<!-- ##### Frequently Asked Questions #####################################
# The latest information about using Installation Manager is 
# located in the online Information Center. There we can find 
# information about the commands and attributes used in 
# silent installation response files.
# 
#     Installation Manager Information Center can be found at:
#     http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSDV2W/im_family_welcome.html
# 
# Question 1. How do I record a response file using Installation Manager?
# Answer 1. Start Installation Manager from the command line under the 
# eclipse subdirectory with the record parameter and it will generate a   
# response file containing actions it performed, repositories it used, and   
# its preferences settings. Optionally use the -skipInstall parameter if 
# you do not want the product to be installed to the machine. Specify a   
# new agentDataLocation location value when doing a new installation. Do  
# not use an existing agentDataLocation for an installation because it might  
# damage the installation data and prevent you from modifying, updating,  
# rolling back, or uninstalling the installed packages.
#
# Windows: IBMIM -record <responseFile> -skipInstall <agentDataLocation>
# Linux or UNIX: ./IBMIM -record <responseFile> -skipInstall <agentDataLocation>
# 
# For example:
#   Windows = IBMIM.exe -record c:\temp\responsefiles\WASv9.install.Win32.xml
#     -skipInstall c:\temp\skipInstall\WebSphere_Temp_Registry
#   Linux or UNIX = ./IBMIM -record /home/user/responsefiles/WASv9.install.RHEL64.xml
#     -skipInstall c:\temp\skipInstall\WebSphere_Temp_Registry
# 
# Question 2. How do I run Installation Manager silently using response file?
# Answer 2. Create a silent installation response file and run the following command 
# from the eclipse\tools subdirectory in the directory where you installed 
# Installation Manager:
#
#   Windows = imcl.exe -acceptLicense -showProgress 
#     input <response_file_path_and_name> -log <log_file_path_and_name> 
#   Linux, UNIX, IBM i and z/OS = ./imcl -acceptLicense -showProgress  
#     input <response_file_path_and_name> -log <log_file_path_and_name> 
# 
# For example: 
#   Windows = imcl.exe -acceptLicense -showProgress
#     input c:\temp\responsefile\WASv9.install.Win32.xml 
#   Linux, UNIX, IBM i and z/OS = ./imcl -acceptLicense -showProgress
#     input /home/user/responsefile/WASv9.install.RHEL64.xml
# 
# The -acceptLicense command must be included to indicate acceptance of all
#     license agreements of all offerings being installed, updated or modified.
# The -showProgress command shows progress when running in silent mode.
# Additional commands can be displayed by requesting help:  IBMIM -help

<!-- ##### Agent Input #############################################
# The clean and temporary attributes specify the repositories and other
# preferences Installation Manager uses and whether those settings
# should persist after the uninstall finishes.
# 
# Valid values for clean:
#      true = only use the repositories and other preferences that are 
#           specified in the response file.
#      false = use the repositories and other preferences that are 
#           specified in the response file and Installation Manager.
# 
# Valid values for temporary:
#      true = repositories and other preferences specified in the 
#           response file do not persist in Installation Manager.
#      false = repositories and other preferences specified in the 
#           response file persist in Installation Manager.

<!-- ##### Repositories ###################################################
# Repositories are locations that Installation Manager queries for 
# installable packages. Repositories can be local (on the machine
# with Installation Manager) or remote (on a corporate intranet or 
# hosted elsewhere on the internet). 
# 
# If the machine using this response file has access to the internet, 
# then include the IBM WebSphere Live Update Repositories in the list 
# of repository locations. 
# 
# If the machine using this response file cannot access the internet, 
# then comment out the IBM WebSphere Live Update Repositories and 
# specify the URL or UNC path to custom intranet repositories and 
# directory paths to local repositories to use.
# 
####################################################################### -->

<server>
    <!-- ##### IBM WebSphere Live Update Repositories ####################
     # These repositories contain IBM HTTP Server offerings, 
     # and updates for those offerings
     # 
     # To use the secure repository (https), you must have an IBM ID, 
     # which can be obtained by registering at: http://www.ibm.com/account
     # or your Passport Advantage account.	 
     # 
     # And, you must use a key ring file with your response file.

