WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server, Version 7.1

Installing Telecom Web Services Server base components silently

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:
  1. Log on to the operating system with a user ID that has administrator authority, such as root.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
