Installing WebSphere Message Broker Explorer in silent mode

You can install WebSphere® Message Broker Explorer by using the installation wizard in silent mode.

To install silently, you specify the path to a response file as an argument to the installation command. Before you can run the installation wizard in silent mode, you must create a response file that contains the installation options. You can create a response file during an installation by using the graphical installation wizard, or you can use a sample response file that is supplied in the samples-scripts directory in the root directory of the installation media.

Installing WebSphere Message Broker Explorer in silent mode by using a response file

Use the following steps to create the response file and run the installation wizard in silent mode:

  1. Create a response file by using the graphical installation wizard or by manually editing a response file:
    • Create a response file during an installation by using the graphical installation wizard. You must provide a full path for the response file, or the response file is not created by the installation wizard.
      Enter the following commands into a command prompt:
      • On Windows:
        install.exe -r <filepath>
      • On Linux:
        install.bin -r <filepath>
      This command starts the GUI installation as normal, except that it also records all your answers and saves them in the file you specified, for example, c:\temp\mbx-response.properties. You can then use this response file with the silent installer for subsequent installations of WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
    • Alternatively, use the supplied template in the samples-scripts directory in the root directory of the local or remote CD or DVD, or the network drive. Or use the following template to create a response file manually:
      Note: The mbx-response.properties file that is supplied on the Installation media has LICENSE_ACCEPTED=FALSE so you must override this setting on the command line, or copy and update the file to indicate your acceptance of the license.

      # Replay feature output
      # ---------------------
      # This file was built by the Replay feature of InstallAnywhere.
      # It contains variables that were set by Panels, Consoles or Custom Code.
      
      #Has the license been accepted
      #-----------------------------
      LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE
      
      #Choose Install Folder
      #---------------------
      USER_INSTALL_DIR=C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\MBExplorer
  2. To run the installation wizard in silent mode with the response file, run the following command:
    • On Windows:
      install.exe -i silent -f <filename>
    • On Linux:
      install.bin -i silent -f <filename>
    where <filename> is the path to the response file, for example: d:\messagebroker_runtime1\sample-scripts\mbx-response.properties.
You can now use the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer. To use the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer you must start the WebSphere MQ Explorer. To start the WebSphere MQ Explorer, complete one of the following steps:
  • On Windows:

    Click Start > All Programs > IBM WebSphere MQ > WebSphere MQ Explorer, or, on a command line in which the mqsiprofile command has not been run, enter the strmqcfg command.

  • On Linux:

    Open a command shell in which the mqsiprofile command has not been run and enter the strmqcfg command, or run /usr/bin/strmqcfg.

When you have completed installation, see Verifying your WebSphere Message Broker installation.
