Follow these instructions to perform a response file installation
of a fix pack. A response file installation might also be referred
to as a silent installation or an unattended installation. The setup command
is used to install the fix pack.
Before you begin
- Ensure that you meet all of the necessary tasks before
installing a fix pack. Refer to Before installing a fix pack.
- Ensure that you have the appropriate installation user accounts.
In general, the user account must belong to the Administrators group
on the machine where you will perform the installation.
Procedure
To install a fix pack using a response file:
- Change to the folder where the unzipped files are located.
The setup command is located under the
folder labelled with the abbreviated product name. For example, DB2 Enterprise Server Edition is
under ESE.
- Ensure that all of the fix pack installation images were
uncompressed to subdirectories under the same parent directory.
If you have more than one DB2 database
product installed, the DB2 Setup wizard detects
the other installed products. The installation fails if all of the
appropriate DB2 database products'
uncompressed fix pack images are not in subdirectories under the same
parent directory.
- Install the fix pack using the setup command
with the response file (-u) option. For
example, enter:
setup -u c:\db2fixpk.rsp -t c:\db2fixpk.trc -l c:\db2fixpk.log
where db2fixpk.rsp is
the response file name and -t and -l are
optional parameters that specify a trace file and a log file, respectively.
Sample response files can be found in the product-abbreviation\db2\Windows\samples directory
in the fix pack installation image. For example, ESE\db2\windows\samples.
What to do next
To complete the installation, perform the necessary post-installation
tasks for fix packs. Refer to
Post-installation tasks for fix packs (Windows).
