Parameters for remote silent installations of WAS

When you install WAS to your iSeries server from a workstation 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 (SETUP). The silent installation mode does not accept interactive installation options. If you want to specify non-default installation options, use the response file.

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