Installing silently

You can use the silent installation feature of IBM® Installation Manager to install IBM Rational® Insight unattended. To do so, you need to create a response file with the commands and inputs that are needed during the installation process.
About this task
The response file is an XML document where you define your preferences in the following format:
<preference
	name = "the key of the preference"
	value = "the value of the preference to be set">
</preference>
Depending upon the features you want to install on a system and other parameters, you can create different response files. To see an example of a response file and the commands you can use in the file, see the related links at the bottom of the page.

To run a silent installation:

  1. Create a response file. To see how to create and use a response file, see the related links at the bottom of the page.
  2. Go to the directory where Installation Manager is installed.
  3. Run the response file:
    Windows Use the following command:
    IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input [response file path and name] -log [log file path and name]
    The log file is optional.
    Linux Use the following command:
    IBMIM --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input [response file path and name] -log [log file path and name]
