sci command

The sci (Service Creation Install) command installs an application and application resources on the Avaya IR system.

Synopsis

sci [-O | -T | -I] [-t] application_name

Description

The arguments described in the following table are accepted by the sci command.

Argument	Description	Comments
-O	Overwrites resources on the target system with matching names without warning you	Examples of resources affected by this option include: database tables, host definitions, speech pools, and speech recognition grammars
-T	Uses existing resources, where resources with matching names exist on the target system	Operates without warning you
-I	Prompts the user when there are file name conflicts before either overwriting resources or using existing resources	The default if no option is entered as part of the command
-t	Turns off tracing for Trace Variables nodes	—
application_name	The name of the application	—

Note:
You may use either -O, -T, or -I, but no more than one at a time.

Restarting the database DIP

If you are installing database tables as part of the application installation and using the interactive mode ( -I option), the sci tool asks if you want to restart the database data interface process (DIP). In the interactive mode, do the following:

If all of the tables are completely new tables, or if you have not changed the table schema for any of the tables, select No.
If you have changed the table schema on any existing table since the application using it has been run, and tables have been accessed in that application, select Yes.

CAUTION:
If you select Yes to restart the database DIP, any calls fail that attempt to access a database for that application while the database DIP is being restarted. For this reason, if possible plan to restart the database DIP at a time when call volume is low.

Examples

To install an application named acct_bal using the resources that exist on the target system, and to turn off tracing for Trace Variables nodes, enter:

sci -T -t acct_bal

To install an application named acct_bal, overwrite the resources on the target system, and to leave tracing on for Trace Variables nodes, enter:

sci -O acct_bal

Files

During the sci installation process, a file named install.log is produced. The purpose of the install.log file is to provide developers and support personnel with information about the installation and compilation of a IVR Designer application. Although the install.log file displays error messages from Oracle, TAS, and other CONVERSANT or Avaya IR software, it does not provide any explanation about the cause of, or solution for, the error. For information about causes of and solutions for errors, see the error message documentation for your system.
