Commands for using response files with Installation Manager.
About this task
There are two ways to use response files. You can send
users the command to run the silent installation, or you can send
the location of the response file to users, who can then download
and optionally modify the file.
Procedure
Use this procedure to send the command to run the silent
installation to users. Users must run the silent installation command
from the Eclipse directory.
Windows:
cd "C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse"
IBMIMc --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response
file path and name>
Note: On Windows®, the command IBMIM.exe does not support
silent installations. Use IBMIMc.exe for silent installations. Use
IBMIM.exe for installations that are not silent and when recording
a response file. Do not use the command IBMIMc on Linux® and UNIX® systems.
Linux and UNIX systems:
/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse
./IBMIM --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response
file path and name>
Use this procedure to send the location of the response
file to users. The users can load the response file into Installation Manager and either
accept the answers provided by the response file or make changes in Installation Manager. To load
the response file, run the command:
Windows: "C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\IBMIMc"
-input <response file path and name>
Note: On Windows, the command IBMIM.exe
does not support silent installations. Use IBMIMc.exe for silent
installations. Use IBMIM.exe for installations that are not silent
and when recording a response file. Do not use the command IBMIMc
on Linux and UNIX systems.
Linux and UNIX systems: /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/IBMIM
-input <response file path and name>
