Project Automation API Code Samples
InstallAnywhere 2024 R2
Note:If you are using a node-locked license of InstallAnywhere, the licensing libraries must be loaded while using the project automation API. This is typically done by configuring an IDE setting or by passing the following parameters through the command line when running the Java 11:
--add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.loader=ALL-UNNAMED -Djava.library.path=IA_HOME\resource\fnp\libraries
If the library path includes spaces, ensure that you enclose the library path within quotes:
-Djava.library.path="IA_HOME\resource\fnp\libraries"
InstallAnywhere includes project automation API code samples that you can use to edit your project files programmatically in Java. These code samples are installed in the following directory:
InstallAnywhere Installation Directory\project-auto\sample\src\com\ia\projauto\samples
A readme.txt file is provided in the project-auto\sample directory that contains the following information:
| • | How to Use—Explains how to run these code samples using classpath settings. |
| • | Sample Code Configuration—Explains how to run these code samples by making use of Ant scripts that compile and run the API code samples by using an automationbuild.properties file. |
