If you do not have GUI tools in your Unix/Linux system, you need to install Federation Server in silent mode. For silent installation, a response file is needed.
In this paper, a sample of response file will be provided in case that you need to install Federation Server wappers against an existing DB2 copy. You could re-use it after setting your installation location.
Before using this response file, you need to take notice that the version of Federation Server and DB2 copy should be the same. For example, the DB2 copy in your system is v97fp6, you can use this response file to install Federation server v97fp6.
For Federatoin Sever V97:
The sample of response file:
### response file for IBM InfoSphere Federation Server ###
-G licenseAccepted=true
-W installTypeSelectionLinuxx86_64.selectedType="db2"
-P installLocation="/opt/ibm/db2/V9.7"
-P db2.active=false
-P rw.active=true
-P odbc.active=true
-P oracle.active=true
-P sqlserver.active=true
-P sybase.active=true
-P teradata.active=true
-P jdbc.active=true
-P nw.active=true
-P application.active=true
-P scientific.active=true
-P structured.active=true
-W detectWrapperLinuxx86_64.fpVisible=false
-W languagePackLinuxx86_64.selectedLanguages=EN
-W rwconfigureInstanceOptionLinuxx86_64.configure=false
-W nwconfigureInstanceOptionLinuxx86_64.configure=false
### end of response file ###
To use the file, you need:
Step 1: Set the value of keyword 'installLocation' to the location of the DB2 copy according to your environment.
Step 2: The sample is for Linuxx86_64.If your system is not Linuxx86_64, you should change these 5 keywords according to your system type. You can file the correct keywords from image_path/federation/samples/xx.rsp provided in the images.
installTypeSelectionLinuxx86_64.selectedType
detectWrapperLinuxx86_64.fpVisible
languagePackLinuxx86_64.selectedLanguages
rwconfigureInstanceOptionLinuxx86_64.configure
nwconfigureInstanceOptionLinuxx86_64.configure
Step 3: Save the content in a file such as fs.rsp.
Step 4: Lauch silent installation by "iisetup -options 1.rsp -silent". Before that, please make sure the instance and DAS are stoped.
For Federation Server V10:
The sample of response file:
### response file for IBM InfoSphere Federation Server ###
LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE
installType=db2
USER_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/ibm/db2/V10.1
db2Active=false
rwActive=true
nwActive=true
odbcActive=true
jdbcActive=true
oracleActive=true
sybaseActive=true
teradataActive=true
applicationActive=true
sqlserverActive=true
scientificActive=true
structuredActive=true
fixpackActive=false
selectedLanguages=
rw_configure=false
nw_configure=false
installNow=true
### end of response file ###
To use the file, you need:
Step 1: Set the value of keyword 'USER_INSTALL_DIR' to the location of the DB2 copy according to your environment.
Step 2: Save the content in a file such as fs.rsp.
Step 3: Lauch silent installation by "iisetup -f fs.rsp -i silent". Before that, please make sure the instance and DAS are stoped.
