Parameters

/SetupInstall [db_admin_username] [db_admin_password]: Creates or upgrades the OutSystems platform database model using the server.hsconf configuration file. You must supply the credentials needed to create or upgrade the OutSystems platform database.
The admin username and password are not necessary for database providers that don’t require elevated user credentials (Oracle and MySQL).
/UpgradeInstall [admin_password]: Upgrades the OutSystems platform, without validating if the database exists or if the permissions are correct.
The admin password is optional and is only used for integrated authentication purposes where the password isn’t stored in the server configuration file.
/RebuildSession session_db_admin_username session_db_admin_password: Upgrades the session database model. The admin username and password must have permissions to execute these operations.
/SCInstall: Forces the Service Center installation to run after finishing Configuration Tool.
/GenerateTemplates: Generates server configuration file (.hsconf) templates for each supported database engine in Platform Server\docs.
/ClearInternalNetwork: Introduced in OutSystems 10. Resets the internal network settings so that internal applications become accessible from any origin.
/UploadLicense license_file: Uploads the license file and checks if the license is valid.
/RegenerateSettingsKey: Generates a new private.key file.
/GetSerial: Prints the serial number of this installation.
/SetPlatformServerAdminPassword platform_server_admin_password: Defines the password for the Platform Server Admin user, if the user is active.
Note: This command does not work when using Integrated Authentication.
