Installing or updating with a response file (V5.2.6 or later)
You can use the response files that are recorded when installing or updating Sterling B2B Integrator. You can also use the sample response files that are provided with Sterling B2B Integrator V5.2.6.
Ensure that you have the appropriate response file to use for installing or updating (applying fix pack or interim fix) Sterling B2B Integrator and the databases installed and configured.
Ensure that IBM® Installation Manager is installed. If the userinstc command is run without IBM Installation Manager installed, it does not install or update Sterling B2B Integrator, but installs IBM Installation Manager instead.
A response file is an XML file with configuration information that can be used for installing or updating Sterling B2B Integrator. Most of the configuration details and other information that is required for installing and updating Sterling B2B Integrator nodes are recorded in the response file. However, you must modify values for some parameters based on whether you are installing or updating initial or additional nodes or clustered and non-clustered environments. For more information about parameters that must be modified, see Sample response files (V5.2.6 or later).
Silent installations minimize the requirement to reenter the same information or potential errors while keying in the configuration information. Nevertheless, you must change values of some parameters because the server and the environment where you install the additional nodes might differ.
Upgrade Compatibility (v5.2.6.5 or later)
The system displays an alert message on the console. For more information on the supported upgrade paths, see the Upgrade Compatibility matrix.
When you upgrade to a higher version from a lower version, you cannot use that instance as all the defect fixes from the lower version are not available in the higher version.
For an in-place upgrade, the system displays an alert message on the console and prompts you to proceed with or cancel the installation.
