Installing the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit on IBM i operating systems using response files

You can use Installation Manager to install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit on WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.5 using response files.

Before you begin

Before you install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit, ensure that your user profile has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.

  1. Use Installation Manager to connect to a repository containing up-to-date product files and update the installed WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5 product.
  2. Use Installation Manager to connect to a repository containing up-to-date Installation Manager files and update the installed Installation Manager.
  3. Obtain access to the necessary Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit files.
    There are three basic options for installing the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit.
    • Access the physical media, and use local installation

      You can access the repositories on the product media. Use Installation Manager to install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit from the product repositories on the media.

    • Download the files from the Passport Advantage® site, and use local installation
      Licensed customers with a Passport Advantage ID and password can download the necessary repositories from the Passport Advantage site.
      1. Download the repositories from the Passport Advantage site.
        Tip: See How to download WebSphere Application Server V8.5 from Passport Advantage Online for a list of the IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5 installation images downloadable from the IBM Passport Advantage Online website and other information.
      2. Use Installation Manager to install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit from the downloaded repositories.
    • Access the live repositories, and use web-based installation
      If you have a Passport Advantage ID and password, you can use Installation Manager to install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit from the web-based repositories. Use Installation Manager to install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit from the web-based repository located at
      http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.W2MTK.v11
      Note: This location does not contain a web page that you can access using a web browser. This is a remote web-based repository location that you must add to your Installation Manager preferences before the Installation Manager GUI can access the files in this repository to install the product.

      Whenever possible, you should use the remote web-based repositories so that you are accessing the most up-to-date installation files.

About this task

Using Installation Manager, you can work with response files to install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit.

Procedure

  1. Optional: If the repository requires a username and password, create a keyring file to access this repository.

    For more information on creating a keyring file for Installation Manager, read the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.

    Note:

    Starting in Installation Manager Version 1.6.2, the -keyring and -password options that were used to access credentials in a key ring file are deprecated. For Installation Manager Version 1.6.2 and later, use the -secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile options to store credentials in a credential storage file.

    In Version 1.7, the format of the secure storage file is revised, and is no longer compatible with versions of Installation Manager before version 1.7. Update Installation Manager to version 1.7 or higher and then re-create and replace any secure storage files that you created with earlier versions.

    There is no migration path from key ring files to storage files because of the differences in the file structures. You must create a storage file to replace a key ring file. For more information about using the -secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile options to store credentials in a credential storage file, see the Installation Manager Version 1.6 documentation.

  2. Sign on to the IBM® i system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
  3. On a CL command line, run the STRQSH command to start the Qshell command shell.
  4. Make sure that the umask is set to 022.
    To verify the umask setting, issue the following command:
    umask
    To set the umask setting to 022, issue the following command:
    umask 022
  5. Use a response file to install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit.
    Change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager, and install the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit using a response file. For example:
    ./imcl -acceptLicense 
      input $HOME/WASFiles/temp/install_response_file.xml 
      -log $HOME/WASFiles/temp/install_log.xml 
      -keyring $HOME/WASFiles/temp/im.keyring
    Notes:
    • The relevant terms and conditions, notices, and other information are provided in the license-agreement files in the lafiles or product_name/lafiles subdirectory of the installation image or repository for this product.
    • /QIBM/ProdData/InstallationManager is the default installation location for Installation Manager files on IBM i systems.
    • The program might write important post-installation instructions to standard output.

    Read the IBM Installation Manager Information Center for more information.

Example

The following is an example of a response file for installing the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit into the /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/Web20Mobile/V11 directory using a web-based repository located at http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.W2MTK.v11.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<agent-input clean='true' temporary='true'>
<server>
  <repository location='http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.W2MTK.v11'/>

<preference name='com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.searchForUpdates' value='true'/>
</agent-input>
Tips:
  • Make sure that the repository location points to the web-based or local repository. For example:
    <repository location='https://downloads.mycorp.com:8080/Web20Mobile_v11_repository'/>
  • The following line from the example specifies the default value of the profile location for IBM i:
    <data key='was.install.os400.profile.location' value='/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/Web20Mobile/V11'/>
    To override this default location, specify a different location.
  • The following line from the example specifies the default value of the shared resources directory for IBM i:
    <preference name='com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.eclipseCache' value='/QIBM/UserData/InstallationManager/IMShared'/>
    To override this default location, specify a different location.
    Note: There is only one shared resources directory for Installation Manager. If there has been an installation on the system in the past, it will use that shared resources directory and not the one specified in the response file.
  • To disable remote searches for updates in the response file, set the following preferences to false:
    • offering.service.repositories.areUsed

      Used for searching remote repositories for updates to installed offerings

    • com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.searchForUpdates

      Used for searching for updates to Installation Manager

    For example:
    <preference name='offering.service.repositories.areUsed' value='false'/>
    . . .
    <preference name='com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.searchForUpdates' value='false'/>
    You can find more details on silent preference keys in the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.
