You can install IBM® Content
Search Services silently by entering installation values into an input
response file and running the installation program from a command
line.
Be sure that you have the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed
during your planning activities.
To install IBM Content
Search Services silently:
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
Tip: Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the command is enabled. To view
only Content Search Engine values, filter by CSS Installer in the Installation or Configuration
Program column.
- Log on to the host computer as css_install_user.
- Edit the css_silent_install.txt file
to reflect the appropriate responses for your installation.
- Save the edited response file to your temporary directory.
- Go to the temporary directory on your local disk.
- Run the IBM Content
Search Services installation program by running the appropriate command:

- Review the css_install_path/css_install_5.0.0.log log file for installation errors.
It is a best practice to review log files even if the IBM Content
Search Services installation program
does not generate any errors. Some errors noted in the log files are
benign. If an error is not benign (that is, you cannot then index
or search for documents), see the log file for help in determining
the cause.
- After the installation completes, verify the IBM Content
Search Services service is installed
and has started.
- For multiple server configurations, repeat this procedure
for every server that you want to install.
Important:
You must use a different server name and port
for each additional server. If you use the same server name and port
as a previously installed server, the new server installation overwrites
the existing server.
