  2. Stop the Db2 Text Search Services instance.
  3. Download and extract the appropriate installation package of Db2 Text Search Services Support where Db2TS services is installed.
  4. Provide the required environment variables:
    Windows: The default location of Db2HOME points to sqllib installation directory. For example, Db2HOME=C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB.

    Non-Windows: The default location of Db2HOME points to sqllib installation directory. For example, export export Db2HOME=/home/db2inst1/sqllib.

    The default location of IBMCMROOT points to db2cmv8 installation directory. For example, export export IBMCMROOT=/opt/IBM/db2cmv8/.

  5. Open a Command Prompt window and start the installer in silent mode by running install.exe -i SILENT -f <full_path_to_response_file> on Windows and install.exe -i SILENT -f <full_path_to_response_file> on non-Windows.
    Where, <full_path_to_response_file> is the full path to the response file, for example, C: \myResponse.txt.
    Note: If the customer plans to update the constructor.xml manually, and does not require a connection to Content Collector, then during Db2TS Services Support installation, enter a dummy value for the host name of the IBM Content Collector Server running the Content Collector web applications. In such a case, when navigating from the Web Application Server page of the installer, an error message will be thrown informing that connection to the Content Collector Web Service could not be established. This message can be ignored, and we can proceed when the dummy value is provided.
    Important: For non-Windows machines, provide full permissions recursively to the config/plugins directories so that the Db2TS Services Support installer can create and update the necessary files post installation.
