Abstract

The IBM Installation Manager Response File Editor (RFE) toolkit is a command-line tool to create and edit scripted response files for multiple platforms.

Download Description

This toolkit creates a scripted response file that uses a domain specific language (DSL), written in Groovy. Using Groovy provides more flexibility for administrators to manage their environments. You can use the RFE toolkit to run these scripted response files with IBM Installation Manager to manage packages.

For information on how to use the tool, extract the files from the com.ibm.edp.rfe.console_1.1.0.zip file. Expand the doc folder and open the rfe_doc.pdf file.
