WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server, Version 7.1

Customizing the installation response file for the plug-in

Before invoking the Telecom Web Services Server (TWSS) plug-in installer for WID in silent mode, you need to customize the response file that will be used to provide user responses to the installer.

About this task

Use the response file to supply values to the TWSS plug-in installer for WID. Running in silent mode, the plug-in installer does not display interactive dialogs. Instead, it reads values from the response file.

Be precise when supplying values in the file: Incorrect specifications affect the silent interface of the plug-in installer.

Follow these steps to customize the response file for the TWSS plug-in installer silently:
  1. Locate the response file twss_wid_install.rsp on the installation CD: The sample response file is in the response_files directory.
  2. Copy the response file to the machine where you intend to install the WID plug-in.
  3. Open the sample response file in a text editor of your choice.
  4. Edit the response file properties.
    Table 1. The following table lists the response file parameters.
    Property Description Example values
    LICENSE_ACCEPTED The license must be accepted before the installation process. true
    WAS_HOME The target installation home directory of the WebSphere® server. /opt/IBM/WID
    Note: The response file parameters have to be configured.
  5. Save the edited document.
Results

You are now ready to run the plug-in installer, which will use the edited response file to get the settings it needs.

What to do next
When the silent installation has completed, check the appropriate logs in the WID_home/logs directory (where WID_home is the WID home directory). Refer to the topic Monitoring log messages for additional information about reading logs.

You are now ready to run the installation script. The script will use the edited response file to get the settings it needs.
