Installing silently

You can silently install CICS® Universal Client without going through any of the installer screens. The installation process takes its input from a response file; no user input is required. If you do not provide a response file, all default options are used.

Creating a response file
Use one of the following methods to create a response file:
  • Use the supplied sample file installResponseSamp.txt. Edit this file as appropriate.
  • Create a response file by installing the CICS Universal Client and recording the responses that you enter. Issue the following command:
    installer -options-record full_path_name/response_file_name
    This command stores your responses in file response_file_name. Note that there is no space between -options and -record.
Using the response file to install silently
To install silently, take the following steps:
  1. Make the response file and the install image available to the computer on which the CICS Universal Client is to be installed.
  2. Issue the following command:
    installer -options "full_path_name/response_file_name" -silent -V licenseAccepted=true
Installing silently with no response file
To install silently without using a response file, issue the following command:
installer -silent -V licenseAccepted=true
All options will take default values.
