Installing
DB2
servers
using
response
files
Response
file
installation
basics
Unlike
the
DB2
Setup
wizard,
a
DB2
response
file
installation
lets
you
install
DB2
products
without
any
user
interaction.
A
response
file
is
a
text
file
that
contain
setup
and
configuration
information.
A
response
file
specifies
configuration
and
setup
parameters
and
the
products
and
components
to
install.
This
method
is
useful
not
only
for
large-scale
deployments
of
DB2
products,
but
also
for
embedding
the
DB2
installation
process
transparently
inside
your
customized
installation
and
configuration
procedure.
You
can
create
a
response
file
by
any
of
the
following
methods:
v
Modifying
one
of
the
sample
response
files
that
are
provided.
Sample
response
files
are
located
in
the
DB2
product
CD
under
the
directory:
db2/platform/samples
where
platform
refers
to
the
appropriate
hardware
platform.
v
Using
the
DB2
Setup
wizard
to
save
the
setup
and
configuration
data
according
to
the
input
you
provided.
If
you
choose
the
option
to
create
a
response
file
in
the
DB2
Setup
Wizard,
the
response
files
(one
for
the
server,
and
one
for
the
partition,
if
you
are
setting
up
a
multi-partitioned
environment)
will
be
saved
by
default
at
this
location.
The
default
names
of
the
files
are
name1
and
name2.
v
Using
the
response
file
generator
to
create
a
response
file
from
an
existing
installed
and
configured
DB2
product
(Windows
only).
A
response
file
installation
can
also
be
referred
to
as
a
silent
installation
or
an
unattended
installation.
