You can use Installation Manager to install or remove a
tool in the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.
Before you begin
Make sure that your Installation Manager preferences are
pointing to the appropriate Web-based or local repositories containing
the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.
Important: When
you uninstall the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool, the process
does not unconfigure existing web server plug-ins configurations.
You might want to use the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool to
delete any plug-in configurations that you created using the Web Server
Plug-ins Configuration Tool before you remove the tool.
About this task
Perform this procedure to use the Installation Manager
GUI to install or remove a tool in the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.
Note: Like
other Installation Manager operations, you can also invoke a modification
using one of the following procedures:
Procedure
- Close the WebSphere Customization Toolbox installation
that is being modified.
- Start Installation Manager.
- Click Modify.
- Select the package group to modify.
- Click Next.
Note: If
you are prompted to authenticate, use the IBM ID and password that
you registered with on the program website.
- Expand WebSphere Customization Toolbox.
- Check the appropriate checkbox to install a tool, or clear
the appropriate checkbox to remove a tool if you already have it installed.
- Click Next.
- Review the summary information, and click Modify.
- If the modification is successful, the program displays a message
indicating that installation is successful.
- If the modification is not successful, click View Log
File to troubleshoot the problem.
- Click Finish.
- Click File > Exit to close Installation
Manager.

Windows: Here is a response file that modifies
an existing WebSphere Customization Toolbox installation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<agent-input clean='true' temporary='true'>

</agent-input>
Windows: Here
is an example of using the
imcl command to modify
the tools in an installation:
imcl.exe modify com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v85
-addFeatures zmmt
-removeFeatures zpmt
-repositories http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v85
-installationDirectory C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Toolbox
-keyring C:\keyring_file.keyring -password password
Note: Starting in Installation Manager Version
1.6.2, the
-keyring and
-password options
that have been used to access credentials in a keyring file are deprecated.
When you use Installation Manager Version 1.6.2 and later, use the
-secureStorageFile and
-masterPasswordFile options
to store credentials in a credential storage file.
There is no migration
path from keyring files to storage files because of the differences
in the file structures. You must create a storage file to replace
a keyring file.
For more information on using the -secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile options
to store credentials in a credential storage file, see the Installation Manager Version 1.6 Information Center.
