After the installation program completes the prerequisites
check and you specify installation options for each tier, you specify
a response file and proceed with the installation process. The response
file contains configuration information that tells the installation
program how to perform an installation.
About this task
Saving a response file is important if you want to cancel
the current installation session and use the response file in a later
session. Use the installation wizard to specify a name and location
for your response file.
Procedure
In the installation wizard, specify a name and location
for the response file in the Response file location field
(at this point, you can choose to cancel the installation and use
the saved response file in a later session).
Choose to install the product and click Next to
begin the product installation.
The program displays a
summary of the choices that you made in the wizard. As the installation
proceeds, the installation program reports the progress in the window.Figure 1. Response File Review page
Be mindful of the following conditions while the installation
program is running:
Leave the command prompt open until the installation is complete,
as shown in the following figure.Figure 2. Command
prompt open during installation
If the system encounters an error, it might occasionally request
a response from you. Check periodically to make sure that the system
is not waiting for you to respond.
Pop-up windows might be displayed, that you must respond to for
the installation to proceed. Occasionally a pop-up window might be
displayed behind the web browser. If the installation halts for a
long interval, check for pop-up windows displayed behind the web browser.
You can click on the navigation line on the left side to bring the
exception window to the front.
After you have started the installation process, keep the web
browser open to monitor progress and to respond if there is an error.
If you close the web browser, the installation continues to the end.
You can reconnect to the session by opening a new web browser to the
same URL. You can also monitor the installation process by reading
the log files.
Depending on your security settings,
warning windows might display during the installation of the IBM® Db2® database
system or other components. Ignore the warnings, and click OK to
continue the installation.
