Example 2-5 Format of a response file | IBM DB2 specs

The response file installation is supported on UNIX, Linux, and Windows. The command to start a response file deployment is a command of the DB2 Setup wizard with different command line options. It is db2setup on UNIX/Linux system and setup on Windows. When using the DB2 Setup wizard to generate the response file:

The response file can be specified by choosing options in the step, Select the installation action.

The response file generated captures the configuration of the installation done by the DB2 Setup wizard. This is a recommended method to make a response file.

The response file is generated only when the installation has completed successfully. It is not generated if the installation is cancelled, or if the installation fails with an error.

On Windows platform, there is a tool called the response file generator (db2rspgn), which can be used to generate a response file as well as database profiles. We recommend using this tool, especially when you have a more complex configuration.

A response file consists of many keyword value pairs. Each pair defines an component to be installed, a feature to be enabled, or a setting to be configured. Example 2-5shows the format of a response file.

Example 2-5 Format of a response file

LIC_AGREEMENT		= ACCEPT
PROD	=	ENTERPRISE_SERVER_EDITION
FILE	=	/opt/ibm/db2/V9.5
INSTALL_TYPE		= CUSTOM
......

When using the response file installation, take note of these considerations:

There are changes in the keywords between various DB2 versions. New mandatory keywords are introduced in DB2 9 that DB2 V8 does not recognize. Therefore, the response files created in DB2 V8 should not be used in DB2 9 or 9.5, vice versa.

On UNIX and Linux, a response file created for a root installation cannot be used for a non-root installation. There are response file keywords valid for root installation only. Refer to the following URL for more details:
