Creating a response file using Response File Generator db2rspgn (for Windows)

The response file generator utility db2rspgn is available on Windows platforms only.

The DB2 response file generator (db2rspgn) utility takes a snapshot of the DB2 product installation and configuration settings and saves this information to a response file and a configuration profile. This is an ideal method for creating a response file if any configuration involving DB2 has to take place after the installation. This is especially useful if configuration parameter settings as well as cataloging remote nodes and databases are required.
