Performing a silent installation of Access Server (Windows)

Procedure

  1. Copy the installation file for your platform from the DVD or download it from the IBM® Web site.
  2. Generate your response file in one of two ways:
    • Edit the following example response file for Access Server so that it is specific to your environment:
      # Wed Nov 15 21:25:28 EST 2017 
# Replay feature output 
# --------------------- 
# This file was built by the Replay feature of InstallAnywhere. 
# It contains variables that were set by Panels, Consoles or Custom Code. 

#Indicate whether the license agreement been accepted
#----------------------------- 
LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE

#Choose Install Folder 
#--------------------- 
USER_INSTALL_DIR=C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\InfoSphere Data Replication\\Access Server

#Choose Shortcut Folder 
#---------------------- 
USER_SHORTCUTS=C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Start Menu\\Programs\\IBM InfoSphere Data Replication\\Access Server

#Choose Access Server Port 
#------------------------- 
as.port=10101 

#Choose Access Server User Name 
#------------------------------ 
access.username=Admin 

#Choose Access Server Password 
#----------------------------- 
access.password=myPassword 

#Choose to enable LDAP
#---------------------
as.enableldap=none

#Skip AS user creation
#---------------------
as.skipcreateasuser=false

#Specify user data folder
#------------------------
as.userdatalocation=C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Local\\IBM\\InfoSphere Data Replication\\Access Server\\11.4
      where:
      • access.username - Can only be used if as.enableldap is set to none.
      • access.password - Can only be used if as.enableldap is set to none.
      • as.enableldap - The available options are none, authonly, full, or embedded.
      • as.skipcreateasuser - If as.enableldap is set to none, set this value to false. If as.enableldap is set to authonly, full, or embedded, set this value to true.
    • Record your own response file by running the following command: <installation_executable_name> -r <response_file>
      where:
      • <installation_executable_name> is the name of the Access Server installation file.
      • <response_file> is the name of the response file.

      For example, cdcaccess-<version>-setup.exe -r ASResponseFile.txt

  3. Silently install Access Server by running the following command:

    <installation_executable_name> -i SILENT -f <response_file>

    For example, cdcaccess-<version>-setup.bin -i SILENT -f ASResponseFile.txt
