Install the Broker component by using the installation
wizard in silent mode.
Decide whether to install only the
Broker component in silent mode or
WebSphere® Message
Broker components and prerequisite
products.
The following list identifies the choices that you have
for installing the Broker component in
silent mode, and the actions that you must take to complete your chosen
task.
- Determine the installation wizard name for your operating
system. See Installation wizard names.
- Locate the installation wizard in the root directory of
the local or remote CD or DVD, or the
network drive.
- If you are installing on HP-Itanium, /usr/sbin/ must
be included in the PATH statement.
- Decide if you want to specify the silent installation options
by using a response file or by using the command line, then start
the installation.
- Using a response file:
When specifying a silent installation,
you can use a response file to define the required responses to the
options provided by the installer.
- You can record a response file of your own by using the following
command:
installer -r response_file_directory
Where installer is
the installation wizard name. Where response_file_directory is
the directory path in which the response file is saved.
- Alternatively, you can use the following example response files.
In
these examples, LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE is specified,
which means that the license has been accepted. The v.r.m.f under USER_INSTALL_DIR= specifies
the full version release of the Broker component, for example 8.0.0.2. By specifying INSTALLER_UI=silent,
the installer will run in silent mode and proceed to use the values
specified in the response file. The flag External_License_Path can
be used to point to the directory containing the license files if
they are not located in the same directory of the installer. Finally,
the flag INSTALL_dotNET_FRAMEWORK in the Windows response file, controls
whether the Microsoft .NET framework is installed. By using the example
scripts, you are accepting the terms of the license agreement.

installer -f response_file_name
Where
installer is
the installation wizard name. Where
