There you can find # information about the commands and attributes used in # silent installation response files. # # Installation Manager Information Center can be found at: # http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r4/index.jsp # # Question 1. How do I record a response file using Installation Manager? # Answer 1. Start Installation Manager from the command line under the # eclipse subdirectory with the record parameter and it will generate a # response file containing actions it performed, repositories it used, and # its preferences settings. Optionally use the -skipInstall parameter if # you do not want the product to be installed to the machine. Specify a # new agentDataLocation location value when doing a new installation. Do # not use an existing agentDataLocation for an installation because it might # damage the installation data and prevent you from modifying, updating, # rolling back, or uninstalling the installed packages. # # Windows: IBMIM -record <responseFile> -skipInstall <agentDataLocation> # Linux or UNIX: ./IBMIM -record <responseFile> -skipInstall <agentDataLocation> # # For example: # Windows = IBMIM.exe -record c:\temp\responsefiles\WASv8.install.Win32.xml # -skipInstall c:\temp\skipInstall\WebSphere_Temp_Registry # Linux or UNIX = ./IBMIM -record /home/user/responsefiles/WASv8.install.RHEL64.xml # -skipInstall c:\temp\skipInstall\WebSphere_Temp_Registry # # Question 2. How do I run Installation Manager silently using response file? # Answer 2. Create a silent installation response file and run the following command # from the eclipse\tools subdirectory in the directory where you installed # Installation Manager: # # Windows = imcl.exe -acceptLicense -showProgress # input <response_file_path_and_name> -log <log_file_path_and_name> # Linux, UNIX, IBM i and z/OS = ./imcl -acceptLicense -showProgress # input <response_file_path_and_name> -log <log_file_path_and_name> # # For example: # Windows = imcl.exe -acceptLicense -showProgress # input c:\temp\responsefile\WASv8.install.Win32.xml # Linux, UNIX, IBM i and z/OS = ./imcl -acceptLicense -showProgress # input /home/user/responsefile/WASv8.install.RHEL64.xml # # The -acceptLicense command must be included to indicate acceptance of all # license agreements of all offerings being installed, updated or modified. # The -showProgress command shows progress when running in silent mode. # Additional commands can be displayed by requesting help: IBMIM -help # # Question 3. How do I store and pass credentials to repositories that # require authentication? # Answer 3. Installation Manager uses a key ring file to store encrypted # credentials for authenticating with repositories. Follow this two-step # process for creating and using a key ring file with Installation Manager. # # First, create a key ring file with your credentials by starting # Installation Manager from the command line under eclipse subdirectory # with the keyring parameter. # Use the optional password parameter to password protect your file. # # Windows = IBMIM.exe -keyring <path and file name> -password <password> # Linux, UNIX, IBM i and z/OS = ./IBMIM -keyring <path and file name> # -password <password> # # Installation Manager will start in graphical mode. Verify that the # repositories to which you need to authenticate are included in the # preferences, File / Preferences / Repositories. If they are not # listed, then click Add Repositories to add the URL or UNC path. # Installation Manager will prompt for your credentials. If the repository # is already in the list, then any attempt to access the repository location, # such as clicking the Test Connections button, will also prompt for your # credentials. Enter the correct credential and check the Save password # checkbox. The credentials are saved to the key ring file you specified. # # Second, when you start a silent installation, run imcl under eclipse/tools # subdirectory, and provide Installation Manager with the location of the key # ring file and the password if the file is protected. For example: # # Windows = imcl.exe -acceptLicense -showProgress # input <path and file name of response file> # -keyring <path and name of key ring file> -password <password> # Linux, UNIX, IBM i and z/OS = ./imcl -acceptLicense -showProgress # input <path and file name of response file> # -keyring <path and name of key ring file> -password <password> # ####################################################################### --> <!-- ##### Agent Input ############################################## # # The clean and temporary attributes specify the repositories and other # preferences Installation Manager uses and whether those settings # should persist after the installation finishes. # # Valid values for clean: # true = only use the repositories and other preferences that are # specified in the response file. # false = use the repositories and other preferences that are # specified in the response file and Installation Manager. # # Valid values for temporary: # true = repositories and other preferences specified in the # response file do not persist in Installation Manager. # false = repositories and other preferences specified in the # response file persist in Installation Manager. # ####################################################################### --> <agent-input clean='true' temporary='true'> <!-- ##### Repositories ################################################### # Repositories are locations that Installation Manager queries for # installable packages.

