Advanced installation topics
By default, a standard installation service is created for each process application when you first create and save the process application. You can customize this service to support more advanced requirements (for example, calling commands before or during the installation process).
- Building custom installation services
An installation service is created by default when you create a new process application and is used when install a snapshot.You can customize the service to handle advanced requirements in your target environment.
- (Deprecated) Creating a custom installation script for offline process servers
If you want to run commands immediately before a process application is installed on an offline server, customize the customProcessAppPreInstall file. This file is invoked automatically by the installProcessAppPackage command before it begins installing the snapshot.
- (Deprecated) Performing offline installation steps separately
To perform each step of process application installation separately, you can run the following commands individually or add them to a batch file or script. Doing so enables you to perform customization tasks between the installation steps.
