Mass deployment

The current state of mass deployment includes silent servicing of current installations and silent Store Commerce deployment. Mass deployment can update to a newer version on any currently installed components from the Commerce architecture. Silent servicing means that it runs the installer silently and no graphical user interface (GUI) is used. Silent servicing is scriptable, which means that commands can be used for all standard self-service installers for Commerce and Store Commerce.

The mass deployment roadmap starts with the silent servicing installation to the CSU and Store Commerce. Then, the next component to deploy is the hardware station. The end goal is the Master Data Management (MDM) integration, which is used for collection association and automatic creation of deployable packages.

All components can be deployed with the following commands:

  • Command that updates the current installation of CSU by using a specific configuration file. – This configuration file might not be in the same location as the executable file for the installer. This command skips the prerequisite check and moves on to the installation steps. You can use this command for development or testing.ConsoleCopy StoreSystemSetup_V72.exe -S -C "C:\Temp\StoreSystemSetup_V72_Houston.xml" -SkipPrerequisiteCheck
  • Command that silently installs or updates the Store Commerce app – It has the standard command structure that is used for silent servicing of components that are currently installed. The structure uses the basic values of InstallerName.exe and the command for silent installation: -S. This command uses the configuration file that is in the same location as the executable file for the installer, if a configuration file exists there. It should not be used if multiple configuration files are available.ConsoleCopy ModernPOSSetup_V73.exe -S
  • Command that silently installs the current installation of the Store Commerce app by using a specific configuration file. – This configuration file might not be in the same location as the executable file for the installer, or multiple configuration files might be available.
