WebSphere® MQ
File Transfer Edition provides
an unattended or silent installation for the Server and Client components.
About this task
Complete the following steps to install the Server or Client
in an unattended mode.
Procedure
- Create a response file that defines your install directory
and configuration directory. For information about how
to create this file, see Creating a Server response file using the console installer and Creating a Client response file using the console installer.
- Mount the DVD containing WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Server
installation for IBM i on
the optical drive of your IBM i
system.
- Mount the IBM WebSphere MQ
File Transfer Edition Server
or Client DVD on the optical drive of the IBM i system.
- From an IBM i command
line, start PASE using the following command: CALL QP2TERM
- When you are in PASE, change directory using the following
command: cd /QOPT/IBMi/VM
- Start the installer, using the executable or binary file
and use the -f parameter to pass in the location
of the response file. You must specify the full path to the response
file. Use the following command:
./install -i silent -f response_file_location/response_file_name
- Wait while the unattended installer installs the product
to the installation directory and creates the configuration directory
defined by the response file.
If
you chose to skip the configuration steps in your response file, you
can continue with steps 8 through 10 to configure the coordination
queue manager, command manager, and agent after the silent installation
is completed.
- Optional: If you chose to skip the configuration
steps in your response file, configure the coordination queue manager
using the fteSetupCoordination command.
- Optional: If you chose to skip the configuration
steps in your response file, configure the command queue manager using
the fteSetupCommands command.
- Optional: If you chose to skip the configuration
steps in your response file, create the agent configuration using
the fteCreateAgent command.
- The installer or the fteSetupCoordination command
creates a file containing MQSC commands that you must run against
the coordination queue manager. This file is located in the config_directory/coordination_qmgr_name directory.
- The installer or the fteCreateAgent command
creates a file containing MQSC commands that you must run against
the agent queue manager. This file is located in the config_directory/coordination_qmgr_name/agents/agent_name directory.
- Press the F3=Exit function key to
exit the PASE environment.
- From the IBM i command
line, start the QFTE subsystem using the following command: STRSBS
