Use the IM_response_install.bat and IM_run_silent_install.bat scripts
to install IBM® InfoSphere® Data Architect across
your enterprise.
Procedure
To install the product across the enterprise:
- Optional: Edit the IM_response_install.bat and IM_run_silent_install.bat scripts
to change the default parameters for:
- The location and file names for the generated log and response
files.
- The location to store data for the simulated installation.
- The location of IBM Installation
Manager, Version 1.5.1, if it
is not installed into the default installation directory. On Windows,
the default installation directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation
Manager.
- The location of the installation files for the product. For example,
if the installation files are on a DVD that is in a drive that is
mapped to D:, the location is D:\.
If you edit these parameters, you must also change them in
the corresponding script files for update or uninstallation if you
use the script files to do an update or uninstallation.
- Generate the silent installation response file.
- Open a command prompt and run the IM_response_install.bat script. For example, on Windows,
the default Installation Manager installation directory is Program
Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse. IBM Installation Manager starts.
- On the Select Packages page, look in the window title
to verify that recording is taking place, ensure that the packages
that you want to install are selected, and click Next.
- Complete the remaining pages of the wizard. Remember
the following things when you make your selections:
- Close the IBM Installation Manager window to save the
response file.
- On the base computer, run the silent installation with
the silent response file.
- Open a command prompt, change to the media root directory,
and run the IM_run_silent_install.bat script.
When the silent installation is complete, press any
key to return to the command prompt line. When you click All
Programs, short cuts appear for the product.
- Check the log file for errors. The installation
log file, log_install.xml, is in the IDA_SILENT_DATA_SAVE directory.
- Run the silent installation on all the other computers
in your enterprise on which you want to install IBM InfoSphere Data Architect.
- Copy the following folder and files to the target computers:
- IDA_SILENT_DATA_SAVE folder
- IDA_SILENT_FILES/response_install.xml file
- IM_run_silent_install.bat script
- Open a command prompt.
- Change the directory to the IBM Installation Manager installation directory.
- Run the IM_run_silent_install.bat script.
