SIS 2.5.4 :: SIS Administration Guide :: Creating a SIS Instance

Below are instructions for creating a SIS instance.

Afterwards, you can provision macros, triggers, compositions, and subscriptions for it — see SIS Management in the SIS Overview and Concepts guide.

Running an -instance tool

You create a SIS instance by running one of the sis/2.5.4.x/admin/create-sis-<protocol>-instance tools (or create-sis-<protocol>-instance.bat on Windows). There is one tool for each protocol that the SIS supports (SIP or IN). When you execute the tool, it:

asks for configuration parameters
creates the profile tables and profiles it needs
creates the configured SIS instance
prompts you to activate it.

Command-line options

The SIS instance-creation tools accept the following (mutually exclusive) command-line options:

Option Description

Option	Description
-h	Displays command-line usage help.
-r	Runs the tool using the settings from a previous run (stored in the `etc/last-<protocol>-instance.properties` file after the user confirms them).
-u <filename>	Runs the tool using the settings from the specified file (a simple text file containing property variable assignments — see the `etc/last-<protocol>-instance.properties` file created by the tool after the first successful run for an example of its content).
-y	Runs the tool in non-interactive mode, automatically accepting all settings. This option must be used with either `-r` or `-u <filename>` to provide values for properties that have no default.

-h

Displays command-line usage help.

-r

Runs the tool using the settings from a previous run (stored in the etc/last-<protocol>-instance.properties file after the user confirms them).

-u <filename>

Runs the tool using the settings from the specified file (a simple text file containing property variable assignments — see the etc/last-<protocol>-instance.properties file created by the tool after the first successful run for an example of its content).

-y

Runs the tool in non-interactive mode, automatically accepting all settings. This option must be used with either -r or -u <filename> to provide values for properties that have no default.
