Procedure
To update the product across the enterprise:
- Optional: Edit the IM_response_update.bat and IM_run_silent_update.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,
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:\.
Important: Edit these parameters only if you edited
them for the installation batch files. The parameter values must match
the values in the installation batch files.
