A response file example for a silent installation
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
What does a typical response file for a silent installation of IBM® WebSphere® Application Server V5.0 look like?
 
Resolving the problem
Here is an example of a response file for use with the WebSphere Application Server V5.0 silent installation option. Silent installation accepts the installation options supplied in the response file instead of displaying the User Interface installation screens to gather installation parameters.
For more information on the silent installation, visit the WebSphere Application Server V5.0 Information Center at:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v5r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.wasee.doc/info/ee/ae/tins_runSilent.html
