IT23551: INSTALLING IBM DATA SERVER RUNTIME CLIENT VIA SILENT INSTALL, FAILS TO CREATE A DB2 INSTANCE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:  Installing on Windows platforms.  Tested on
  Windows 7 and 2008 server.
  
  When using following command to silently install IBM Data Server
  runtime client:
  v10.5fp5_ntx64_rtcl_EN.exe /S /v"/l*v c:\DB2LOG\db2rtcl.log /qn
  RSP_FILE_PATH=c:\db2rtcl.rsp"
  
  the default instance is not created.
  
  Following install if you open a DB2 CLP window and type db2level
  or any db2 command you will receive error:
  sql1022C Not enough memory to run command
  
  If you then run db2icrt <instance name>
  
  All works.
  
  Issue is caused by db2rspgn generating
  FILE=c:\SQLLIB\
  where is should be
  FILE=c:\SQLLIB
  
  Once we removed the extra \ from the response file keyword
  above, the silent install works.
  

Local fix

• Ensure that response file keyword FILE value does not have a \
  at the end.
