Response files for Message Broker installation/Uninstallation
===========================================================
f you want to install or uninstall in silent mode and you want to use values other than the defaults, you can pass a response file to the program. A response file is a text file that contains options that define the choices that the wizard makes.
using Response Files, you can:
* Specify a non-default installation location
* Choose a custom installation (typical is the default) (runtime components only)
* Choose which components to install (runtime components only)
* Specify if the program is to check for prerequisite software (runtime components only)
Sample response files
Sample response files are supplied with WebSphere Message Broker. Use these response files when install/uninstalling the product. The sample response file includes detailed information about the options that you can change, and the values you must enter to change them. You can tailor this file to your requirements. The sample response files are located in the sample_scripts directory of root directory.
Generating response files
Use the following command to generate a template installation response file without installation being performed:
installer -options-template responsefile
The generated template response file contains full instructions on how to edit it to specify your required options. Installation is not performed. You can edit the file to change the options to define the operation that you want to be performed.
Recording a response file
Use the following command to record a response file during installation:
installer -options-record responsefile
The installation wizard starts in graphical mode, and requires your input as it progresses. Your responses are recorded during installation. When installation is complete, the response file contains all the choices you have made during installation.
If you want to record a response file during a console mode installation, use the following command:
installer -options-record responsefile -console
Calling response files in commands
To run a program specifying the silent options and the response file that you want to use, use the following command:
installer -options responsefile -silent
The program runs without interaction according to the options selected when you recorded the response file.
Note:
Substitute the installer with the appropriate name
