# This is the silent install response file for installing maintenance packages
# using the update installer.
# 
# A common use of an options file is to run the wizard in silent mode. This lets
# the options file author specify wizard settings without having to run the
# wizard in graphical or console mode. To use this options file for silent mode
# execution, *uncomment* and modify the parameters defined within.
#
# Use the following command line when running the wizard from the update 
# installer directory:
# 
#    update -options responsefiles/install.txt -silent
#
# Please enclose all values within a single pair of double quotes.

# This section describes how to apply a maintenance package using the full 
# filename specifications to be installed. 
# There are three ways you can specify installing a maintenance package.  
# They are the following:
# (Use the examples below and edit where appropriate.)
#
# 1. Specify a single maintenance package full filename to be installed.
# 
#    For example:
#    -W maintenance.package="C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\UpdateInstaller\maintenance\PQ20029.pak"
#
# 2. Specify a multiple maintenance package full filename to be installed. 
#    -  Use a semicolon to separate the full filename specifications.
#    -  Update Installer will install the latest applicable maintenance in the order listed. 
#
#    For example:  
#    -W maintenance.package="C:\maintenance\PQ20029.pak;C:\maintenance\PK31008.pak;D:\6.1.0-WS-WAS-WinX32-FP0000001.pak" 
#
# 3. Specify a full folder name that contains the maintenance packages.
#    Update Installer will install the latest applicable maintenance in the order listed in the folder.
#
#    For example:
#    -W maintenance.package="D:\UpdateInstaller\maintenance"
#
# Notes: If no package is specified, maintenance packages from the default folder (such as, UpdateInstaller_HOME/maintenance )
#        will be installed.
#
-W maintenance.package="D:\UpdateInstaller\maintenance\6.1.0-WS-WAS-WinX32-FP0000001.pak"

# 
# Prerequisite Checking
# 
# The update installer checks the system for prerequisites by default.
# 
# Uncomment the following option to notify the installer to continue with
# the update and log the warnings even though prerequisite checking
# failed.
# 
#-OPT disableNonBlockingPrereqChecking="true"

#
# Used to input the product install location that will be updated.
#
# ie. -W product.location="C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer"
#
#
 WAS install location should always been specified, and it should
# always be the full path.
#
-W product.location="D:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer"

#
# Do not edit these values.
#

-W update.type="install"
