50 DB2 Deployment Guide
Creating a response file using the DB2 Setup wizard
You can create a response file using the DB2 Setup wizard. This is a
recommended method to create a response file.
To deploy DB2 and generate a response file at the same time using the DB2
Setup wizard, select the option, Install DB2 Enterprise Server Edition Version
9.5 on this computer and save my settings in a response file, from the
window, Select installation, response file creation, or both. We recommend this
option because the settings for the installation are verified during the installation
process. The response file is ready for distribution when generated.
To generate a response file only, select Save my installation setting in a
response file from the window, Select installation, response file creation, or both.

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.
