Installing silently using the command line
You can install IBM® Business Process Manager silently using the command line. With this method, you need to run only one command to perform the installation.
Before you begin
- IBM Installation Manager. If you are installing IBM Business Process Manager in group mode, you must use an instance of IBM Installation Manager that is installed in group mode. For more information, see the Installation Manager information center topic Administrator, nonadministrator, and group mode.
- WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment, including the ejbdeploy and thinclient features.
If you are installing from downloaded images from Passport Advantage, ensure that you downloaded both required disk images for your operating system. If you are installing from the DVD images, obtain the compressed files from the DVDs. In both cases, extract all of the files from the compressed files to the same location on your hard disk. Overwrite directories, if prompted.
About this task
- Installation Manager is installed or updated to the appropriate level.
- The required base products and IBM Business Process Manager Advanced - Process Server are installed.
Only one IBM Installation Manager is required to install multiple instances of IBM Business Process Manager.
Procedure
Results
Installation Manager installs the list of products and writes a log file to the directory that you specified. The log file is empty if there are no errors or warnings.
