The responsefile.pcaw.esb.standAloneProfile.txt file is a sample response file for creating a stand-alone server profile during the silent installation of WebSphere ESB.
Create a stand-alone server profile with an options response file after logging on as root on a Linux® or UNIX® platform, or a user that belongs to the administrator group on a Windows® platform. Some steps of the installation procedure on a Windows platform require the user to belong to the administrator group and to have the advanced user rights Act as part of the operating system and Log on as a service.
The installation program reads this file to determine the characteristics of a deployment manager profile when you install silently. You can also create additional deployment manager profiles by using this response file after initial installation. The response file is shipped with default values.
A problem occurs when the -silent option exists in the file. The file works with the option during a direct call to the profile creation wizard, but fails when called from a silent product installation. See Customizing the options response file for information about creating a profile silently during a silent product installation.
The option is unnecessary. Avoid using the option to avoid problems.
The example options response files are in two locations.
Location:
Product disc location | Installed location |
---|---|
/ESB directory | install_root/bin/ProfileCreator directory |
Use the file on the product disc to install WebSphere ESB silently and create a profile.
After installing WebSphere ESB, you can use the installed response file with the -options parameter on the Profile creation wizard command.
The sample options response file, responsefile.esb.txt, controls the first part of the installation and can also start the second part of the installation. To create a profile as part of installing the core product files, use the option in the responsefile.esb.txt file that identifies the response file for creating a profile. The profile response file lets you use the Profile creation wizard silently.
To create a: | Copy the following response file: |
---|---|
Deployment manager profile | responsefile.pcaw.esb.dmgrProfile.txt |
Custom profile | responsefile.pcaw.esb.managedProfile.txt |
Application server profile | responsefile.pcaw.esb.standAloneProfile.txt |
-W pcawresponsefilelocationqueryactionInstallWizardBean.fileLocation= "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/MyOptionFiles/customProfile.txt"
install -options "myresponsefile.txt" -silent
When the core product files exist, create a profile at any time using the Profile creation wizard. Start the wizard from the First steps console or directly using the Profile creation wizard command.
To create a profile for a: | Copy the following response file: |
---|---|
Deployment manager | responsefile.pcaw.esb.dmgrProfile.txt |
Managed node | responsefile.pcaw.esb.managedProfile.txt |
Stand-alone application server | responsefile.pcaw.esb.standAloneProfile.txt |
For example, copy the file as my_options_file.txt
