Auto-Build Back End Infrastructure Support
The OI Core G-2.0 Series provides a back-end framework for Auto-Build capable OI Servers.
Auto-Build provides engineering efficiency that allows you to read templates and instances in controllers accessed by Auto-Build capable OI Servers. You can replicate these structures in Wonderware Application Server, providing a one-to-one correspondence between the controller and Galaxy objects and tags. The Auto-Build framework is installed as part of the OI Core.

Wonderware Operations Integration - Supervisory Server Manager (G-2.0 Series) supports silent (command line) installation. This features enables non-interactive installation of the OI Core and its prerequisite products.
The prerequisite products that are installed during the silent installation includes:
Silent Installation Syntax:
The basic syntax of the silent installation command consists of the full path to the setup.bat file (typically the DVD drive designation on your local computer), and the command line switch for silent installation/ un-installation.
<DVD>: CD-OIEngine>Setup.bat /<argument>
The usage instructions can be retrieved by the following command line:
<DVD>: CD-OIEngine>Setup.bat /?
The above command line returns the supported operations - install and uninstall. The /install and /uninstall switches completely disable the graphical user interface of Setup.bat. There is no input from or feedback to the end user.
Silent Installation of OI Core
To install the OI Core and the prerequisite products
C: CD-OIEngine>Setup.bat /install
Important: Before initiating the silent installation of OI Core, it is strongly recommended that you stop all the DAServers and OI Servers.
Silent Uninstallation of OI Core
To uninstall the OI Core
C: CD-OIEngine>Setup.bat /uninstall
Note: The silent uninstallation process uninstalls only the OI Core and the dependent components. All the prerequisites and the independent components should be uninstalled manually.

Legacy DAServer and OI Server Coexistence |
In some scenarios, legacy DAServer and pre-OI Core 2.0 Series OI Servers might have connectivity issues when installed with post-OI Core 2.0 OI Servers. Scenario 1: Upgrading to OI Core G-2.0 in an environment with legacy DAServers or pre-OI Core 2.0 Series OI Servers installed is not an issue and requires no additional installation or configuration steps. Scenario 2: Installing a legacy DAServer or pre-Core G-2.0 Series OI Server after installing OI Core G-2.0 can result in connectivity issues. These servers require minor configuration changes.
