Create a response file manually
To use the silent installation capabilities of Installation Manager, we create a response file that contains all the commands that Installation Manager runs.Typically, we create a response file by recording your actions as we install a package. However, we can also create or edit a response file manually. Some IBM products include response files with the installation files.
Response files contain two types of commands:
- Silent installation preference keys set preferences for Installation Manager that you set by clicking File > Preferences. On the OS X, the Preferences option is under the IBM Installation Manager menu.
- Response file commands emulates the actions of the Install, Update, Modify, Roll Back, and Uninstall wizards in Installation Manager.
What to do next
Optional: Create a storage file to store the credentials that are needed during installation to authenticate the repositories, proxies, and response files on protected servers. Storage files are only necessary when your installation accesses servers that require authentication. If the servers do not require authentication, then we do not need to create a storage file.
