Sample response file

A response file is an XML file that contains the data that is required to complete installation operations silently. IBM® Installation Manager uses response files to complete installation operations silently for a license server, license server administrator and reporting tool, and license server administration agent.

Sample response file for installing a license server

You can use the sample response file to install a license server. You must modify the parameter values for your installation environment. You can record a response file by recording preferences and installation actions in the graphical user interface of Installation Manager. Alternatively, you can create a response file manually by using the documented list of response file commands and preferences. You can use one response file to install, update, or uninstall multiple products. For more information about response files, see response file section in the Installation Manager IBM Knowledge Center. For instructions to create a response file, see Creating a response file manually.
