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:
- Installation Manager
- WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
The silent installation performs the following tasks:
- Installs Installation Manager if it is not already installed or updates it to the appropriate level if it is installed.
- Installs the required base products and IBM BPM Advanced.
Only one IBM Installation Manager is required to install multiple instances of IBM BPM.
Procedure
- 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- Adding -acceptLicense to the command line means that you accept all licenses.
- Run the following command:
cd extract_directory/IM/tools/
imcl install list_of_product_IDs -acceptLicense -installationDirectory location -repositories repository -showVerboseProgress -log logName.logwhere:
- list_of_product_IDs is a list of the IDs for the products and features that you want to install.
You must include the required features. The syntax is productID, feature, feature, with multiple products separated by spaces.
Product Product ID Feature and Description IBM BPM Advanced com.ibm.bpm.ADV.V80
bpmAdv.nonprod Test, staging, or development use. bpmAdv.prod Production use. wps.client.feature Required. Run client applications that interact with a IBM BPM Advanced Process Server in the same cell. wps.server.feature Required. Full installation of IBM BPM Advanced Process Server, which includes the client code and the server code. WAS ND com.ibm.websphere.ND.v80
core.feature Required. WAS core content. ejbdeploy Pre-EJB 3.0 modules. thinclient Stand-alone thin clients and resource adapters. embeddablecontainer Embeddable EJB container. samples Sample applications feature. com.ibm.sdk.6_32bit 32-bit SDK. com.ibm.sdk.6_64bit 64-bit SDK. Can only be selected on a 64-bit system.
Installation Manager com.ibm.cic.agent
agent_core Installation Manager core content. agent_jre Installation Manager JRE.
- location is the path to the directory where you want to install the products.
- repository is the path to the repository where you have extracted the files, one of the following directories:
extract_directory/repository/repos_32bit extract_directory/repository/repos_64bitFor more than one repository, separate the repository locations with commas.
- key=value is a list of the keys and values you want to pass to the installation, separated by commas. Do not put spaces between the commas. Create encrypted passwords using the IBM Installation Manager.
Keys Key Description user.db2.use.existing If you are using an existing DB2 setup, add the following line exactly: user.db2.use.existing=trueIf DB2 must be installed, specify the value false.
user.db2.port Port for the DB2 database. The default value is 50000. - logName is the name of the log file to record messages and results.
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.
