Scripting Build Forge install and updates in Linux?


Eric Anderson (2676) | asked Dec 16 '10, 3:01 p.m.
Hello all,

We are looking for a way to script the install of Build Forge on a clean system. Does anyone have experience doing this?

Ideally, we would download the IBM Installation Manager and the Build Forge files and then have a script that extracts the files and then runs installs Build Forge to desired directories, sets up databases, etc.

If you are already doing this and wouldn't mind sharing your script, please let me know.

Thanks,
Eric

the easiest way to do this is with an install manager response file
how to record an IM response file:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1m0r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.silentinstall.doc/topics/t_creating_response_files11.html

then look at the link there on "Running the Installation Manager in Silent Mode"

this is the method used in build verification testing at the end of each buildforge build.
