Installing WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment using silent installation refers to using a file to supply installation options without user interaction. To configure the installation, change the options in the response file before you issue the installation command. Silent installation mode does not accept interactive installation options. To specify non-default options during a silent installation, you must use the response file. To install silently, you must accept the license agreement in the agreement option.
Verify that the required disk space is available.
Do not use the default response file that is shipped on the product disk to install the product because the value of the silentInstallLicenseAcceptance option is false. Copy the file to change the value to true.
The file is in the WAS directory
on the product disc, the customized installation package (CIP), or the downloaded
installation image.
Installing the product with the response file creates an operational environment by default. The installer program:
The installation wizard and profile management record installation events in the following log files.
Log | Content | Indicators |
---|---|---|
app_server_root /logs/install/log.txt | Logs all installation events | |
app_server_root/logs/manageprofiles/profile_name_create.log | ||
user_data_root/profileRegistry/logs/manageprofiles/create.log | ||
app_server_root/logs/manageprofiles/profile_name_delete.log | ||
app_server_root/logs/install/ installconfig.log.gz | ||
app_server_root/logs/install/ installconfig.log |
Verify
or troubleshoot the installation if the app_server_root/logs/install/log.txt file or the app_server_root/logs/manageprofiles/pmt.log file
does not contain a record of a problem, but problems exist. If the profile_root directory
exists, the pmt.log file is in the logs/manageprofiles directory.
If the error happens early in the installation, look for the logs in the system
temporary area. The installation program copies the logs from the system temporary
area to the logs directory at the end of the installation.

If the
install completes indicating INSTCONFPARTIALSUCCESS, check the log files located
under the user_data_root/profileRegistry/logs/manageprofiles directory
for errors. Do not uninstall and attempt to reinstall. If you cannot determine
the problem, contact IBM Support.
