Installing using the unattended (silent) installer on IBM i systems
WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition provides an unattended (silent) installer for IBM® i platforms.
When you install WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition in an unattended or silent mode, the installer runs without any user interaction. In this mode, installation is completed according to a predefined set of options contained in a response file. Use the unattended mode for automated installations over many identical systems.
To install WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition on IBM i platforms, the user that performs the installation must have a user profile of *SECOFR class.
On IBM i systems, the installation location and the configuration location are fixed. The product installation is installed in the /QIBM/ProdData/WMQFTE/V7 directory in the integrated file system and the data directory is created in the /QIBM/UserData/WMQFTE/V7/config directory.
