Maximo Archiving with InfoSphere Optim Data Growth Solution, Version 7.6

Installing silently

You can install Maximo Archiving Adapter with InfoSphere Optim Data Growth Solution integration component silently from the command line to perform an unattended installation based on predefined settings.

Before you begin

You must complete a successful installation of Maximo Archiving Adapter with InfoSphere Optim Data Growth Solution to produce a response file that can be used to silently install Maximo Archiving Adapter with InfoSphere Optim Data Growth Solution. You can create a silent installation response file by opening a command prompt, setting the record environment variable, and then starting the Maximo Archiving Adapter with InfoSphere Optim Data Growth Solution installation program through the Maximo Archiving Adapter with InfoSphere Optim Data Growth Solution launchpad. The response file is generated in the home directory of the user that started the program.

Alternatively, you can use one of the sample response files that are provided on the product media and modify the sample file.

If the response file was created on a different system, ensure that all values that are recorded in the response file are valid for the target system. Ensure that the path values that were defined when the response file was created are still valid for the target system. For example, you might need to update the repository location parameter values to indicate the correct path for product and middleware installation images.

If you are installing the product in a directory different from the path used during creation of the response file, update the installLocation parameter value. If you update the value for the installLocation parameter, you must also provide a new value for the profile id parameter.

Procedure

  1. Copy the response file and the Maximo Archiving Adapter with InfoSphere Optim Data Growth Solution files to the Maximo® Asset Management administrative workstation.
  2. Open a command prompt and change directory to the location of the Installation Manager program that is appropriate for your operating system.
    Option Description
    Windows cd C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\tools
    Linux and UNIX cd /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/
  3. Silently start the Installation Manager program. 
    imcl -input responsefilename
-log logfilename -acceptLicense
    The -input parameter determines the response file to use, for example, /SI/tpaeInstallerRsp20130716105258.xml. The -log parameter determines where log files are written, for example, /tmp/linuxDB2WASMAM_Log.xml. You must include the full path when you specify the response and log files.
  4. After Maximo Archiving Adapter with InfoSphere Optim Data Growth Solution is installed, update Maximo Asset Management configuration and then rebuild and redeploy the application EAR file from the command line.
