You can choose to install only the IBM Data Studio full
client silently.
Before you begin
Ensure that any version of IBM® Installation
Manager from 1.3.3 through 1.5 is installed on your workstation.
About this task
You might want to install only the IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1 in
either of these situations:
- The IBM InfoSphere® Optim™ Query
Tuner client, Version 3.1.1 is installed on your workstation and you
want to upgrade to IBM Data
Studio full client, Version 3.1.1. You can connect to databases and
subsystems on which the license for IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1 is
active and use the full set of features in Version 3.1.1.
- You do not need to install the license activation kit because
you will not be activating product licenses on DB2® databases or subsystems.
This task involves generating a response file on one workstations,
and then performing the installation with the response file on other
workstations. The workstation where you generate the response file
must already have IBM Installation
Manager installed.
Restrictions: - If you generate a response file on a workstation that is running
a Windows operating system,
you must perform the silent installation with that response file on
another workstation that is running a Windows operating
system.
- If you generate a response file on a workstation that is running
a Linux operating system, you
must perform the silent installation with that response file on another
workstation that is running a Linux operating
system.
Procedure
To install only the IBM Data Studio full client silently:
- Ensure that IBM Installation Manager checks automatically
for updates to itself.
- Launch IBM Installation Manager.
- Select .
- In the Preferences window, select Updates.
- On the Updates page, select the option Search
for Installation Manager updates. Then, click OK.
- Close IBM Installation Manager.
- Generate a response file:
- At a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory
in the directory where IBM Installation
Manager is installed. The default path to the subdirectory
depends on your operating system and whether you have administrative
rights on the workstation.
- If you have administrative rights on the workstation:
- On Windows: C:\Program
Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
- On Linux: /opt/IBM/Installation
Manager/eclipse
- If you do not have administrative rights on the workstation:
- On Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional: C:\Documents
and Settings\user\IBM\Installation Manager
- On Windows Vista, Windows 2008, and Windows 7: C:\Users\users\IBM\Installation
Manager
- On Linux: /user_home_directory/IBM/InstallationManager
- Run one of these commands to start IBM Installation Manager, to generate a response
file, and to generate a log file. When you specify the command, ensure
that the file paths you enter exist; Installation Manager will not
create directories for the response file and the log file. If
you want to install the IBM Data
Studio full client, Version 3.1.1 on your workstation, in addition
to generating the response file, remove the -skipInstall option from
the command that you run.
- Command to run if the users on the workstations where you plan
to install the IBM Data Studio
full client have administrative rights
- For Windows:
IBMIM.exe
–record response_file_name_and_path
-log log_file_name_and_path
-skipInstall full_path_name_of_a_writable_directory
- For Linux:
IBMIM
-record response_file_name_and_path
-log log_file_name_and_path
-skipInstall full_path_name_of_a_writable_directory
- Commands to run if the users on the workstations where you plan
to install the IBM Data Studio
full client do not have administrative rights
- For Windows:
userinst.exe
–record response_file_name_and_path
-log log_file_name_and_path
-skipInstall full_path_name_of_a_writable_directory
- For Linux:
userinst
-record response_file_name_and_path
-log log_file_name_and_path
-skipInstall full_path_name_of_a_writable_directory
- In IBM Installation
Manager, select .
- On the Repositories page, add the location of the diskTag.inf file
for the IBM Data Studio full
client, Version 3.1.1. Then, click OK.
The path to the
diskTag.inf file for IBM Data Studio full client:
- On Windows operating
systems: Root_path_of_installation_media\disk1\diskTag.inf
- On Linux operating systems: Root_path_of_installation_media/disk1/diskTag.inf
- In the main screen of IBM Installation
Manager, click Install.
- On the Select Packages page of the wizard, select the
package for the IBM Data Studio
full client.
- On the Install Packages page, specify an existing package
group or a new package group depending on whether you are upgrading
an existing product. The results of these steps apply
to the workstation on which you are generating the response file,
if you did not use the -skipInstall option in step
b; the results of these steps also apply on the workstations where
you perform the silent installations.
- If you have the InfoSphere Optim Query
Tuner client, Version 3.1 or IBM Data
Studio full client, Version 3.1 installed and you want to upgrade
to IBM Data Studio full client,
Version 3.1.1, select the package group in which the product that
you want to replace appears. The Installation Manager wizard will
uninstall that product before installing IBM Data
Studio full client, Version 3.1.1.
InfoSphere Optim Query Tuner client, Version 3.1 and IBM Data Studio full client, Version
3.1 could be in separate package groups or the same package group.
If they are in separate package groups, choose one of the package
groups. Installation Manager will not uninstall the client that is
in the other package group.
- If you do not have the InfoSphere Optim Query
Tuner client, Version 3.1 or IBM Data
Studio full client, Version 3.1 installed, create a new package group.
- Finish the remaining steps in the wizard.
The response file is generated at the location that you
specified when you ran the command.
- Transfer the response file to a workstation where you want
to install the IBM Data Studio
full client, Version 3.1.1. Ensure that IBM Installation Manager is installed on the
workstation where you want to run the silent installation. Ensure
that the repositories that the response file specifies are accessible
by IBM Installation Manager.
For example, if the response file points to the diskTag.inf file that
is on the product DVD, place the product DVD in the DVD drive of the
workstation before starting the silent installation.
- Ensure that IBM Installation Manager checks automatically
for updates to itself.
- Launch IBM Installation Manager.
- Select .
- In the Preferences window, select Updates.
- On the Updates page, select the option Search
for Installation Manager updates. Then, click OK.
- Close IBM Installation Manager.
- 3. Perform the silent installation.
- At a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory
in the directory where IBM Installation
Manager is installed.
- On Windows, for example: cd
C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
- On Linux, for example: cd
/opt/IBM/Installation Manager/eclipse
- Run the command to start the silent installation. The -log option creates a new log file, so
the directory that you specify must be writable.
- For Windows: imcl.exe
-acceptLicense input response_file_name_and_path -log log_file_name_and_path
- For Linux: ./imcl
-acceptLicense input response_file_name_and_path -log log_file_name_and_path
What to do next
If you need to configure DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows databases so that you can tune SQL
statements or query workloads, see Configuring DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows databases
for use with IBM InfoSphere Optim Query
Workload Tuner.
If you need to configure DB2 for z/OS® subsystems
so that you can tune SQL statements or query workloads, see Configuring a DB2 for z/OS subsystem for query and query-workload
tuning with InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner.
If
your databases or subsystems were already configured for tuning with IBM InfoSphere Optim Query
Workload Tuner, Version 3.1 and a license for that version is active
on the databases or subsystems, you can start IBM Data Studio full client and start tuning.
