Performing a Dynamic Workload Console silent installation

Before you begin

You must install Installation Manager before you perform a silent installation of the Dynamic Workload Console package.

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

To perform a silent installation of the Dynamic Workload Console package, by using one of the response files listed in Dynamic Workload Console response file templates, perform the following steps:
  1. Copy the relevant response file to a local directory.
  2. Edit the Dynamic Workload Console section. For details about the response file 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.
  3. Save the file with your changes.
  4. Open a command-line prompt.
  5. 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

  6. 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 execution.
    Note: For more information about Installation Manager, see Installation Manager documentation.

After a successful installation, perform the configuration tasks as described in the Dynamic Workload Console User's Guide.
