When you define preferences in a response file, your XML code will look similar to the following example:
<preference name = “the key of the preference" value = “the value of the preference to be set"> </preference>Use the following table to identify keys and their associated values for silent installation preferences:
Key | Value | Notes® |
---|---|---|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.logLocation | Specifies the location of Installation Manager log file. | Important: This key is optional and is designed for testing
and debugging. If you do not specify a location for the log file, both silent
installation and the UI version of Installation Manager will use the same
location.
|
com.ibm.cic.license.policy.location | Specifies a URL that defines where the remote license policy file resides. | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyEnabled | True or False | Proxy servers enable connection to remote servers from behind the firewall. False is the default value. Use this option to enable an HTTP or SOCKS proxy. After the proxy is enabled, the proxy will be used for all server communications. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyHost | Host name or IP address | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyPort | Port number | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyUseSocks | True or False | Proxy servers enable connection to remote servers from behind the firewall. False is the default value. Enable this option so that you can specify a SOCKS proxy host address (required) and a SOCKS proxy port number (optional). |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.SOCKS.proxyHost | Host name or IP address | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.SOCKS.proxyPort | Port number | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.ftp.proxyEnabled | True or False | False is the default value. FTP proxy is an application-level gateway for FTP. It functions between a client and a server, forwarding command and data streams. Beside this basic function, which makes the program helpful on firewall or masqueraders, it offers fixing the FTP server (for example, for connections into a protected LAN) and proxy authentication. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.ftp.proxyHost | Host name or IP address | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.ftp.proxyPort | Port number | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.eclipseCache | c:\IBM\common (Windows®) /opt/IBM/common (Linux®)
Note: The
paths above are default values for this preference; typically, install packages
provide their own values for this preference.
|
You cannot change this location if you have already installed a package. |
com.ibm.cic.agent.core.pref.offering.service.repositories.areUsed | True or False | Change this preference to 'False' to disable it. When 'True', all linked repositories will be searched when products are installed or updated. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.preserveDownloadedArtifacts | True or False | Change this preference to 'False' to disable it. When true, the files required to roll the package back to a previous version are stored on your system. When false, these files are not stored. If you do not store these files, you must connect to your original repository or media to roll back. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.repositoryLocations_EDITABLE | True or False | Use this preference to prevent or allow users to make changes to the repositories once the product is installed. |
