Use the IM_run_silent_lak scripts
to install the license activation kit for InfoSphere® Data Architect across your
enterprise.
Before you begin
The
IDA_SILENT_DATA_SAVE directory must
exist.
Procedure
To install the license activation kit for the product
across the enterprise:
- Optional: Edit the IM_run_silent_lak 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,
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 scripts. The parameter values must match
the values in the installation scripts.
- Generate the response file with Installation Manager or
update the sample response files in the product_package/enterpriseDeployment/sampleResponseFiles directory. For information about generating a response file, see Creating a response file manually.
- On the base computer, run the silent activation with the
silent response file.
- Open a command prompt, change the directory to the IBM Installation Manager installation
directory, and run the IM_run_silent_lak script.
- Check the log files for errors. The activation log file, log_modify.xml,
is in the IDA_SILENT_FILES directory.
- Run the silent activation on all the other computers in
your enterprise on which you want to activate the product license.

- IDA_SILENT_DATA_SAVE folder
- IDA_SILENT_FILES/response_lak.xml file
- IM_run_silent_lak script
- Open a command prompt.
