If you need to install or uninstall the same WebSphere InterChange Server (ICS) configuration multiple times or in multiple locations, you can bypass the Installer GUI and perform a silent installation or uninstallation to save time.
When installing silently, you must make necessary modifications to the template response file of the form settings_WICS_<platform>.txt, where <platform> is AIX, Solaris, HP or Linux. In a silent installation, the responses you normally specify manually when you run Installer are stored in this file, which is then read by an executable that installs the components.
In the settings_WICS_<platform>.txt file, you can define:
The settings_WICS_<platform>.txt and OptionFile.txt are both included on the InterChange Server product CD.
To perform a silent installation, do the following:
AIX |
---|
setupAIX.bin -silent -options settings_WICS_AIX.txt |
Solaris |
---|
setupsolarisSparc.bin -silent -options settings_WICS_Solaris.txt |
HP-UX |
---|
setupHPUX.bin -silent -options settings_WICS_HP.txt |
Linux |
---|
setupLinux.bin -silent -options settings_WICS_Linux.txt |
The silent uninstallation uninstalls all InterChange Server components. To perform a silent uninstallation, issue the following command:
ProductDir/_uninstWICS4.3.0/uninstaller.bin -G removeExistingResponses="yesToAll" -G removeModifiedResponse="yesToAll" -silent
