Custom properties using Installation Manager to install Jazz CLM in silent mode?
Hello!
Installing Jazz CLM solution in silent mode, we use next steps:
1. Looking up for available packages with commands like to next:
cd <INSTALLATION_MANAGER_DIR>/eclipse/tools
./imcl listAvailablePackages -repositories /opt/websphere/JTS-CCM-QM-RM-repo-4.0.5/ -features -long
2. For each package displayed in step 1, we use a command like to:
./imcl install com.ibm.team.install.jfs.app.jts_4.0.1000.RJF-I20121109-1457-r401- -acceptLicense -installationDirectory
/opt/websphere/IBM/JazzTeamServer-4.0.1 -repositories /opt/websphere/JTS-CCM-QM-RM-repo-4.0.5 -
showVerboseProgress -nl ru
It works fine but there's a little problem here. These commands set Jazz CLM in default mode (we can not set custom properties for the installation). For example, we can not find any web applications for deployment to Websphere Application Server (only "tomcat" folder). As well, we use Installation Manager 32-bit (we can not replace it currently) but we need to setup Jazz CLM in 64-bit mode. Guys, may be somebody does have an expirience of Jazz CLM installation in silent mode and could easily to give a recommendation for us.
I will be very much appreciate for any advice. Thank you very much in advance!

I have not tried the installation manager setup, but perhaps this link may be able to help with some workarounds/install paths: https://jazz.net/library/article/1296

The installation is performed in several steps:
1. Installation of Jazz CLM packages
2. Deployment of web applications with "clm_deploy.py" script
3. something else
The main problem here is that we have to install Jazz CLM packages before we can use "clm_deploy.py". But we can not use GUI interface of Installation Manager because of server constraints. Accordingly, we don't have neither "webapps" folder (which is installed when we choose "Custom Setup" way using GUI interface of Installation Manager) because "tomcat' folder is installed by default.
Besides, we can not choose 32-bit or 64-bit kind of installation.
It's unclear how to correctly perform step 1 to go to step 2 afterwards. We can not find any web applications to use "clm_deploy.py" script because they are absent if we use ./imcl install... construction.
Silent installation with Installation Manager normally involves a response file which you can put many parameters there, but I don't see you mention it at all. Are you using it or not?
Basically you create the response file by running the IM with the GUI and run IM again in CLI mode (supposedly on a different machine) for the silent installation. Of course you can create/modify the response file by hand.
