Installing silently using a response file
You can install IBM® Business Process Manager Advanced silently by creating a response file and then running a command to use that response file to install the product.
Before you begin
- IBM Installation Manager. If you are installing IBM Business Process Manager in group mode, you must use an instance of IBM Installation Manager that is installed in group mode. For more information, see the Installation Manager information center topic Administrator, nonadministrator, and group mode.
- WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment, including the ejbdeploy and thinclient features.
About this task
By using response files, you can simplify the silent installation and reduce errors in the process because you set up your installation options once in a saved, sharable file that can be used on one or more machines. The installation software provides sample response files for each supported operating system. You can use an unmodified sample response file to perform a silent installation using default settings, or you can modify the response file to set particular values. The comments in the sample response files provide detailed instructions and information about setting the values.
- Installation Manager is installed or updated to the appropriate level.
- The required base products and IBM Business Process Manager Advanced are installed.
Only one IBM Installation Manager is required to install multiple instances of IBM Business Process Manager.
Procedure
Results
Installation Manager installs the required prerequisites and IBM Business Process Manager Advanced, and writes a log file to the directory that you specified.
