Use IBM Installation Manager to run
a silent install of a Rational product. When you run a silent install,
the Installation Manager interface
is not available. Installation Manager uses a
response file that contains commands required to install the product
package.
About this task
You can install, update, modify and uninstall product
packages using a silent install. When you complete the silent install,
you can use an existing response file or record a new one using Installation
Manager. See the these technotes to download sample response files
for Rational ClearCase and ClearQuest products.
For more information and instructions for recording a response
file, see
Working in silent mode in the Installation
Manager Information Center.
Important: If you start
the silent install using the launchpad program, Installation Manager
is installed for you. If you are not using the launchpad installer,
you must install Installation Manager before
you can silently install a product package.
