Editing the response file

A silent installation uses a response file to inform the installer which actions to perform. This file must be customized before you begin the silent installation.

About this task

Customizing the response file involves setting the values of variables. The installer uses these variables during the silent installation process to determine what actions are required for the installation process.

Customize the response file precisely so that the installation program can read the option values accurately. For example, always enclose values in double quotation marks. When the installer encounters an incorrect parameter, it stops and writes an explanation of the problem to the installer log file: was_root/logs/XDMS/xdmsTraceInstall.log.

To edit your response file, perform the following procedure on the deployment manager node.

  1. Navigate to was_root/installableApps/xdms/samples.
    Note: was_root is the installation root directory for WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment. By default, this directory is:
    • AIX /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
    • Linux /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
  2. Open the installation response file, xdms_install.rsp, in a text editor.
  3. Edit the response file, modifying the following values as needed. The following table lists the response file parameters that are used for installation.
