Hi.
Using Win XP, I would like to use the silent installation for DB2
Runtime Client 8.2.
I read a lot about it in the DB2 docs, but didn't get it to work.
My installation choices are trivial. Something like:
Next, Next, Yes (Accept..), Next, Next..
Does anyone have a working sample for me? (batch file + response file)
Batch file:
REM assumes that the runtime client is net use'd on q:
REM and that it has been copied into the db2\runtimeclient directory
REM and that the response file is in the same directory.
q:
cd db2\runtimeclient
setup -r yourresponsefile.rsp
As for the response file, you should look in the db2\windows\samples
directory for db2rtcl.rsp. For the most part, it should be usable as-is.
There will be some critical things to change, e.g., you need to set
LICENCE=ACCEPT to signify that you've read the license and agreed to it.
Most of the sample response file should be pretty self-explanatory, so I'd
love to hear any questions you have about it. Also, what response file did
you try?
Finally, there should be a whitepaper on mass deployment on Windows that may
help you out. I think this is it:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/...deployment.pdf
It should answer a lot of response file questions, whether you're using
response file install to roll out to 1, 5, 10, 100, or 10,000 machines.
The unix/linux version of this whitepaper is:
