Silent installation of language packs on Windows, UNIX, or Linux systems

You can use the silent-mode installation method to install the language packs. In silent mode, the installation process obtains the installation settings from a predefined response file. It does not prompt you for any information.
First, make sure that you installed the product in the English language.

Procedure
Copy and paste the ITM_Agent_LP_silent.rsp response file template as shown in Response file example.

Change the following parameter settings:

NLS_PACKAGE_FOLDER

Folder where the National Language Support package (NLSPackage) files are located. Typically, the NLSPackage files are located in the nlspackage folder, for example: NLS_PACKAGE_FOLDER = //tmp//LP//nlspackage.

PROD_SELECTION_PKG

Name of the language pack to install. Several product components can be included in one language package. You might want to install only some of the available components in a language pack.

BASE_AGENT_FOUND_PKG_LIST

Agent for which you are installing language support. This value is usually the same as PROD_SELECTION_PKG.

LANG_SELECTION_LIST

Language you want to install.
Enter the command to install the language pack with a response file (silent installation):
For Windows systems:
lpinstaller.bat -f path_to_response_file
For UNIX or Linux systems:
lpinstaller.sh -c candle_home -f path_to_response_file
where candle_home is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring base directory.
