Install IBM BPM Advanced Process Server silently using the command line on AIX

With this method, you only need to run one command to perform the installation.

If you do not have the prerequisite base products necessary for IBM BPM Advanced installation, install them as part of the silent installation. The required base products are:

The silent installation performs the following tasks:

Only one IBM Installation Manager is required to install multiple instances of IBM BPM.


Procedure

  1. Optional: To generate encrypted passwords using IBM Installation Manager to securely connect to DB2 and the administrative console.
     cd extract_directory/IM/tools/
    imutilsc -silent -nosplash encryptString password_to_encrypt

  2. Adding -acceptLicense to the command line means that you accept all licenses.

  3. Run the following command:

     cd extract_directory/IM/tools/
    imcl install list_of_product_IDs -acceptLicense -installationDirectory location -repositories repository -showVerboseProgress -log logName.log

where:

Running this command installs the product with the default features.


Results

Installation Manager installs the list of products and writes a log file to the directory that you specified. The log file is empty if there are no errors or warnings.


Example

The following example installs IBM BPM Advanced and WebSphere Application Server ND on AIX.

 imcl install com.ibm.bpm.ADV.V80,bpmAdv.prod,wps.client.feature,wps.server.feature \
              com.ibm.websphere.ND.v80,core.feature,ejbdeploy,thinclient,embeddablecontainer,samples,com.ibm.sdk.6_32bit \
              -acceptLicense \
              -installationDirectory /usr/IBM/BPM80 \
              -repositories /usr/tmp/BPM/repository \
              -showVerboseProgress \
              -log silentinstall.log


What to do next

Install the mandatory interim fix for APAR JR44669 before you configure and load data into the databases. Otherwise, future interim fixes, fix packs, or refresh packs might not install properly. See Required interim fix for APAR JR44669. To download the fix, see Required interim fixes for IBM BPM.

Then, define a stand-alone server or dmgr profile in pmt.sh or using manageprofiles.sh. Only profiles created with pmt.sh or manageprofiles can be used in production.
