Use the
IM_response_install.bat and
IM_run_silent_install.bat scripts
to install
IBM InfoSphere
Optim Query Tuner Client across
your enterprise.
Procedure
To install the product across the enterprise:
- Optional: Edit the IM_response_install.bat and IM_run_silent_install.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 installation.
- 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:\.
If you edit these parameters, you must also change them in
the corresponding script files for update or uninstallation if you
use the script files to do an update or uninstallation.
- Generate the silent installation response file.
- Open a command prompt and run the IM_response_install.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 Select Packages page, look in the window title
to verify that recording is taking place, ensure that the packages
that you want to install are selected, and click Next.
- Complete the remaining pages of the wizard. Remember
the following things when you make your selections:
- The directories and settings that you select in the wizard will
be used for all of the computers that you run the response file on.
- If you choose to install the product into an existing version
of Eclipse, this setting must be valid on all computers that you will
deploy the installation on.
Important: Use this option
only if you are experienced with Eclipse and are sure that the existing
Eclipse IDEs on the computers on which you plan to deploy the installation
are compatible with the Eclipse IDE that
IBM InfoSphere
Optim Query Tuner Client requires.
- Close the IBM Installation Manager window to save the
response file.
- On the base computer, run the silent installation with
the silent response file.
- Open a command prompt, change to the media root directory,
and run the IM_run_silent_install.bat script.
When the silent installation is complete, press any
key to return to the command prompt line. When you click All
Programs, short cuts appear for the product.
- Check the log file for errors. The installation
log file, log_install.xml, is in the IOQT_SILENT_DATA_SAVE directory.
- Run the silent installation on all the other computers
in your enterprise on which you want to install IBM InfoSphere
Optim Query Tuner Client.
- Copy the following folder and files to the target computers:
- IOQT_SILENT_DATA_SAVE folder
- IOQT_SILENT_FILES/response_install.xml file
- IM_run_silent_install.bat script
- Open a command prompt.
- Change the directory to the IBM Installation Manager installation directory.
- Run the IM_run_silent_install.bat script.
