IIP installation response file

You can install an IIP using a response file to supply installation options during silent or GUI installation. You can also supply certain parameters on the command line in addition to those in your response file. To configure the installation, change the options in the response file before you issue the install command.

Location of the response file

The sample options response file is named responsefile.iip.installer.sample.txt and is located in the IIP_home/iip directory.

Using the response file

Installing with a response file

  1. Edit the responsefile.iip.installer.sample.txt file to customize the values for your installation. See IIP installation options for the available installation command line parameters and their description.
  2. Save the file as install.txt, for example.
  3. Start the installation. For example:
    install -iipResponseFile=IIP_home/iip/install.txt
  4. After the installation, examine the logs for success:

Example of the default IIP response file

Edit the version of the file that was generated during IIP creation in the <IIP_HOME>/iip directory. The following example is not guaranteed to be an accurate representation of the file that ships with the product.

# IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere Application Server V6.1 IIP installation options file

# This lets the options file author specify IIP options without having to specify 
# them on the command line.  To use this options file, uncomment and modify the 
# parameters defined within, and rename the file to install.txt, for example.
#
# Use the following command to install the IIP:
# 
#    install -iipResponseFile=<IIP_HOME>/install.txt
#
# Enclose all values that contain spaces within a single pair of single quotation 
# marks. Otherwise, no quotation marks are required. If quotation marks are used
# when a value does not include spaces, the installation fails.
