Installing the Integration Bus component in silent mode

Install the Integration Bus component by using the installation wizard in silent mode.

Decide whether to install only the Integration Bus component in silent mode or IBM® Integration Bus components and prerequisite products.

The following list identifies the choices that you have for installing the Integration Bus component in silent mode, and the actions that you must take to complete your chosen task.

  1. Determine the installation wizard name for your operating system. See Installation wizard names.
  2. Locate the installation wizard in the root directory of the local or remote DVD, or the network drive.
  3. If you are installing on HP-Itanium, /usr/sbin/ must be included in the PATH statement.
  4. Decide if you want to specify the silent installation options by using a response file or by using the command line, then start the installation.
    • Using a response file:
      When specifying a silent installation, you can use a response file to define the required responses to the options provided by the installer.
      • You can record a response file of your own by using the following command:
        installer -r response_file_directory
        Where installer is the installation wizard name. Where response_file_directory is the directory path in which the response file is saved.
      • Alternatively, you can use the following example response files. These examples are also available on the runtime installation media under the folder sample-scripts

        In these examples, LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE is specified, which means that the license has been accepted. The v.r.m.f under USER_INSTALL_DIR= specifies the full version release of the Integration Bus component, for example 9.0.0.0. By specifying INSTALLER_UI=silent, the installer will run in silent mode and proceed to use the values specified in the response file.

        The flag External_License_Path can be used to point to the directory containing the license files if they are not located in the same directory of the installer, see Installing service on Linux and UNIX and Installing service on Windows for information about when this flag is applicable. Finally, the flag INSTALL_dotNET_FRAMEWORK in the Windows response file, controls whether the Microsoft .NET framework is installed.

        By using the example scripts, you are accepting the terms of the license agreement.

      When the response file is complete, start the installation by running the following command from within the directory in which you downloaded the Integration Bus component. If you start the installation from a directory other than the one in which the installation wizard exists, include the absolute or relative path with the command name.
      installer -f response_file_name
      Where installer is the installation wizard name. Where response_file_name is the name of your response file.

      For more information about how to use response files, how to create response files, and how to edit response files to define your requirements, see Using response files with the Integration Bus component.

    • Using the command line:

      When specifying a silent installation, you can use the command line to define the required responses to the options provided by the installer. Start the installation by running the following command from within the directory in which you downloaded the Integration Bus component.

      In this example, LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE is specified, which means that the license has been accepted. By using this command, you are accepting the terms of the license agreement.
      installer –i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR=
      installation_directory
      Where installer is the installation wizard name. Where installation_directory is your chosen installation directory or the default installation directory for your platform. For more information about the default installation directories for distributed operating systems, see Coexistence and migration.
  5. The installation wizard completes without any user interaction.
    Linux and UNIX only
    The IBM Integration ODBC Database Extender SupportPac automatically installs in silent mode when the installation of the Integration Bus component completes. For more information, see Installing the IBM Integration ODBC Database Extender.
