Customizing the silent mode response file

Use this procedure to customize your silent mode installation response file.

1. Open your response file.
2. Specify the home and shared resource directories.
   1. To specify the MDM_INSTALL_HOME directory, add these lines to your response file:

      <profile id='IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management' installLocation='/usr/IBM/MDM/H087/mdm'/>
      <data key='eclipseLocation' value='/usr/IBM/MDM/H087/mdm'/>
      

      Where usr/IBM/MDM/H087/mdm is the installation home directory.

   2. To specify the Installation Manager Shared Resource directory.

      <preference name='com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.eclipseCache' value='/usr/IBM/MDM/H087/
      Shared'/>
      

      Where usr/IBM/MDM/H087/Shared is the Installation Manager Shared Resource directory.

3. Specify the InfoSphere® MDM offering version and the features that you want to install by adding this line:

   <offering id='com.ibm.mdm.advanced' version='<offering_version>' profile='IBM InfoSphere Master Data 
   Management' features='com.ibm.mdm.install.iu.localization.feature,com.ibm.im.mdm.db.feature,
   com.ibm.im.mdm.app.feature' installFixes='none'/>

   Where <offering_version> is the version number of InfoSphere MDM.

   You can find the version number by looking in your installation media folder (download_path/MDM/disk1/) and locating the diskTag.inf file. Open disk1/diskTag.inf and copy the value of the diskSetOfferingVersion value to use as your replacement for the <offering_version> placeholder.

4. Specify the feature to install during the single IBM® Installation Manager session by adding this line:

   <offering id='com.ibm.mdm.advanced' version='<offering_version>' profile='IBM InfoSphere Master Data 
   Management' features='com.ibm.mdm.install.iu.localization.feature,com.ibm.im.mdm.db.
   feature, com.ibm.im.mdm.app.feature' installFixes='none'>
   

   Where

   features='com.ibm.mdm.install.iu.localization.feature,com.ibm.im.mdm.db.feature,com.ibm.im.mdm.app.
   feature'

   is the specific feature to install. For guidance, see Examples for specifying features for a silent installation.

   com.ibm.mdm.install.iu.localization.feature must always be included in a feature list. This feature is an internal feature that provides multi-language support for the installer logging system.

5. Specify your database parameters. For guidance, use the applicable database parameters topic for your database. The topics are listed in the related reference links.
   The following parameters must not be modified in your response file:

   <data key='user.L2.db.vertype,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='DB2UDBNT_V82_1'/>
   <data key='user.L2.mdm.mad.type.db2,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='DB2'/>
   <data key='user.L2.mdm.mad.type.db2z,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='DB2Z'/
   >
   <data key='user.L2.mdm.mad.type.oracle,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='ORACLE'/> 

6. Specify your WebSphere® Application Server parameters. For guidance, use the application server parameters topic that is listed at the end of this procedure.
7. Specify your messaging server parameters:
   1. Specify the type of messaging server:
      • If installing with WebSphere Application Server default messaging, specify:

        <data key='user.L2.messaging.type,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='WEM'/>

      • If installing with IBM WebSphere Message Queue, specify:

        <data key='user.L2.messaging.type,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='WMQ'/>

   2. If WebSphere MQ is on the same machine where Installation Manager is running the silent installation of InfoSphere MDM, or to allow the installation application to create message queues and topics:

      <data key='user.config.messaging.server,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='true'/>

   3. If WebSphere MQ is on a remote machine or to disable the installation application from creating message queues and topics:

      <data key='user.config.messaging.server,com.ibm.mdm.advanced' value='false'/>

      Tip: Before running a silent installation with the message queue creation disabled (value='false'), ensure that you have already created the message queues and topics ahead of time. You can manually create these queues and topics by running the custSetupMQServer.mqsc script.
8. Specify the search and matching engine that this installation of InfoSphere MDM will use:
   • For the Probabilistic Matching Engine:

     <data key="user.L2.engine.type,com.ibm.mdm.advanced" value="PME"/>

   • For the Deterministic Matching Engine (MDM Classic Matching Engine):

     <data key="user.L2.engine.type,com.ibm.mdm.advanced" value="DME"/>
