command-line, may be necessary for larger databases to help to smooth the upgrade process:

DATABASE_MODE="MultiUser"

Note

Please Note: MultiUser and SingleUser are case sensitive

DATABASENAME

Shopping2

Enables the name for the database to be changed from the default. Changing this will create a new database on installation with the value you have chosen.

If set to 1 on the command-line this will drop the current Shopping database on install. If you do not want to drop any existing data, do not include this property on the command-line.
