A silent installation or upgrade is an installation that
runs without displaying an interface or prompting you for input. Silent
installations or upgrades simplify the process of installing or upgrading
the product on multiple computers.
Before you begin
- You must have read and write privileges on the directory where
you plan to install or upgrade Data Studio web console.
- If you are upgrading an earlier version of Data Studio web console or IBM® Data
Studio Health Monitor, make sure that
you run the installation program as the same type of user, administrative
or non-administrative, that you used when you installed the earlier
version of the software.
About this task
To install
Data Studio web console silently, use
a response file that contains the properties and values that are used
as input for the installation to do one or more silent installations
of the product. See
Response files.
Tip: For
an upgrade, ensure that you type the installation directory of the
existing product.
If you install the product as a Windows administrator, Data Studio web console is added as
a Windows service. If you
run the installer as a non-administrative user, an administrative
user can later install the Data Studio web console service manually
by running the installservice.bat script from
the DSWC_installation_dir/bin directory.
Procedure
To install Data Studio web console silently by
using a response file:
- If you are upgrading an earlier version of Data Studio web console or IBM Data
Studio Health Monitor, do the following
tasks to prepare to upgrade:
- Stop the earlier version of Data Studio Health Monitor, if running:
- Linux and UNIX: From the DSHM_installation_dir/bin directory,
run the command stop.sh
- Windows: From the Start menu,
click .
- Uninstall any manually installed Windows service. If you manually
configured Data Studio Health Monitor to
run as a Windows service,
you must manually uninstall the service by running removeservice.bat from
the DSHM_installation_dir/bin directory.
- Run the installer in silent mode. Run the following
command from the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where you installed
Installation Manager:
- For Windows: imcl.exe input response_file_path_and_name -log log_file_path_and_name –acceptLicense
- For other platforms: imcl input response_file_path_and_name -log log_file_path_and_name –acceptLicense
Data Studio web console is
installed.
- Optional: To
see the installation details, you can check the installation log files
in the following directories:
- On Linux and UNIX:
- DSWC_installation_dir/logs/
- /var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs/
- On Windows:
- DSWC_installation_dir\logs\
- C:\ProgramData\IBM\Installation Manager\logs\
What to do next
If
Data Studio web console is
not already running, start it and log in to the web console by using
the default administrative user that you created when you installed
the product. If you upgraded your product, log in as a user with permission
to access the web console.