<!-- ##### Uninstall Packages ############################################
#
# Uninstall Command
# 
# Use the uninstall command to inform Installation Manager of the 
# installation packages to uninstall. 
# 
# The modify attribute is optional and can be paired with an install 
# command to add features or paired with an uninstall command to 
# remove commands. If omitted, the default value is set to false.
#    false = indicates not to modify an existing install by adding 
#            or removing features.
#    true = indicates to modify an existing install by adding or 
#           removing features.
# 
# The offering ID attribute is required because it specifies the 
# offering to be uninstalled. The example command in the following section contains the 
# offering ID for IBM HTTP Server. 
# 
# The version attribute is optional. If a version number is provided, 
# then the offering will be uninstalled at the version level specified 
# If the version attribute is not provided, then the default behavior is 
# to uninstall the latest version. The version number can be found in
# the repository.xml file in the repositories.
# For example, <offering ... version='9.0.0.20160617_2222'>.
# 
# The profile attribute is required and must match the package group
# name for the offering to be uninstalled.
# 
# The features attribute is optional. If there is no feature attribute,
# then all features are uninstalled. If features are specified, then
# only those features will be uninstalled. 
# Features must be comma delimited without spaces.
#
# Installation Manager supports uninstalling multiple offerings at once.
# Additional offerings can be included in the uninstall command,
# with each offering requiring its own offering ID, version, profile value, 
# and feature values.
# 
# Profile Command
# 
# A separate profile command must be included for each offering listed 
# in the install command. The profile command informs Installation
# Manager about offering specific properties or configuration values.
# 
# The installLocation specifies where the offering will be installed.
# If the response file is used to modify or update an existing 
# installation, then ensure the installLocation points to the 
# location where the offering was installed previously. 
# 
# The eclipseLocation data key should use the same directory path to 
# IBM HTTP Server as the installationLocation attribute.
# 
# Include data keys for product specific profile properties.

<!-- ##### Shared Data Location ###########################################
# Uncomment the preference for eclipseCache to set the shared data 
# location the first time you use Installation Manager to do an 
# installation.
# 
# Eclipse cache location can be obtained from the installed.xml file found in 
# Linux/Unix: /var/ibm/InstallationManager
# Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\Installation Manager
# from the following property:  
# <property name='cacheLocation' value='C:\Program Files\IBM\IMShared'/>
#
# Open the installed.xml file in a text editor because the style sheet 
# might hide this value if opened in a web browser.
#
# After the shared data location is set, it cannot be changed
# using a response file or the graphical wizard.
# 
# Ensure that the shared data location is a location that can be written 
# to by all user accounts that are expected to use Installation Manager.
#
# By default, Installation Manager saves downloaded artifacts to 
# the shared data location. This serves two purposes. 
# 
# First, if the same product is installed a more than once to the machine, 
# then the files in the shared data location will be used rather than 
# downloading them again. 
#
# Second, during the rollback process, the saved artifacts are used. 
# Otherwise, if the artifacts are not saved or are removed, then 
# Installation Manager must have to access the repositories used to 
# install the previous versions.
# 
# Valid values for preserveDownloadedArtifacts:
#     true = store downloaded artifacts in the shared data location
#     false = remove downloaded artifacts from the shared data location

<!-- ##### Preferences Settings ###########################################
# Additional preferences for Installation Manager can be specified. 
# These preference correspond to those that are located in the graphical
# interface under File / Preferences. 
# 
# If a preference command is omitted from or commented out of the response 
# file, then Installation Manager uses the preference value that was 
# previously set or the default value for the preference. 
# 
# Preference settings might be added or deprecated in new versions of
# Installation Manager. Consult the online Installation Manager
# documentation for the latest set of preferences and 
# descriptions about how to use them.
