Installing silently

You can install IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine unattended by using the silent installation feature of IBM® Installation Manager. You must 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 on the features that you want to install and other parameters, you can create different response files.
Note: To create a response file that automatically installs the content store database, you must add the encrypted password to the response file. To add the encrypted password, use the -encrypString option. See Recording a response file with Installation Manager for more information.

Procedure

  1. Create a response file.
  2. Navigate to the directory where Installation Manager is installed.
  3. Run the response file. Specify a log file. (if you want one).

    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:
