AssetWise CONNECT Edition Asset Lifecycle Information Management includes an automated deployment capability. A PowerShell script is used to install AssetWise CONNECT Edition based on values identified in a settings file.

To setup and invoke an automated deployment, follow these steps:

On the AssetWise CONNECT Edition application server, browse to the [Deployment_directory]\AutomatedDeployment\config\ folder.
Using a text editor, edit values in the settings.xml settings file:
1. In the AppServer section, enter the MachineName value for the server,
2. In the WSG section, ensure that the AppName attribute is assigned, for example,
3. In the Execute section, set the InstallWSG attribute value to "true" to ensure that WSG is installed, for example,
When you are finished, save the settings file and exit the text editor.
Browse to locate the [Deployment_directory]\AutomatedDeployment\ folder.
Run the automated deployment PowerShell script with administrator rights, to install AssetWise CONNECT Edition by doing one of the following:

Open a command prompt from the [Deployment_directory]\AutomatedDeployment\ folder, and then enter Powershell.exe ./automate.ps1, for example,

or
Open PowerShell ISE (64-bit only) as an Administrator, then open the automate.ps1 script, and then right-click the Run icon ( ) or press F5. For example,
