Installing a customized installation package (CIP) 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.
You can install a customized installation package (CIP) that includes a WebSphere Application Server product and one or more maintenance packages and other customizations. The Installation Factory must create a CIP before you can install the CIP. See IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere Application Server for more information about creating a customized installation package (CIP).
Use this procedure to perform a silent installation of the product.
A silent installation uses the installation wizard to install the product in silent mode, without the graphical user interface. Instead of displaying a wizard interface, the silent installation causes the installation program to read all of your responses from a file that you provide.
The installation wizard and the Profile Management tool record installation events in the following log files:
Log | Content | Indicators |
---|---|---|
app_server_root /logs/install/log.txt | Logs all installation events | |
user_data_root/profileRegistry/logs/manageprofiles/create.log | ||
app_server_root/logs/manageprofiles/profile_name_delete.log | ||
app_server_root/logs/install/ installconfig.log |
Ensure that you have at least 250 MB free in your temporary directory before attempting to install WebSphere Application Server.
Go to Installing a CIP to continue the installation and configuration of your system.
