Silent installations can be run by executing the setup
script using a customized response file.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have met the installation prerequisites
that are listed in the topic Customizing the installation response
file for Telecom Web Services Server base components. Then
customize the response file using the steps that are found in
the same topic.
About this task
After customizing the response file, follow these steps to
install the TWSS base components silently:
- Log on to the operating system with a
user ID that has administrator authority, such as root.
- Select a umask that allows the owner
to read and write to the files, and that allows others to access them
according to the prevailing system policy.
Note: For root,
a umask of 022 is recommended. For non-root users
an umask of 002 or 022 can
be used, depending on whether or not the users share the group.
- Invoke the setup script to install Telecom Web Services Server base
components. The script makes use of your customized response
file. Issue the following command:
./setup -i silent -f full_path_to_response_file
For
example:
./setup -i silent -f /opt/IBM/twss_base_install.rsp
The installation process always creates an install trace file in the /tmp directory TWSS-base_InstallTrace.log. This file is helpful in determining any install problems and is required by the product support team for any install-related problems. After the installation is done, this trace file is moved to the was_root/logs directory.
A separate log file is also created under the was_root/logs directory: TWSS-base_InstallLog.log. The log file is translated to the user-selected language during the installation.
Results
Depending on the options selected, the silent installation
may take a while to complete. For example, it may take time for the WebSphere® Application Server to
be stopped.
What to do next
When the silent installation has completed, check the
appropriate logs in the was_root/logs directory.
Refer to the topic Monitoring log messages for additional
information about reading logs.
