RESPONSEFILE for command-line installation

RESPONSEFILE for command-line installation

When you install WebSphere Application Server to your iSeries server using the silent mode, you refer to a response file that specifies a silent install. To configure the installation, change the options in this file before you enter the installation command. The silent installation mode does not accept interactive installation options. If you want to specify non-default installation options, use the response file.

Note: You cannot use the default response file that is shipped on the product CD-ROM to install the product, because the value of the silentInstallLicenseAcceptance bean is "false". You must make a copy of the file and change the value to "true".

Here is the format of the response file that is shipped on the CD-ROM:

# InstallShield Options File #
# Wizard name: Install # Wizard source: setup.jar # Created on: Wed Apr 14 14:19:22 EDT 2004
# Created by: InstallShield Options File Generator #
# This file contains values that were specified during a recent execution of # Install. It can be used to configure Install with the options specified below # when the wizard is run with the "-options" command line option. Read each # setting's documentation for information on how to change its value.
# 
# 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, use the following command line arguments when running the wizard:
# 
#    -options "CD_ROOT/WAS/responsefile"
