Issue/Introduction

Silent installation of Spotfire Server fails when upgrading from pre-7.5 to version 7.5 or later

Environment

All supported environments

Resolution

The reason for the failure is that when upgrading from pre-7.5 versions to version 7.5 or later using a silent.properties file, the server.addresses value, which is a mandatory attribute, must be updated. The following section has to be uncommented in the silent.properties file:

From:
#server.addresses=<list of server addresses, separated with comma>
To:
server.addresses=<list of server addresses, separated with comma>
