Installing silently using the command line
You can install IBM® Business Process Manager silently using the command line. With this method, you need to run only one command to perform the installation.
Before you begin
If you do not have the prerequisite base products that are necessary for IBM Business Process Manager Express installation, you must install the base
products as part of the silent installation. The required base products are:
- IBM Installation Manager
- WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment, including the ejbdeploy and thinclient features.
About this task
During the silent
installation, the following tasks are peformed:
- Installation Manager is installed or updated to the appropriate level.
- The required base products and IBM Business Process Manager Express are installed.
Only one IBM Installation Manager is required to install multiple instances of IBM Business Process Manager.
Procedure
Results
Installation Manager installs the list of products and writes a log file to the directory that you specified. The log file is empty if there are no errors or warnings.
