setup.response
This topic describes the response file for installing the product
to extend the base WebSphere Application Server product silently.
Install silently as the root user on a Linux or UNIX-based platform, or
as a user that belongs to the administrator group on a Windows platform. Some
steps of the silent installation procedure on a Windows platform require the
administrator group user to have the advanced user rights Act as part of
the operating system and Log on as a service.
Silent installation reads all of the installation choices from an options
response file.
There are two types of installation for the Enterprise
product, so there are two separate options response files.
The setup_nd.response file is
for extending the Network Deployment product. This setup.response file
is for extending the base product. You must customize an options response
file before you can use it to perform a silent installation. An options response
file has nothing to with the Installation wizard and the default values that
appear on the wizard panels.
Location
This sample options response file, setup.response,
is on the product CD in the operating-system platform directory.
Copy the file to a hard disk to customize it.
Usage notes
- This file is not a read-only file.
- Edit this file directly with your flat file editor of choice, such as
WordPad on a Windows platform.
- This file is not updated by any product components.
The file must exist to perform a silent installation
of the Enterprise product on top of an existing installation of the base WebSphere
Application Server product, or to install the Enterprise product and the base
product at the same time in an umbrella installation.
- When installing silently, the installation program does not display a
wizard but instead, reads this file to determine installation option values.
- You can change the -W launchPRTBean.active option to display the Registration
panel for a confirmation of completeness on a local system with a graphical
user interface.
- Review the installation logs in
the install_root/logs directory or in the /tmp directory
(the system %TEMP% directory on a Windows platform) to verify the status of
the installation.
