Installing silently using the command line

You can install IBM® Business Process Manager silently using the command line. With this method, you only need to run one command to perform the installation.

1. Optional: Run the following command to generate encrypted passwords using IBM Installation Manager to securely connect to DB2 and the administrative console.

   extract_directory/IM/tools/imutilsc -silent -nosplash encryptString password_to_encrypt

   Note: If you are running on a 64-bit system and do not already have 32-bit Installation Manager installed, then you must run the command from the extract_directory/IM64/tools directory.
2. Read and accept the license terms before installing. Adding -acceptLicense to the command line means that you accept all licenses.
3. Run the following command:

   extract_directory/IM/tools/imcl install list_of_product_IDs -acceptLicense -installationDirectory location -repositories repository -properties key=value,key=value -showVerboseProgress -log logName.log

   Note: If you are running on a 64-bit system and do not already have 32-bit Installation Manager installed, then you must run the commands from the extract_directory/IM64/tools directory.

   where:

   • list_of_product_IDs is a list of the IDs for the products and features that you want to install. You must include the required features. The syntax is productID,feature,feature, with multiple products separated by spaces.

     Table 1. Product IDs

     Product	Product ID	Feature and Description

     WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment	com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85	core.feature: Required. WebSphere Application Server core content. ejbdeploy: Required. Pre-Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 modules. thinclient: Required. Stand-alone thin clients and resource adapters. embeddablecontainer: Embeddable EJB container. samples: Sample applications feature. com.ibm.sdk.6_32bit: 32-bit software development kit (SDK). You must specify either this feature or com.ibm.sdk.6_64bit. com.ibm.sdk.6_64bit: 64-bit SDK This feature can only be selected on a 64-bit system. You must specify either this feature or com.ibm.sdk.6_32bit.
     Installation Manager	com.ibm.cic.agent	agent_core: Installation Manager core content. agent_jre: Installation Manager Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
     DB2 Express for Linux 32-bit	com.ibm.ws.DB2EXP.linuxia32	n/a: DB2 must match the operating system and bitness.
     DB2 Express for Linux 64-bit	com.ibm.ws.DB2EXP.linuxia64	n/a: DB2 must match the operating system and bitness.

   • location is the path to the directory where you want to install the products. If you want to install into an existing supported instance of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, specify its directory.
   • repository is the path to the repository where you have extracted the files, one of the following directories:

     extract_directory/repository/repos_32bit
     extract_directory/repository/repos_64bit

     For more than one repository, separate the repository locations with commas.
   • key=value is a list of the keys and values you want to pass to the installation, separated by commas. Do not put spaces between the commas. Create encrypted passwords using the IBM Installation Manager.
     Note: This table is applicable only when you install DB2 Express.

     Table 2. Keys

     Key	Description
     user.db2.port	Port for the DB2 database. The default value is 50000.
     user.db2.instance.username	DB2 instance user name.
     user.db2.instance.password	Encrypted password for the DB2 instance user name.
     user.db2.fenced.newuser	The value true is for a new user. The value false is for an existing user. If the value is false, then the user.db2.fenced.password is not needed.
     user.db2.fenced.username	Fenced user name.
     user.db2.fenced.password	Encrypted password for the fenced user name.
     user.db2.das.newuser	The value true is for a new user. The value false is for an existing user. If the value is false, then the user.db2.das.password is not needed.

   • logName is the name of the log file to record messages and results.
   Running this command installs the product with the default features. If you want to install specific features or make other changes, see the reference link for the command-line arguments for imcl.
