Add to single machine installation documentation: cinc-solo #299

Closed jesa-esrich closed 1 year ago

jesa-esrich commented 2 years ago

In the arcgis-cookbook wiki for deploying a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment on a single machine, the command prompt for running the cinc client is: cinc-client -z -j arcgis-enterprise-primary.json

It will then create a directory in the user profile: C:\Users\username.cinc\local-mode-cache\cache\cinc-client-running.pid This causes issues, when the user profiles are managed on a share (E.g. when it can't create that directory). The command will then throw an error and stop.

In those cases it is better to use the command: cinc-solo -j C:\cinc\templates\arcgis-enterprise\10.9.1\windows\arcgis-enterprise-primary.json (as it used to be with Chef Client).

The possibility to use the command cinc-solo was not documented in the wiki, nor on cinc webpage.

So please add this information (possibility of using the cinc-solo command) to the single machine installation documentations.

Thanks @jesa-esrich, this is an excellent suggestion! We will look to improving the wiki documentation\readme's to include a note that cinc-solo is also a valid command to use.

@jesa-esrich we have made some improvements to the documentation that both chef-client/cinc-client and chef-solo/cinc-solo can be used.
