You can choose to install the license activation kit only
and install it through a silent installation.
Before you begin
- Ensure that any version of IBM® Installation
Manager from 1.3.3 through 1.5 is installed on your workstation.
- Ensure that the IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1 is
already installed on the workstations where you plan to install silently
the license activation kit.
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:
- 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 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
- In IBM Installation
Manager, select .
- 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
- In the main screen of IBM Installation
Manager, click Install.
- On the Select Packages page of the wizard, select the
package for the license activation kit.
- On the Install Packages page, select the package group
in which IBM Data Studio full
client, Version 3.1.1 is installed.
- Finish the remaining steps in the wizard.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
