Installing IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook Premium from the command line

Question & Answer


Question

Is it possible to install Analyst's Notebook Premium from the command line?  When no responses to prompts are required, this is sometimes referred to as a silent installation.

Answer

To install Analyst's Notebook Premium 9, use the following command at a command prompt:
<NOTE: Make sure and open the command prompt with "Run as Administrator".>

msiexec /i "IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook Premium 9.msi"

Ensure that all Analyst's Notebook prerequisites are installed before you run this command, or the installation might fail.

When you install Analyst's Notebook Premium through the user interface, you can select which options you want to install. When you install Analyst's Notebook Premium from the command line, only Analyst's Notebook and the common files are installed by default, but you can add features by specifying their names. The following table outlines the main features in the installer and their default installation levels:
Feature Name Default Installation Level Description
i2Common 1 Common files (always required)
i2ANBP 1 Analyst's Notebook (required by all features except Schema Designer)
EsriMaps 250 i2 Esri Maps
i2Opal 300 Connector to i2 Analyze that uses the Opal Services
i2SD 300 Schema Designer

You can use the ADDLOCAL property to add features to your installation in the following format:

msiexec /i "IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook Premium 9.msi" ADDLOCAL=<feature name>,<feature name>,<feature name>

For example, to install Analyst's Notebook Premium with the Opal connector in silent mode, use the following command:

msiexec /i "IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook Premium 9.msi" ADDLOCAL=i2Common,i2ANBP,i2Opal /qn

Note: Feature names are case-sensitive.
