If u

(or)
In this
article I would like to explain How to install plugin 8.5 in silent mode using
response file on windows.
I divide
this article into 3 parts.
1) Installing installation manager (IM) silently by using the
installer on windows.
2)Create our own response file for installing plugin in silent mode
using Installation Manager(IM).
3)Install plugin in silent mode using our own response file.
1)
Installing installation
manager (IM) silently by using the installer on windows:
I
did one article on How to install installation manager (IM) silently by using
the installer on windows.
So,
check below link to complete first part.
I hope
u complete first part. Now we will move to next part.
2)Create
our own response file for installing plugin in silent mode using Installation
Manager(IM):
Note:
Silent installation cannot install packages that are contained different
disks.
ex:
here I use plugin 8.5.5.0 trail
version. It comes 2 different disks like
was.repo.8550.plg.ilan_part1.zip
was.repo.8550.plg.ilan_part2.zip
Then we unzip these 2 zip files. It
will be created 2 different folders like
was.repo.8550.plg.ilan_part1
was.repo.8550.plg.ilan_part2
Then we merge these 2 folders into
one folder. Just follow below steps to merge.
Just change one unique name for 2 diffrent folders. just like below name
was.repo.8550.plg.ilan_part1
(At the time changing of 2 nd folder as like first folder, . It may ask
"Confirm Folder Replace". Click on "Yes" button. Now u can
have only one folder in that location. Follow images carefully u will get more
idea about it.)
Now just follow command to create our own response file using
Installation Manager(IM) GUI mode
InstallationManager_installation location\eclipse>IBMIM.exe
-skipInstall "e:\temp" -record
"e:\temp\myresponsefile.xml"
It will open the Installation Manager. Now follow the steps
1) Add the repository to install plugin. Follow the
steps to add repository file.
File--------------->References------------------>Add
Repository--------------->click on browse.
select repository file from plugin version 8.5 trial
package folder.
2)After selecting repository file click on
"Install" on the wizard of Installation Manager(IM).
3) Check the check box of Web Server Plugins
for IBM WebSphere Application Server and click on "next".
4)Select the radio button to accept the license.
5)Specify the path for Share Resource Directory and click on
"Next".
6) Specify the path for where to install Plugins
and click on "Next".
7)Leave default and Click "Next".
8)Click on "Install".
9)It doesn't take time because it doesn't install plugins binary
files.
10)Exit from Installation
Manager(IM).
Now u
check our own response file is created.
Now we move
to next part, i.e. plugin installation in silent mode by using response file.
3)Install
Web Server Plugins for IBM WebSphere Application Server in silent mode using
our own response file:
Now use "imcl" command to install plugin in silent mode.
"imcl" command is under IM_root\eclipse\tools
check below ex command
for installing plugin
InstallationManager_installation location\eclipse\tools>imcl.exe
-acceptLicense -input e:\temp\myresponsefile.xml -log
e:\temp\pluginsilent.xml
Now plugin is installed in ur box. If u
find any errors, check log files.
