Use the
IM_response_modify.bat and
IM_run_silent_modify.bat scripts
to add or remove installable features or languages for
IBM InfoSphere
Optim Query Tuner Client across
your enterprise.
Before you begin
The
IOQT_SILENT_FILES directory
must exist.
Procedure
To modify the product features or languages across your
enterprise:
- Optional: Edit the IM_response_modify.bat and IM_run_silent_modify.bat scripts
to change the default parameters for:
- The location and file names for the generated log and response
files
- The location to store data for the simulated modification
- The location of IBM Installation Manager, Version 1.4.3, if it
is not installed into the default installation directory. On Windows,
the default installation directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation
Manager
- The location of the installation files for the product. For example,
if the installation files are on a DVD that is in a drive that is
mapped to D:, the location is D:\.
Important: Edit these parameters only if you edited
them for the installation batch files. The parameter values must match
the values in the installation batch files.
- Generate the silent modification response file.
- Open a command prompt, change to the IBM Installation
Manager installation directory, and run the IM_response_modify.bat script. For example, on Windows,
the default Installation Manager installation directory is Program
Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse. IBM® Installation Manager starts.
- On the IBM Installation Manager main page, look in the
window title to verify that recording is taking place. Then, click Modify.
- Complete the pages of the wizard to change packages
or languages as needed. Then click Modify and Finish.
- Close the IBM Installation Manager window to save the
response file.
The directory is changed to the location of IBM Installation
Manager. The simulated modification data, response_modify.xml,
is saved in the IOQT_SILENT_DATA_SAVE directory.
- On the base computer, run the silent installation with
the silent response file.
- Open a command prompt, change the directory to the IBM
Installation Manager installation directory, and run the IM_run_silent_modify.bat script.
- Check the log files for errors. The modification log
file, log_modify.xml, is in the IOQT_SILENT_FILES directory.
- Run the silent modification on all the other computers
in your enterprise on which you want to modify product settings.
- Copy the following folder and files to the target computers:
- IOQT_SILENT_DATA_SAVE folder
- IOQT_SILENT_FILES/response_modify.xml file
- IM_run_silent_modify.bat script
- Open a command prompt.
- Change the directory to the IBM Installation Manager installation directory.
