You can record your GUI-based installation for future reference.
Before you begin
You must use IBM Installation Manager to perform a recorded
installation. If you have not already done so, download the IBM Installation
Manager now.
If you are upgrading from a previous release, stop
any running instances of the previous installation.
Close all
open programs and any command prompt windows.
Procedure
- To record a silent, GUI-based installation, open a new
command prompt window and issue the following command line.
- Navigate to the \IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse folder.
For installation in the English language, enter IBMIM.exe
-record response.xml -skipInstall <IM_data_dir>...where
response.xml is the silent installation file to be generated and <IM_data_dir> is
a new directory generated for the Installation Manager to write and
store data into.
For example:
IBMIM.exe -record
response.xml -skipInstall C:\SterlingInstallData
For
installation in another, supported language, enter: IBMIM.exe
-record response.xml -skipInstall <IM_data_dir> - nl <locale_code>

IBMIM.exe -record response.xml -skipInstall
C:\SterlingInstallData -nl zh_TW

Manager/eclipse folder.
Enter ./IBMIM -record response.xml
-skipInstall <IM_data_dir>...where <silent_filename>.xml
is the silent installation file to be generated and <IM_data_dir> is
a new directory generated for the Installation Manager to write and
store data into.
For example:
./IBMIM -record
response.xml -skipInstall $HOME/SterlingInstallData
For
installation in another, supported language, enter: ./IBMIM
-record response.xml -skipInstall <IM_data_dir> - nl <locale_code>
