Installing silently
If you install from an electronic image or a repository, you can run Installation Manager in silent mode.
You can then use a batch process to install, update, modify, and uninstall packages through scripts. If you are an administrator, it enables you to customize the installation on the developers' workstations.
- If you are planning to install silently on multiple systems, copy the installation image to a location on a shared drive or server.
- Create the response file.
- Run Installation Manager in silent installation mode.
When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, its user interface is not available. So you use a response file instead to input the commands that are required to install the package. An install.xml sample response file is available in the InstallerImage_win32 subdirectory of the client and in the InstallerImage_system subdirectory (where system is aix, linux_s390, linux_x86, or win32) of the server. You can use it as is or modify it to your own specifications.
For more information on how to work in silent mode, see the Installation Manager documentation.
