Use the IM_response_modify.bat and IM_run_silent_modify.bat scripts
to add or remove installable features or languages for IBM® Data Studio across
your enterprise.
Before you begin
The
DS_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 1.5.1,
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 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. Installation Manager starts.
- On the 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 Installation Manager window
to save the response file.
The directory is changed to the location of Installation Manager.
The simulated modification data, response_modify.xml,
is saved in the DS_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 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 DS_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:
- DS_SILENT_DATA_SAVE folder
- DS_SILENT_FILES/response_modify.xml file
- IM_run_silent_modify.bat script
- Open a command prompt.
- Change the directory to the Installation Manager installation
directory.
- Run the IM_run_silent_modify.bat script.
