Preparing the Sametime System Console installation response file on IBM i

Customize the ISC_i.rsp file to prepare for installing the IBM® Sametime® System Console on IBM i.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the server using a profile with *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
  2. Find the software packages you need to download.
  3. Download the packages.
  4. Extract all downloaded packages.
  5. Change to the /responseFiles directory in the location where you extracted the Sametime System Console package; for example:

    cd /SSC_package/SametimeSystemConsole/responseFiles

  6. Make a copy of the ISC_i.rsp file, using a name of your choosing. Store the copy in a location on the system that the installation program can access.
  7. Customize your copy of the ISC_i.rsp file with the settings appropriate for your specific installation, as described in Table 1.
    Table 1. Sametime System Console installation response file parameters and values
    Parameter Value 
    <agent-input temporary='true' clean=
'true' acceptLicense='true'>
    		 Change the value of acceptLicense to true to indicate you agree with the license terms. 
    <repository location='../SSC'/>
    		 The repository file location in the installation package. For example,
     <repository location=
'/MySametimeHF1package/
SametimeSystemConsole/
repository.config'/>
    		 
    <profile installLocation='/QIBM/UserData/
LOTUS/WebSphereSTSSC' id='IBM Sametime
 Server Platform'>
    		 The installLocation is the directory in which you are installing the Sametime System Console. Do not alter the id attribute or the installer will not work correctly. For example, 
    <profile installLocation='/QIBM/UserData/
LOTUS/SametimeIMSSC0408' id='IBM Sametime
 Server Platform SSC'>
    		 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.installtype' value
='Cell'/>
    		 The Sametime System Console must install using the cell profile. 
    <data key='user.installlocation' value
='/QIBM/UserData/LOTUS/WebSphereSTSSC'/>
    		 Same as installLocation. For example,
    <data key='user.installlocation' 
value='/QIBM/UserData/LOTUS/
SametimeIMSSC0408'/>
    		 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.existingWAS'
 value='TRUE'/>
    		 Set this value to 'TRUE' because you must install WebSphere® Network Deployment before you install Sametime System Console. 
    <data key='user.was.installlocation'
 value='/QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/
AppServer/v85'/>
    		 Specifies where the WebSphere Application Server is installed. 
    <data key='user.was.profilelocation
' value='/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/
AppServer/v85'/>
    		 The WebSphere Application Server profiles are stored in a profiles subdirectory of this location. 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.offering.
installlocation' value='/QIBM/
UserData/LOTUS/WebSphereSTSSC/
STSCServerCell'/>
    		 Sametime System Console profiles location.

    For example, 

    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.offering.
installlocation' value='
/QIBM/UserData/LOTUS/SametimeIMSSC0408/
STSCServerCell'/>
    		 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.cellname' value=
'HOSTSHORTNAMESSCCell'/>
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.nodename'
 value='HOSTSHORTNAMESSCNode'/>
    		 WebSphere Application Server cell and node name. 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.job' value=
'INSTALL'/>
    		 Specify 'INSTALL' for a fresh install; 'UPDATE' for an upgrade. 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.hostname'
 value='HOSTNAME'/>
    		 The host name is the fully qualified domain name; for example: ST_SSC.example.com 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.was.adminid'
 value='wasadmin'/>
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.was.password'
 value='zN39fpCc9SqIryGJM7+02A=='/>
    		 Use the generateEncodedPassword utility contained in the install kit to generate an encoded form of the password.

    For example, zN39fpCc9SqIryGJM7+02A==

    is equivalent to a password of wasadmin

    		 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.dbuser_ssc'
 value='db2admin'/>
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.dbpass_ssc'
 value='Mz0u5sV29wTMCJuZhVzHEw=='/>
    		 The dbuser is the user profile that creates the database schemas. You can use the generateEncodedPassword utility contained in the installation kit to generate an encoded form of the password.

    For example, Mz0u5sV29wTMCJuZhVzHEw==

    is equivalent to a password of db2admin

    		 
    <data key='user.com.ibm.lotus.sametime.
systemconsoleserver.dbhostname_ssc'
 value='DB2_SERVER'/>
    		 The fully qualified host name of the server on which the DB2® database is located; for example: DB24ST.example.com 
    <offering profile='IBM Sametime Server
 Platform' features='CEMain,nossc' id=
'com.ibm.lotus.sametime'.
systemconsoleserver'/>
    		 The value of the offering profile must be the same as the profile id (see row 3 in this table).
    Note: The offering profile, features, and id are also needed for uninstallation so ensure that the parameters in the uninstall rsp file are same as the values use in this installation rsp file.
    		 
    <preference value='/QIBM/Proddata/IBM
/SSPShared' name='com.ibm.cic.common.core.
preferences.eclipseCache'/>
    		 The location of the temporary cache where Installation Manager stores files during installation, the default is/ /QIBM/Proddata/IBM/SSPShared. If the default location does not work, it can be changed. For example, /QIBM/UserData/InstallationManager/IMShared
  8. Save and close the response file.
