SLA Platform installer properties
A table of the Windows installer properties for the SLA Platform installer.
Warning
Tachyon Setup is the only supported method of installing, upgrading, and patching a Tachyon server.
Installation using standalone msi or msp files is not supported unless advised by 1E, which may be necessary in complex installations, using non-interactive (quiet/silent) command-lines, and may require further post-install configuration steps.
Note
Mandatory properties must be provided when installing using a command-line. The table shows which default values are managed by Tachyon Setup
The installer file is: SLA.Platform.Installer.msi
CATALOG_DATABASE_NAME | CATALOG_DATABASE_SERVER | CATALOG_DATABASE_USEINTEGRATEDSECURITY | COMMON_DATABASE_SERVER | COMMON_DATABASE_USEINTEGRATEDSECURITY | CUSTOMER_USERNAME | IIS_HOST_HEADER | IIS_HTTP_PORT | IIS_HTTPS_PORT | IIS_IP_ADDRESS | IIS_SITE_NAME | IIS_SSL_CERTIFICATE_SERIAL | IIS_SSL_CERTIFICATE_STORE_NAME | IIS_SSL_CERTIFICATE_STORE_LOCATION | IIS_SSL_CERTIFICATE_THUMBPRINT | INSTALLFOLDER | INTEGRATE_REST_PORT | LOG_FOLDER | SLA_ENABLE_HTTPS | SLA_PLATFORM_FQDN | SVC_USEACCOUNT | SVC_USEACCOUNT_PASSWORD | SVC_USEACCOUNT_USERNAME | TARGETDIR
Property | Default | Mandatory | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
CATALOG_DATABASE_NAME | 1ECatalog | No | The name of the 1E Catalog database. |
CATALOG_DATABASE_SERVER | Yes | The SQL Server instance name which hosts the 1E Catalog database. NoteTachyon Setup prompts for the SQL Server database instance. | |
CATALOG_DATABASE_USEINTEGRATEDSECURITY | 1 | No | Determines which method the SLA Platform services and application pools will acess the 1E Catalog database
The SLA Platform uses a Linked Server on the SQL Server instance that hosts the SLA Platform databases, to access the 1E Catalog database. The SLA Platform also connects to the Catalog API, which it finds by reading the CatalogSettings table in the 1E Catalog database. NoteTachyon Setup uses 1: Windows authentication. |
COMMON_DATABASE_SERVER | Yes | The SQL Server instance name which will host the four SLA Platform databases. WarningDo not specify (local) even if the SQL Server instance is local. This avoids issues with Linked servers used by SLA Platform and companion products. NoteDROPOLDDB is not supported. If you want to create new databases then manually drop the old ones first, after backing them up. NoteTachyon Setup prompts for the name of the SQL Server instance. | |
COMMON_DATABASE_USEINTEGRATEDSECURITY | 1 | No | Determines which method the SLA Platform services and application pools will acess the SLA Platform databases
NoteTachyon Setup uses 1: Windows authentication. |
CUSTOMER_USERNAME | The installer account | No | The default web user.
WarningThe Domain part of the username will restrict access to SLA Platform to just users from that domain. See Server installation account NoteTachyon Setup uses the default: the installer account. |
IIS_HOST_HEADER | Host header used for the HTTP binding of the SLA Platform website. NoteSee HTTP binding note below. NoteTachyon Setup uses the same HTTP host header as the Tachyon website, which defaults to the servername FQDN. | ||
IIS_HTTP_PORT | 8080 | No | Port used for the HTTP binding of the SLA Platform Website. NoteSee HTTP binding note below. NoteTachyon Setup uses the same HTTP port as the Tachyon website, which defaults to 80. This causes the SLA Platform web applications to be installed under the Tachyon website. |
IIS_HTTPS_PORT | 8443 | No | Port used for the HTTPS binding of the SLA Platform website. Used only if SLA_ENABLE_HTTPS=1. NoteSee HTTPS binding note below. NoteTachyon Setup uses the same HTTPS port as the Tachyon website, which defaults to 443. This causes the SLA Platform web applications to be installed under the Tachyon website. |
IIS_IP_ADDRESS | * | No | IP address used for the HTTP binding of the SLA Platform website. If you want to be non-specific about the IP address, use the default NoteSee HTTP binding note below. NoteTachyon Setup uses the same HTTP IP Address binding as the HTTP binding IP Address of the Tachyon website, which defaults to * (all). This causes the SLA Platform web applications to be installed under the Tachyon website. |
IIS_SITE_NAME | SLA Platform Web Site | No | Website name. Not configurable in the installer UI. NoteTachyon Setup does not use this as it expects the SLA Platform will be installed under the Tachyon website. |
IIS_SSL_CERTIFICATE_SERIAL | Yes, if HTTPS is enabled | The serial number of the specified SSL certificate. Used only if SLA_ENABLE_HTTPS=1. NoteSee HTTPS binding note below. NoteTachyon Setup uses the same web server certificate as the Tachyon website. | |
IIS_SSL_CERTIFICATE_STORE_NAME | My | No | The certificate store in which to search for the specified SSL certificate. My is the Personal store. Used only if SLA_ENABLE_HTTPS=1. NoteTachyon Setup uses the default: My. |
IIS_SSL_CERTIFICATE_STORE_LOCATION | LocalMachine | No | The account type for the specified certificate store. LocalMachine is the Computer account. Used only if SLA_ENABLE_HTTPS=1. NoteTachyon Setup uses the default: LocalMachine. |
IIS_SSL_CERTIFICATE_THUMBPRINT | Yes, if HTTPS is enabled | The thumbprint of the specified SSL certificate. Used only if SLA_ENABLE_HTTPS=1. NoteSee HTTPS binding note below. NoteTachyon Setup uses the same web server certificate as the Tachyon website. | |
INSTALLFOLDER | C:\Program Files\1E\SLAPlatform\ | No | The installation directory in the Custom Setup screen. NoteIf you change the install location please ensure the service account has the necessary NTFS security permissions, as described in Services and NTFS Security. NoteTachyon Setup uses the same parent folder as the Tachyon installation. WarningThe SLA Platform installer does not support INSTALLDIR. |
INTEGRATE_REST_PORT | 6002 | No | Port used by SLA Integrate services. The Integrate Manager listens on this port for the Integrate Agent. NoteTachyon Setup uses the default 6002. |
LOG_FOLDER | C:\ProgramData | No | The folder where the SLA Platform log files are found, as well as other resource files, including inventory product packs.
An additional logs folder is found in C:\ProgramData\1E\Platform Consumer NoteIf you change the logs folder location please ensure the service account has the necessary NTFS security permissions, as described in Services and NTFS Security WarningThe SLA Platform installer does not support LOGPATH NoteNot used by Tachyon Setup. |

HTTPS binding
When doing a non-interactive install, an HTTPS binding is created only if all of the following are specified:
SLA_ENABLE_HTTPS=1
IIS_SSL_CERTIFICATE_SERIAL
IIS_SSL_CERTIFICATE_THUMBPRINT
