Performing a text-based interactive installation

This text-based, command-line installation can be performed without a browser and Launchpad. You can install the software by using the IBM Installation Manager. If you have not yet downloaded IBM® Installation Manager, the installation will check for this and automatically offer to download Installation Manager for you.

1. Close all open programs and any command prompt windows.
2. Open a command prompt window. From the folder location to which you unzipped your downloaded product files, or if you are using a DVD, from the folder location that your inserted DVD opens to, enter the following command:
   • For installation in English language: InstallerImage_<OS>/userinstc.exe -c
     Example: InstallerImage_Windows/userinstc.exe -c. Here -c stands for command line.

     For installation in another, supported language: InstallerImage_<OS>/userinstc.exe -c -nl <locale_code>
     Example: InstallerImage_Windows/userinstc.exe -c -nl fr_CA

   • For installation in English language: InstallerImage_<OS>/userinstc -c
     Example: ./InstallerImage_AIX/userinstc -c

     For installation in another, supported language: ./InstallerImage_<OS>/userinstc -c -nl <locale_code>
     Example: ./InstallerImage_AIX/userinstc -c -nl fr_CA

3. Follow the prompt to select Installation and press Enter.
4. Select the packages to install and press Enter.
5. Select the current version for installation and press Enter.
6. Press Enter on the confirmation screen to move to the next screen.
7. Accept the license agreements and press Enter.
8. Choose a location for the Shared Resources directory. The default is IBM\SDPShared. To choose a different directory, type M and press Enter. Type the path and directory name and press Enter.
9. Press Enter on the confirmation screen to move to the next screen.
10. Choose an installation location. The default is the IBM directory. If you select a directory that already exists, an error message is displayed. To choose a different directory, type M and press Enter. Type the path and name of the new directory and press Enter.
11. Press Enter on the confirmation screen to move to the next screen.
12. Type the number associated with the language for which you want to install the IBM Sterling Warehouse Management System language pack translations. Make a selection and press Enter. After you have selected one option, the prompt is displayed again. You can either choose another option (2, 3, or 4) or press Enter to accept the default (N) and continue to the next step.
    Note: By default, the English language is selected.
13. Select the features to install:
    • 1. Product Files - selected by default.
    • 2. Enable Sharded Database Mode - Available for Advanced and Enterprise Licenses only.
    • 3. Enable Upgrade - Sharded upgrades work only on previously sharded environments.
    Make a selection and press Enter. After you have selected one option, the prompt is displayed again. You can either choose another option (2, 3, or 4) or press Enter to accept the default (N) and continue to the next step. After selecting the required languages for installation, type N and press Enter.
14. Select the configuration for IBM Sterling Warehouse Management System 9.4 and press Enter .
15. Select the appropriate deployment type for IBM Sterling Warehouse Management System 9.4.
    1. Production.
    2. Non Production.
16. Enter the path and name for the JDK home directory and press Enter. This pathname should have no spaces.
17. Choose whether to have the installer create a copy of the JDK folders under your installation directory. The default is Yes (create the copy). Press Enter to accept the default and continue. If you do not want a copy of the JDK made, type N and press Enter.
18. If you selected "Enable Sharded Database Mode" earlier, the next prompt asks whether you want to "Enable mixed database vendor support." In 9.4 release, Sterling Warehouse Management System does not support mixed database vendor, type the option number for the database, DB2® or Oracle, and press Enter. Enter the location and name of the JDBC driver file for Oracle or DB2. Type A to add the license file for DB2 (required). After adding the license file and the prompt is displayed again, type D (done).
19. Enter the information for the remaining database fields, depending on whether you chose nonsharded or sharded earlier:
    1. If doing a nonsharded installation, enter information for the following fields:
       • Database user name
       • Database password (note that the password is displayed in clear text)
       • Database catalog name
       • Database host name (or IP address)
       • Database port number
       • Database schema name
         Note: The default schema names are always the same as the user name, except that the schema names are all uppercase. This applies to both nonsharded and sharded scenarios.

       To validate the database connection, type Y (validate the connection), or N (do not attempt to connect). If a message saying the connection failed is displayed, verify the information you entered in all fields and try validating again.

    2. If doing a sharded installation, enter the location and name of the JDBC driver file. Browse to the Jars for Oracle or DB2.

       Type A to add the license file for DB2 (required). After adding the license file and the prompt is displayed again, type D (done) to continue to the next step.

       For each shard type, you can select the option to Reuse existing database shard configuration, which populates with the existing database information, or Create new database shard configuration, which prompts you to enter the following database information for Statistics, Configuration, Master, and Transaction connections.

       Note: For Sterling Warehouse Management System Master and Transaction connections should point to the same database schema.
       • Database user name
       • Database password (note that the password is displayed in clear text)
       • Database catalog name
       • Database host name (or IP address)
       • Database port number
       • Database schema name
         Note: The default schema names are always the same as the user name, except that the schema names are all uppercase. This applies to both nonsharded and sharded scenarios.
       To validate the database connection for each shard, type Y (validate the connection), or N (do not attempt to connect). If a message saying the connection failed is displayed, verify the information you entered in all fields and try validating again. Once all information is entered for a shard, you can choose B (back) if you want to change information, or choose N (next) to continue to the next shard or step.
20. If using DB2, choose whether to enable database multibyte support (Y or N) and press Enter.
21. Enter the ADDITIONAL_ANT_JAVA_TASK_ARGS memory parameter settings for your operating system and press Enter.
22. Enter the ADDITIONAL_ANT_COMPILER_TASK_ARGS memory parameter settings for your operating system and press Enter. Press Enter again to confirm your choices.
23. Type G (Generate an Installation response file) to have an XML file that contains the install prompts and your responses created.
24. When prompted, type the location and name for the file and press Enter. Use "xml" as the file extension.
25. Once a message saying that the file was successfully created is displayed, press Enter. The previous screen is displayed again, with the same options. This time, type I (Install) to start the installation. A progress bar is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
26. When the installation is complete, a status screen is displayed.
27. Continue to post installation tasks and configuration procedures that you must complete before running the IBM Sterling Warehouse Management System software.
