How to use unattended install to perform following tasks

Nicky Zhu · May 20, 2018

Hi guys, I'm helping one of our customer to use unattended install to standardize their deployment. I'm using Unattended Installation and Installation Manifest.

Although I can use the combination to install HealthConnect and then create namespaces and DBs as they need, there are still several tasks that I did not find the solution yet. As following:

1. Configure mirrors

2. Set the directory to store journals

3. For a given Ensemble name space, configure the period length in purging messages.

4. Set up some scheduled tasks to PurgeErrorsAndLogs or PurgeAudit

I wonder whether it is possible to use Unattended Installation or Installation Manifest or other approach to perform these tasks. Any suggestion or resource would be appreciated, thanks a lot!

Installer manifest can call arbitrary code.

Mirrors can be managed via ^MIRROR utility.
Can be manipulated via Config.Journal class.
You can configure automatic purging task and set a number of days to keep there. Docs.
Tasks can be created and modified programmatically. Sample. They could also be exported and imported. Community discussion.

This is a great answer, though I'd suggest the SYS.Mirror class instead of ^MIRROR if you're automating things.

Thanks. I've read Config.Mirrors docs, got the memo that it shouldn't be used to edit, and only recalled ^MIRROR routine. SYS.Mirror and %SYSTEM.Mirror would be way better.

Thanks guys. I've finished the tasks except for mirroring.

When I use SYS.Mirror to create mirror set：

%SYS>set tSC = ##class(SYS.Mirror).CreateNewMirrorSet("TestSet",sysName,,)

It failed because:

SYS>zw tSC
tSC="0 "_$lb($lb(2066,,,,,,,,,$lb(,"%SYS",$lb("e^zCreateNewMirror+9^SYS.MirrorConfiguration.1^1","e^zCreateNewMirrorSet+48^SYS.Mirror.1^1","e^^^0"))))/* ERROR #2066: Mirroring Service is required but not enabled */

Then the question is how may I enable %Service_Mirror programtically

Thanks again

You can use Security.Services class, it can modify services programmaticaly.
