Installing fix packs for IBM Integration Designer silently

You can install fix packs for IBM® Integration Designer using the command line.

About this task

You cannot use this procedure to install updates on the underlying IBM DB2 Express or IBM Cognos® BI. You must update these products following their normal update processes.

Procedure

To update IBM Integration Designer silently, complete the following steps:

  1. Read and accept the license terms before updating. Adding -acceptLicense to the command line means that you accept all licenses.
  2. Run the following command:
    Important: On Windows, start your command prompt by right-clicking and selecting Run as administrator.
    • On Windows:
      extract_directory\disk1\IM_win32\tools\imcl install com.ibm.websphere.integration.developer.v85 
          -acceptLicense -installationDirectory location -repositories repository 
          -showVerboseProgress -log logName.log
    • On Linux (deprecated):
      extract_directory/disk1/IM_linux/tools/imcl install com.ibm.websphere.integration.developer.v85 
          -acceptLicense -installationDirectory location -repositories repository 
          -showVerboseProgress -log logName.log
    where:
    • location is the path to the directory where you want to update the products.
    • repository is the path to the repository where you have extracted the fix pack files. For more than one repository, separate the repository locations with commas.
    • logName is the name of the log file to record messages and results.
  3. If you also want to update the test environment, run the same command again with the correct installation directory and the required package IDs:
    • On Windows:
      extract_directory\disk1\IM_win32\tools\imcl install list_of_package_IDs -acceptLicense 
          -installationDirectory test_location -repositories repository -showVerboseProgress 
          -log logName.log
    • On Linux (deprecated):
      extract_directory/disk1/IM_linux/tools/imcl install list_of_package_IDs -acceptLicense 
          -installationDirectory test_location -repositories repository -showVerboseProgress 
          -log logName.log
    where:
    • list_of_package_IDs is a list of the IDs for the products you want to update, separated by spaces.
      Table 1. Package IDs for test environment
      Product Package ID
      IBM BPM Advanced: Process Server com.ibm.bpm.PS.v85
      IBM Business Monitor com.ibm.websphere.MON.v85
      WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85
    • location is the path to the directory where you want to update the products.
    • repository is the path to the repository where you have extracted the fix pack files. For more than one repository, separate the repository locations with commas.
    • logName is the name of the log file to record messages and results.

Results

Installation Manager updates the list of products and writes a log file to the directory that you specified.

Example

The following example updates IBM Integration Designer on Windows.
imcl install com.ibm.websphere.integration.developer.v85 -acceptLicense 
    -installationDirectory C:\IBM\IntegrationDesigner\v8.5 -repositories D:\temp\IID\Fixpack1 
    -showVerboseProgress -log update.log
