Installing the required components in silent mode

For Maximo® Asset Management 7.5.0.6 or later, the required components can be installed silently by running an executable file on the computer where Maximo Asset Management is installed. In a Maximo Asset Management 7.6 environment, you use Installation Manager to install the required components in silent mode.

About this task

The process automation engine executable file is called install.exe or install.bin. You reuse this file to install the Maximo Anywhere components.

Procedure

Maximo Asset Management version 7.5.0.6 or later:

From the Install directory of the Maximo Anywhere installation image, copy the Payload.zip folder to the directory where the install.exe or install.bin is stored. The default directory is C:\IBM\SMP\madt on Windows or /opt/IBM/SMP/madt on UNIX or Linux systems.
From the samples folder of the Maximo Anywhere installation image, copy the response_install_Anywhere_Enablement.xml file to a local directory.
Verify that the response file contains the Maximo Asset Management installation directory. The default value is C:\\IBM\\SMP on Windows or /opt/IBM/SMP on UNIX and Linux.

Change to the directory where the installation executable file is stored and run the following command:

Option	Description
On Windows	`install.exe -f response file path and name` For example, run the following command: `install.exe -f C:\temp\ response_install_Anywhere_Enablement.xml`
On UNIX or Linux	`./install.bin -f response file path and name` For example, run the following command: `./install.bin -f /temp/ response_install_Anywhere_Enablement.xml`

Maximo Asset Management version 7.6 or later:

Open the response file for editing and modify the values for your operating system. Ensure that the value for the repository location is correct.
Change directory to the tools directory where Installation Manager was installed and run the following command:
```
imcl -input responsefilename -log logfilename -acceptLicense 
```
Specify the path and name of the existing response file and log file that you want to use. The -acceptLicense parameter is used to accept the license automatically. For example, on Windows, run the following command:
```
imcl -input C:\tmp\response_install_Anywhere_Enablement.xml 
-log C:\tmp\silent_install_log.xml -acceptLicense
```
