Silent installation of language packs for agents

You can use the silent installation process to install language packs to use with the Cloud Pak System Software Agent on Windows and UNIX or Linux® systems.

Before you begin

First, make sure that you installed an external Cloud Pak System Software Agent in the English language.

About this task

Install a language pack on any system where you have installed either the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server or the Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop client.

Procedure

Copy and paste the ITM_Agent_LP_silent.rsp response file template as shown in the example that follows this procedure.
Change the following parameter settings:

NLS_PACKAGE_FOLDER

Folder where the National Language Support package (NLSPackage) files are located. Typically, the NLSPackage files are located in the nlspackage folder, which typically is located at, //tmp//LP//nlspackage on UNIX and LINUX systems and in the folder where the installer executable file is located on Windows systems.

PROD_SELECTION_PKG

Name of the LangPack to install. Several product components can be included in one language package. You might want to install only some of the available components in a language pack.

BASE_AGENT_FOUND_PKG_LIST

Agent for which you are installing language support. This value is usually the same as PROD_SELECTION_PKG.

LANG_SELECTION_LIST

Language you want to install.
Enter the command to install the language pack with a response file (silent installation):
1. For UNIX or Linux systems:
```
lpinstaller.sh -c candle_home -i silent -f path_to_response_file
```
  where candle_home is the IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring base directory.
2. For Windows systems:
```
lpinstaller.bat -f path_to_response_file
```
When the silent installation process completes the languages you selected have been installed.
Restart the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Eclipse Help Server.

#lpinstaller.sh is located (IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent Language Pack build 
#location).
#
#2.Modify the response file so that it is customized correctly and completely for 
#your site.
#  Complete all steps listed below in the response file.
#
#3.After customizing the response file, invoke the silent installation using the 
#following command:
#For Windows:
#    lpinstaller.bat -f <path_to_response_file>
#For UNIX and Linux:
#    lpinstaller.sh -c <candle_home> -f <path_to_response_file>
