FerPeteSake why do they hide the pkg?
I have been struggling with this myself, and want to share my finding. I could not locate the Avaya IX Workplace.sparkle_interactive.pkg from previous posts.
It turns out the (most important and useful) .pkg file is just a hidden file on the mounted volume that contains the installer.
To show the hidden files, command+shift+. will do it.
Copy those three files Install.app, Uninstall.app, and (in this version) Avaya Workplace.sparkle_interactive.pkg to your temporary folder.
Make a composer pkg for those
I set my policy to install the package that puts the files in place, then I end with a Processes command at the end.
/path/to/your/tmp/AvayaWorkplace/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/install -silentThat way, I am running the full vendor script with its logic that roots out old versions and deals with them, if they exist.
Example of how to build a package using Packages.app
The postinstall script. The script includes optional commands that record details to a log file: CompanyNameInfoTech.log
#!/bin/bash
# Variables used for logging
logFile="/private/var/log/CompanyNameInfoTech.log"
# Logging funtion
log () {
echo $1
echo $(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S: ") $1 >> $logFile
}
log "-----"
log "Begin install Avaya Workspace 3.17.0"
# Determine working directory
install_dir=`dirname $0`
# Change to working directory
/usr/bin/cd $install_dir
# Install the FireEye HX agent
$install_dir/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/install -silent
log "Completed Avaya Workspace install"
exit 0 ## Success
exit 1 ## FailureHere is the PPPC configuration profile that works for us.
Notes:
1. We do not use the video conf feature - so no reason to allow camera.
2. I believe you can deny microphone, but a configuration profile can't "allow" it. It's still up to the user.
3. The access to contacts and calendar are for the Apple Address Book app and Apple Calendar app. Since we use Outlook, I have set those to deny.
Hi, has anyone gotten this to work with the lastest AvayaWorkplace 3.28.0.73.12? I'm new to packaging and couldn't get this to work. Imported the package into Composer and then did Convert to Source, created the directory path. When the policy runs on the client I can see the folders and files on the mac but it does not execute.
I have tried from the path above as suggested I get an error that the file does not exist. If I remove "-silent" then I get the message, "install exists and is executable" but it does not install the application?
/path/to/your/tmp/AvayaWorkplace/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/install -silent
Can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.
