Recording an installation response file requires you to
run the interactive installation process and at each step enter the
desired parameters for the installation. The installer records these
parameters in an installation response file.
About this task
Attention: The host machine on which you record
an installation response file must not have a version of Netcool/SSM currently installed.
Attempting to record an installation on a machine that contains an
installed version of Netcool/SSM will
uninstall the existing version instead of recording an installation.
Procedure
To record an installation response file:
- Enter the command:
netcool_ssm-4.0.1-xxxx-win32.exe /r /f1"filename"
where the x characters represent the build
number of your version of the Netcool/SSM installer.
- Follow the installation procedure through to completion.
When the procedure is complete, the installation response file is
stored in the file specified by the /f1 switch.
Results
Tip: If you did not specify a file using the /f1 switch,
the installer records the responses in the file setup.iss located
in the Windows directory of the host machine, which is C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT.
If you specify a filename but no path, the installer creates the file
in the Windows directory.
