This topic describes the response file for installing the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product, so that the root user on a Linux or UNIX-based platform, or a user that belongs to the Administrator group on a Windows platform, can install the product without the installation wizard. Some steps of the silent installation procedure on a Windows platform require the user to belong to the Administrator group and have the advanced user rights Act as part of the operating system and Log on as a service.
Silent installation is an installation method that reads all choices from the options response file, responsefile, which you must tailor before performing a silent installation. This file does not affect the installation wizard in any way.
Location
The sample options response file, responsefile, is on the product CD in the operating-system platform directory.
