Installing only the license activation kit for IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1.1 silently

You can choose to install the license activation kit only and install it through a silent installation.

Before you begin

About this task

You might want to install only the license activation kit if the IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1 is installed on your workstation and you plan to activate licenses for IBM InfoSphere® Optim™ Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1.1, so that everyone who connects to your databases or subsystems through an IBM Data Studio client can access the full set of tuning features.

This task involves generating a response file on one workstations, and then performing the installation with the response file on other workstations.

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 license activation kit silently:

  1. Ensure that IBM Installation Manager checks automatically for updates to itself.
    1. Launch IBM Installation Manager.
    2. Select File > Preferences.
    3. In the Preferences window, select Updates.
    4. On the Updates page, select the option Search for Installation Manager updates. Then, click OK.
    5. Close IBM Installation Manager.
  2. Generate a response file:
    1. 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
    2. 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 license activation kit on your workstation, 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
    3. In IBM Installation Manager, select File > Preferences.
    4. On the Repositories page, add the location of the diskTag.inf file for the license activation kit. Then, click OK.
      The path to the diskTag.inf file for the license activation kit:
      • On Windows operating systems: Root_path_of_installation_media\oqwt\diskTag.inf
      • On Linux operating systems: Root_path_of_installation_media/oqwt/diskTag.inf
    5. In the main screen of IBM Installation Manager, click Install.
    6. On the Select Packages page of the wizard, select the package for the license activation kit.
    7. On the Install Packages page, select the package group in which IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1 is installed.
    8. Finish the remaining steps in the wizard.
  3. Transfer the response file to a workstation where you want to install the license activation kit. Ensure that the version of IBM Installation Manager that you used to generate the response file 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.
  4. 3. Perform the silent installation.
    1. 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
    2. Run the command to start the silent installation.
      Note: 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 path and name>
      • For Linux: ./imcl -acceptLicense input response_file_name_and_path -log <log file path and name>

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.
