Installing silently using the command line

You can install IBM® Business Process Manager silently using the command line. With this method, you need to run only one command to perform the installation.

1. Run the following command to generate encrypted passwords using Installation Manager to securely connect to DB2 and the administrative console.
   Important: If you are running Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008, start your command prompt by right-clicking and selecting Run as administrator.

   extract_directory/IM64/tools/imutilsc -silent -nosplash encryptString password_to_encrypt

   Note: If you already have 32-bit Installation Manager installed, you can run the command from the extract_directory\IM\tools directory.
2. Read and accept the license terms before installing. Adding -acceptLicense to the command line means that you accept all licenses.
3. Run the following command:
   Important: If you are running Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008, start your command prompt by right-clicking and selecting Run as administrator.

   extract_directory/IM64/tools/imcl install list_of_package_IDs -acceptLicense -installationDirectory location -repositories repository -properties key=value,key=value -showVerboseProgress -log logName.log

   where:

   • list_of_package_IDs is a list of the IDs for the products and features that you want to install. You must include the required features. The syntax is packageID,feature,feature, with multiple products separated by spaces.

     Table 1. Package IDs

     Product	Package ID	Feature and Description
     IBM BPM Express	com.ibm.bpm.EXP.v85	ExpressProcessCenter ExpressProcessServer.NonProduction - Test, staging, or development use ExpressProcessServer.Production - Production use
     WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment	com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85	core.feature: Required. WebSphere Application Server core content. ejbdeploy: Required. Pre-Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 modules. thinclient: Required. Stand-alone thin clients and resource adapters. embeddablecontainer: Embeddable EJB container. samples: Sample applications feature. com.ibm.sdk.6_64bit: 64-bit SDK.
     Installation Manager	com.ibm.cic.agent	agent_core: Installation Manager core content. agent_jre: Installation Manager Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
     IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition 7	com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70	Java™ TE 6 is installed with WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, but if you install Java TE 7, it will be used instead. If you install Java TE 7 but find that you still need to use Java 6, you can switch before you create profiles by using the managesdk command. For more information, see Switching the edition of Java used in IBM BPM.
     IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition 7.1	com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v71	If you want to use Java 7.1, install this option and switch to it by following the instructions in the topic Switching the edition of Java used in IBM BPM.
     DB2 Express for Windows 64-bit	com.ibm.ws.DB2EXP.winia64	DB2 must match the operating system

   • location is the path to the directory where you want to install the products. To install into an existing supported instance of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, specify its directory.
     Tip: Keep the installation path as short as possible. Otherwise, you might run into problems later when the paths of other components, when added to this path, exceed the 255-character path limit.
   • repository is the path to the repository where you have extracted the files:

     extract_directory/repository/repos_64bit

     For more than one repository, separate the repository locations with commas.
   • key=value is a list of the keys and values you want to pass to the installation, separated by commas. Do not put spaces between the commas.Create encrypted passwords using the IBM Installation Manager.
     Note: This table is applicable only when you install DB2 Express.

     Table 2. Keys

     Key	Description
     user.db2.admin.username	User name with authority to access the DB2 database
     user.db2.admin.password	Encrypted password for the user name with authority to access the DB2 database. Choose a password that complies with the password policy of your system (for example, Windows 2008).
     user.db2.port	Port for the DB2 database. The default value is 50000.

   • logName is the name of the log file to record messages and results.
   Running this command installs the product with the default features. To install any specific features or make other changes, see the reference link for the command-line arguments for imcl.
