Specifying fix pack parameters for silent installation

Specify the InfoSphere® MDM fix pack options that will be silently installed when a response file is run.

Before you begin

Attention: Although code examples might show line breaks, the text between <.../> brackets must be entered in the response file as one line without breaks.

Procedure

Open a response file.

Locate the following variables and edit the values to specify the fix pack options:

<!-- Fix Pack control--> 
    <data key='user.L2.fixpack.engine.backup.default.val,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='Y'/> 
    <data key='user.L2.fixpack.ui.backup.default.val,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='Y'/> 
    <data key='user.L2.fixpack.db.fix.apply.default.val,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='Y'/> 
    <data key='user.L2.fixpack.engine.redeploy.val,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='Y'/>
    <data key='user.L2.server.status.check.val,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='Y'/>

To disable fix packs being installed through silent installation mode, modify the following parameter so that the value is N:
Tip: Use this option if you plan on applying a fix pack manually.
```
<data key='user.L2.fixpack.engine.backup.default.val,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='N'/>
```
To skip applying the database portion of a fix pack, modify the following parameter so that the value is N:
Tip: Use this option if you plan on patching the database manually, but want the fix pack updates to be applied to the application.

```
To disable the server status checks that are routinely performed while fix packs are applied, modify the following parameter so that the value is N:
