Installing only the license activation kit for IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1.1 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 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 for DB2® for z/OS®, Version 3.1.1, so that everyone who connects to your subsystems through an IBM Data Studio client can access the full set of tuning features for DB2 for z/OS.

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

  1. Generate a response file:
    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 one of these commands to start IBM Installation Manager.
      Note:
      • The commands as shown will not install the license activation kit on your workstation, and will generate a response file only, in addition to a log file. If you want to install the license activation kit on your workstation, remove the -skipInstall option from the command that you run.
      • Ensure the file paths you enter exist; Installation Manager will not create directories for the response file and the log file.
      If the users on the workstations where you plan to install the license activation kit have administrative rights:
      • For Windows: IBMIM.exe –record <response file and path name> -log <log file and path name> -skipInstall <full path name of a writable directory>
      • For Linux: IBMIM -record < full path name of the response file> -log <log file and path name> -skipInstall < full path name of a writable directory>
      If the users on the workstations where you plan to install the license activation kit do not have administrative rights:
      • For Windows: userinst.exe –record <response file and path name> -log <log file and path name> -skipInstall <full path name of a writable directory>
      • For Linux: userinst -record < full path name of the response file> -log <log file and path name> -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: <Install media root>\oqwt\diskTag.inf
      • On Linux operating systems: <Install media root>/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. 4. 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.
  2. Transfer the response file to a workstation where you want to install the license activation kit. Ensure that the version of IBM Installtion 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. 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 one of these commands.
      Note: The -log option creates a new log file, so the directory that you specify must be writable.
      If you generated the response file with any version of IBM Installation Manager from 1.3.3 to 1.4.2:
      • For Windows: IBMIMc.exe -launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response file path and name> -log <log file path and name>
      • For Linux: ./IBMIM -launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response file path and name> -log <log file path and name>
      If you generated the response file with IBM Installation Manager 1.4.3 or 1.5:
      • For Windows: imcl.exe -acceptLicense input <response file path and name> -log <log file path and name>
      • For Linux: ./imcl -acceptLicense input <response file path and name> -log <log file path and name>
