Note:
|
When you are performing a silent installation |on UNIX zSeries® systems, you must first save the response |file in UTF 8 format.
|

To perform a silent installation using a response file template, |perform the following steps:

|
    |
  1. Copy the relevant response file to a local directory and edit |it to meet the needs of your environment. |
    |
    Note:
    |
    Be sure |to review the license agreement information included in the installation |media. To accept the terms of the license agreement, set the licenseAccepted parameter |to true in the response file you are using. This value is |required to complete the silent installation successfully.
    2. |
  2. Save the file with your changes.

  3. Enter the following command: |
    |
    UNIX and Linux operating systems:
    |
    |
    ./SETUP.bin -options local_dir/response_file.txt -silent
    |

    where response_file.txt is the name of the response |file to be used for installation. The SETUP.bin file is |located in the root directory of the relevant installation DVD.

    |
    |
    Windows operating |systems:
    |
    |
    SETUP.exe -options local_dir\response_file.txt -silent
    |

    where response_file.txt is the name of the response |file to be used for installation. The SETUP.exe file is |located in TWS\WINDOWS on 32-bit operating systems, and |in TWS\WINDOWS_X86_64 on 64-bit operating systems.
