The sample file must be adapted to your environment before it can be used.
To uninstall FTM for Corporate Payment Services in silent mode:
  1. Change to the directory where the FTM for Corporate Payment Services installation repository .zip file is located.
  2. Edit the response file. Make sure that you specify the path names in the format appropriate for your target operating system. The examples show path names for AIX®.
    • Enable the section of the response file that corresponds to your target operating system. The tags in a section for a specific operating system are surrounded by a beginning and ending comment. Remove the entire line for each of the comments. The beginning and ending comments for an operating system have text that is similar to what is shown the following example:
      *** Delete this line for your target operating system installation
    • To set the installation repository, locate the following tag for your operating system and replace your_ftm_CorporatePaymentServices_repository_directory with the directory that contains the repository .zip file:
      <repository location='your_ftm_CorporatePaymentServices_repository_directory'/>
    • If your FTM for Corporate Payment Services installation directory is different than the default directory, locate the following tag for your operating system and replace the default directory name with your installation directory. In the following example, you would replace the /opt/IBM/ftm directory name with your installation directory.
      <variable name='installLocation' value='/opt/IBM/ftm'/>
    • If the IBM Installation Manager shared resources directory is not /opt/IBM/IBMIMShared, locate the following tag for your operating system and replace the default directory with the correct directory. In the following example, you would replace /opt/IBM/IBMIMShared.
      <variable name='sharedLocation' value='/opt/IBM/IBMIMShared'/>
  3. Save the response file.
  4. To start IBM Installation Manager in silent mode, from the directory that contains the response file, issue one of the following commands on a single line.
