Use the IM_run_silent_modify script
to add or remove installable features or languages for IBM® InfoSphere® Data Architect across
your enterprise.
Before you begin
The
IDA_SILENT_FILES directory
must exist.
Procedure
To modify the product features or languages across your
enterprise:
- Optional: Edit the IM_run_silent_modify script
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 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 script.
- Check the log files for errors. The modification log
file, log_modify.xml, is in the IDA_SILENT_FILES directory.
- Run the silent modification on all the other computers
in your enterprise on which you want to modify product settings.

- IDA_SILENT_DATA_SAVE folder
- IDA_SILENT_FILES/response_modify.xml file
- IM_run_silent_modify script
- Open a command prompt.
