You can upgrade IBM® Content Search Services silently
by entering upgrade values into an input response file and running
the installation program from the command line.
Before you begin
Be sure that you have the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed
during your planning activities.
Procedure
To upgrade 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 the css_install_user user.
- Edit the css_silent_install.txt file
to reflect the appropriate responses for your upgrade.
- Save the edited response file to your temporary directory.
- From the temporary directory on your local
disk, run the IBM Content Search Services upgrade
program by running the appropriate command:

- Review the css_install_path/css_install_5.2.1.log file
for installation errors.
Some errors that are noted
in the log files do not require user action. If an error requires
you to correct something (for example, you cannot subsequently index
or search for documents), see the log file for help in determining
the cause.
- After
the installation completes, verify that IBM Content Search Services is installed and running:

How to verify that IBM Content Search Services is installed and running |
AIX, Linux, Linux for System z, Solaris |
See Starting and stopping IBM Content Search Services for the steps
to manually start IBM Content Search Services. |
Windows |
If you installed IBM Content Search Services as a service, check the
Services window in the Windows Control
Panel to see whether the "Windows Services
for the CSS" service started. (By default, the service name is "CSS
Server." However, a different service name might appear depending
on the number of instances and directory locations of IBM Content Search Services that you installed.) If
you installed IBM Content Search Services on Windows, but not as a Windows service, see Starting and stopping IBM Content Search Services for the steps
to manually start IBM Content Search Services.

- For multiple server configurations, repeat this procedure
for every server that you want to install.
Attention: 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.
