Install the Update Installer silently

You can install the Update Installer using a silent method which uses a response file; no graphical interface is required. The silent install method can be used to automate the installation.

Before installing the WebSphere Commerce Update Installer silently, prepare a file that contains the information required to complete the installation wizard. This file is called a response file because it contains responses to the prompts of the installation wizard.

  1. Start a command line session.

  2. Navigate to the updi_tempdir/UpdateInstaller directory and edit the following file:

    • responsefile.updiinstaller.txt

  3. Ensure that the following entries appear:

    • -OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true"

      This variable represents the license agreement. If this variable is not set to "true", the installation will fail.

    • -OPT installLocation="UPDI_installdir"

      where UPDI_installdir is the path to where you want to install the Update Installer.

  4. I5/OS|Start a QShell session on your iSeries machine.

  5. Issue the following command from the UPDI_tempdir/UpdateInstaller directory:

    • AIX|Linux|Solaris|./install -options responsefile.updiinstaller.txt -silent

    • I5/OS|install -options responsefile.updiinstaller.txt

    • Windows: install -options responsefile.updiinstaller.txt -silent

  6. This installs the Update Installer to the UPDI_installdir, where UPDI_installdir is the location that you have specified to install the Update Installer.

  7. Refer to the following log file:
