WebSphere Commerce DeveloperIntroduced in Feature Pack 1

Installing feature packs silently on WebSphere Commerce Developer Version 7.0.0.0 or later

You can install a feature pack on the WebSphere Commerce toolkit by using a silent response file.

Procedure

  1. Uninstall any interim fixes that are installed and not part of the feature pack you are installing.
    See APARs fixed in WebSphere Commerce feature packs for a list of APARs fixed in each feature pack. Feature packs are cumulative, so the latest feature pack includes the fixes for APARs fixed in all lower-level feature packs.
    Note: Record all interim fixes that you uninstall. After you install the feature pack, you must contact support to obtain a new version of any APAR that was not included in it.
  2. Optional: In a text editor, open the response file you created in Creating a response file for feature pack installation.
  3. Optional: Modify the entries in the response file to match the installation options you want.
  4. On the command line, run the following command to start the silent installation process:
    • For Installation Manager 1.4.3 or higher:
      1. Go to the eclipse/tools subdirectory of Installation Manager
      2. Run IMCL.exe -input response_file_path.txt -log log_file_path -acceptLicense
      3. Add the -sP parameter to obtain more installation progress information
    • For Installation Manager 1.4.2 or lower:
      1. Go to the eclipse subdirectory of Installation Manager
      2. Run IBMIMc.exe -–launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input response_file_path.txt -log log_file_path
    where
    • response_file_path is the full path of the response file
    • log_file_path is the full path of log file, for example c:\logs\fep_install.log. The full path must exist.
  5. Optional: Review the Installation Manager log files for any important information or errors.
    The timestamped logs can be found in the following default locations:
    • drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\Installation Manager\logs
    • drive:\ProgramData\IBM\Installation Manager\logs
    Alternatively, you can view the logs in the Installation Manager interface under File > View Log
  6. Reinstall the interim fixes that you uninstalled in Step 1, making sure that you obtain the appropriate version for the newly-installed feature pack.
  7. Enable the features that you want. To enable features, see Enabling features.
