Install packages silently using Installation Manager

Overview

Use IBM Installation Manager in silent mode to install product packages from a command line.

1. On Windows, open a command prompt (cmd) using the Run as Administrator option.

2. Create a response file

3. Perform silent install of package
   cd eclipse\tools
   ./imcl input /path/to/respfile -log /path/to/logfile -acceptLicense

When the installation is complete, a status of 0 is returned. If the installation cannot be completed, a non-zero number is returned.

When the installer is run, it reads the response file and (optionally) writes to a log file to the directory specified. If you specified a log file and directory, the log file is empty when the operation is successful. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<result>
</result>

The log file contains an error element when the operation does not complete successfully.

A log file for Installation Manager is also available.
