HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Performing a Dynamic Workload Console and its prerequisites silent installation

Before you begin

You must install Installation Manager before you perform a silent installation of the Dynamic Workload Console package and its prerequisites. Verify that your system meets the product system requirements by running a check: Checking system prerequisites for the Dynamic Workload Console.

If you decided to silently install the Dynamic Workload Console as non-root user, also the Installation Manager must be installed by the same non-root user.

For detailed information about how to install Installation Manager, see the Installation Manager documentation.

About this task

You can silently install the Dynamic Workload Console package at the same time as its prerequisites packages, by using a global response file located in the \response_files\ directory of the installation media. For a list of response files, see Table 1.

The silent installation process:

Assigns the correct order to the package installation.
Manages the prerequisites package installation.

The response file contains one section for each prerequisite package that you have to install and one section related to the Dynamic Workload Console package installation.

Perform the following steps:

Copy the response file to a local directory.
Edit the following sections:
Dynamic Workload Console prerequisites packages sections:

For more information about how to type in this section see the response file properties description provided as commented text or see the prerequisites product documentation.

Dynamic Workload Console section:

For more information about how to complete the Dynamic Workload Console section properties, see The Dynamic Workload Console response file properties.

Note: Ensure that all the passwords that you specify in the response file are encrypted as described in Encrypting user passwords for response files.
Save the file with your changes.
Open a command-line prompt.
Go to the Installation Manager tools directory.
The default tools directory is:
On Windows operating systems

C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\tools

On UNIX and Linux operating systems

If you are installing as the root user
/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools

If you are installing as a non-root user
/home/<non-root-user>/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
Run the following command:
On Windows operating systems:
```
imcl.exe input <local_dir>\response_file.xml 
-log <local_dir>\log_file.xml 
-acceptLicense
```
On UNIX and Linux operating systems:
```
./imcl input /<local_dir>/response_file.xml 
-log /<local_dir>/log_file.xml 
-acceptLicense
```
Where:
- The response_file.xml is the name of the response file to be used for installation.
- The log_file is the name of the log file that records the result of the silent installation.
Note: For more information about Installation Manager silent installation command and Installation Manager silent log files, see the Installation Manager information center.

Table 1 lists the response files and the types of installation that each one performs by platform:
