Run Installation Manager with a response file in wizard mode
With a response file, you can install, update, modify, or uninstall software packages when using IBM Installation Manager in wizard mode.
You can run Installation Manager in silent mode, console mode or wizard mode. For IBM products that require configuration, the response file populates the fields shown in the Install wizard with the values from the response file. Users can either accept the default values or edit the values in the field during the installation process.
To start Installation Manager in wizard mode, enter this command on a command line: IBMIM input response_file -acceptLicense, where response file is the response file path and name.
- Start with version 1.4.4, -mode wizard is deprecated.
- Start with version 1.4.3, use -acceptLicense in the command.
- For versions 1.4.2 and earlier, use the command: IBMIM -mode wizard input response_file.
- On Windows, do not use the IBMIMc command with the -mode wizard option.
Use
Based on the commands in the response file, Installation Manager starts in one of these wizards: Install, Update, Modify, or Uninstall. Your response file can contain commands for only one of the Installation Manager wizards. For example, the response file can specify only one of these scenarios:
- server, preference, and install commands
- server, preference, and update commands
- server, preference, and modify commands
- server, preference, and uninstall commands
