I've taken the Admin install CPF script and reworked it as a function library and removed the code related to default domains (I don't want default domains in any case).
What's left includes code to set up the pipelines and triggers, as described in the CPF Configuration chapter. *But* It also includes the loading of schemas that are used by the pipelines and I didn't see anything that does that (or mentions it) in the CPF API. So unless I'm missing something (which is quite possible), I still need to do the schema loading. What I've extracted from the Admin code seems like a convenient way to just get CPF in place so that you can then set up your custom domains. It could be optimized for the needs of FlexRep, namely only bothering to even install the change and FlexRep pipelines but seems likely that other servers that will need automatic conversion might use other pipelines and there's no particular harm in having unused pipelines lying about. Note my requirement is simply to have CPF available so that I can then configure FlexRep. The lack of a quick-and-easy way to programmatically install CPF is simply a roadblock to the real configuration I need to do, namely configure FlexRep, which is otherwise easy enough to do (once one has understood how all the FlexRep parts fit together, which was a little harder than it should have been, but I think I've already commented on the FlexRep docs...). So I was really looking for a "call this one function to get CPF installed so you can continue on with your real task of getting FlexRep configured via a script" and I'm not seeing that out of the box. Or said more directly: there's a one-button task in the Admin UI to get CPF installed for a database. There should be a corresponding single-call function to do it programmatically and the FlexRep docs should make reference to that function at the same time they refer to the manual CPF installation process.

These should be executed against your triggers database. If you share a triggers database, you don't need to do it all over again. p:insert to put a pipeline XML into the right collections etc. dom:configuration-create to create the overall configuration object that defines your restart user etc. You need to do this before you create domains or things will go horribly wrong. dom:create to define your domains dom:add-pipeline to attach pipelines if you didn't put them in the domain in dom:create All default pipelines are in the Installer directory. The thing in the admin GUI makes some default assumptions about some of this that aren't always the appropriate thing to do. I'd suggest making a script that creates the domains you want and loads and attaches the appropriate pipelines. //Mary On Mon, 22 Jan 2018 14:09:23 -0800, Eliot Kimber <ekim...@contrext.com> wrote: > I'm putting together a script that will do all the configuration for a > server all the way through defining a FlexRep app server, domains, and > targets.
