Installing Maximo Anywhere in silent mode

To install in silent mode, a response file is required. You can generate a response file by completing a successful installation of Maximo Anywhere with the Installation Manager. Alternatively, you can use a sample response file that is provided in the Maximo Anywhere installation image.

Before you begin

Installation Manager must be installed on the target computer.

Copy a generated response file or a sample response file with the necessary changes to the target computer. A sample response file is provided for your operating system in the Max_Anywhere_V764\samples folder of the Maximo Anywhere compressed installation image.

For Windows installations, use the response_install_Maximo_Anywhere_Win.xml response file.

For Mac OS X installations, use the response_install_Maximo_Anywhere_UnixMac.xml response file.

About this task

You can copy the Maximo Anywhere response file to multiple computers to run silent installations.

You must ensure that all values in the response file are valid for the target system.

Procedure

Open the response file for editing and modify the values for your operating system. Ensure that the value for the repository location is correct.
Change directory to the tools directory where Installation Manager was installed and run the following command:
```
imcl -input responsefilename -log logfilename -acceptLicense 
```
Specify the path and name of the existing response file and log file that you want to use. The -acceptLicense parameter is used to accept the license automatically.
For example, on Windows, run the following command:
```
imcl -input C:\tmp\response_install_Maximo_Anywhere_Win.xml
-log C:\tmp\silent_install_log.xml -acceptLicense
```
