Installing silently using the command line
You can install IBM® Business Process Manager silently using the command line. With this method, you only need to run one command to perform the installation.
Before you begin
If you do
not have the prerequisite base products necessary for IBM Business Process Manager Advanced installation,
you must install them as part of the silent installation. The required
base products are:
- Installation Manager
- WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment, including the ejbdeploy and thinclient features.
If you are installing from images downloaded
from Passport Advantage, ensure that you have downloaded all required
images (three disk images for Linux systems on Intel; two disk images
for other Linux systems), and extracted them to the same directory.
Restriction: Extract the installation files to a directory that
does not contain spaces or special characters. The launchpad cannot
be started from a directory path that contains spaces or special characters.
About this task
The silent installation
performs the following tasks:
- Installs Installation Manager if it is not already installed or updates it to the appropriate level if it is installed.
- Installs the required base products and IBM Business Process Manager Advanced.
Only one IBM Installation Manager is required to install multiple instances of IBM Business Process Manager.
Procedure
Results
Installation Manager installs the list of products and writes a log file to the directory that you specified. The log file is empty if there are no errors or warnings.
Example
The following example installs IBM Business Process Manager Advanced, WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment, and
DB2 Express on Linux.

What to do next
After you install IBM BPM, you
must configure the product by creating profiles, setting up database
tables, and configuring the network deployment environment. To do
these configuration tasks in one step, use the BPMConfig command.
Alternatively, you can do each configuration step separately using
tools such as Profile Management Tool and the Deployment Environment
wizard.
Important: If you are migrating business data and
applications from a previous version, use the configuration instructions
in the Migrating to IBM Business
Process Manager section.