If omitted, the default value is set to false. # false = indicates not to modify an existing install by adding # or removing features. # true = indicates to modify an existing install by adding or # removing features. # # The offering ID attribute is required because it specifies the # offering to be installed. The offering listed must be present in # at least one of the repositories listed earlier. The example # command below contains the offering ID for Application Client. # # The version attribute is optional. If a version number is provided, # then the offering will be installed or uninstalled at the version level # specified as long as it is available in the repositories. If the version # attribute is not provided, then the default behavior is to install or # uninstall the latest version available in the repositories. The version # number can be found in the repository.xml file in the repositories. # For example, <offering ... version='8.0.0.20110617_2222'>. # # The profile attribute is required and typically is unique to the # offering. If modifying or updating an existing installation, the # profile attribute must match the profile ID of the targeted installation # of Application Client. # # The features attribute is optional. Offerings always have at least # one feature; a required core feature which is installed regardless # of whether it is explicitly specified. If other feature names # are provided, then only those features will be installed. # Features must be comma delimited without spaces. # # The feature values for Application Client include: # developerkit,embeddablecontainer,samples, # standalonethinclient.resourceadapter.runtime # # In the example that follows, the samples and standalonethinclient.re- # -sourceadapter.runtime features are being added and the embeddablecontainer # and developerkit features are being removed from the specified offering. # # The core.feature cannot be removed because they are required features. # # The installFixes attribute indicates whether fixes available in # repositories are installed with the product. By default, all # available fixes will be installed with the offering. # # Valid values for installFixes: # none = do not install available fixes with the offering. # recommended = installs all available recommended fixes with the offering. # all = installs all available fixes with the offering. # # Installation Manager supports modifying multiple offerings at once. # Additional offerings can be included in the install and uninstall commands, # with each offering requiring its own offering ID, version, profile value, # and feature values. # # Profile Command # # A separate profile command must be included for each offering listed # in the install command. The profile command informs Installation # Manager about offering specific properties or configuration values. # # The installLocation specifies where the offering will be installed. # If the response file is used to modify or update an existing # installation, then ensure the installLocation points to the # location where the offering was installed previously. # # The eclipseLocation data key should use the same directory path to # Application Client as the installationLocation attribute. # # Include data keys for product specific profile properties. # ####################################################################### --> <install modify='true'> <offering id='com.ibm.websphere.APPCLIENT.v80' profile='Application Client for IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.0' features='samples,standalonethinclient.resourceadapter.runtime'/> </install> <uninstall modify='true'> <offering id='com.ibm.websphere.APPCLIENT.v80' profile='Application Client for IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.0' features='embeddablecontainer,developerkit'/> </uninstall> <profile id='Application Client for IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.0' installLocation='C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppClient'> <data key='eclipseLocation' value='C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppClient'/> <data key='user.import.profile' value='false'/> <data key='user.select.64bit.image,com.ibm.websphere.APPCLIENT.v80' value='false'/> <data key='user.appclient.serverHostname' value='localhost'/> <data key='user.appclient.serverPort' value='2809'/> <data key='cic.selector.nl' value='en'/> </profile> <!-- ##### Shared Data Location ########################################### # Uncomment the preference for eclipseCache to set the shared data # location the first time you use Installation Manager to do an # installation. # # Eclipse cache location can be obtained from the installed.xml file found in # Linux/Unix: /var/ibm/InstallationManager # Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\Installation Manager # from the following property: # <property name='cacheLocation' value='C:\Program Files\IBM\IMShared'/> # # Open the installed.xml file in a text editor because the style sheet # might hide this value if opened in a web browser. # For further information on how to edit preferences, refer to the public library at: # http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r4/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.silentinstall12.doc/topics/r_silent_prefs.html # # After the shared data location is set, it cannot be changed # using a response file or the graphical wizard. # # Ensure that the shared data location is a location that can be written # to by all user accounts that are expected to use Installation Manager. # # By default, Installation Manager saves downloaded artifacts to # the shared data location.
