Use the default response file to specify silent installation
parameters for your environment.
Before you begin
Encrypt your administrator passwords. For more information about encrypting passwords, see
the Creating encrypted passwords for a response file
topic.
About this task
Silent installation uses the parameters in a response
file to install the same IBM® Connections
profile on multiple computers.
If you are silently installing IBM Connections as a non-root user
in an AIX® or Linux™ environment, you must specify that parameter
in the silent-install.ini file.
Procedure
- Navigate to the connections_root directory
and open the LC.rsp response file.
- Specify your installation parameters. For more information,
see the Default response file topic.
- Add the encrypted passwords to the relevant elements of
the response file. The following example shows the elements for the
Activities passwords:
<data key='user.activities.adminuser.password' value='encrypted_password'/>
<data key='user.activities.dbUserPassword value='encrypted_password'/>
where encrypted_password is
the password after you encrypted it.
- Change the default WebSphere® Application
Server administrator name from wasadmin if your
administrator name is different.
- Save your changes.
- If you are performing the silent installation as a non-root
user on AIX or Linux systems, complete the following steps:
- Open the silent-install.ini file
for editing from the following location:
- AIX: IBM_Connections_set-up/IBM_Connections_install/IM/aix/silent-install.ini
- Linux: IBM_Connections_set-up/IBM_Connections_install/IM/linux/silent-install.ini
- Linux on System z®: IBM_Connections_set-up/IBM_Connections_install_s390/IM/zlinux/silent-install.ini
where IBM_Connections_set-up is the IBM Connections set-up directory
or installation media.
- In the second line of the file, change admin to nonadmin.
- Save and close the file.
