Enhancements in InstallAnywhere 2023 R2

This section lists an enhancement that was included in InstallAnywhere 2023 R2:

New Variable to Generate Log on Specific Condition

In previous releases, InstallAnywhere generated a log file on all conditions during installation and uninstallation.

InstallAnywhere 2023 R2 introduces a new variable named-$IA_CONDITIONAL_LOG$ in the InstallAnywhere variables list to generate a log file on a specified condition during installation or uninstallation. This variable is recommended for use only in the Pre-Install or Pre-Uninstall view on the Sequence page.

The $IA_CONDITIONAL_LOG$ variable can be set to the following values using the Set InstallAnywhere Variable - Single Variable or Set InstallAnywhere Variable - Multiple Variable action in the Pre-Install or Pre-Uninstall view on the Sequence page to generate a log file on a specific condition:

•

SUCCESS

•

WARNING

•

ERROR

•

INCOMPLETE

•

SKIPPED

•

CANCELLED

For instance, setting the $IA_CONDITIONAL_LOG$ variable to SUCCESS generates a log file only on successful installation or uninstallation.

Note:If the variable is set to one particular value in the Pre-Install view on the Sequence page for the installation logs, the same variable value is considered for the uninstallation logs. To change the variable value for the uninstallation logs, use the Pre-Uninstall view on the Sequence page.

Note:This change was tracked in IA-20859.
