Can we install applications over IBM Installation Manager with this plugin? #1

Hi,

We couldn't understand if does plugin allow us to use IBM IM to apply fixpack, for example, through UCD.

Hi,

This plug-in can be used to install or upgrade through the IBM Installation Manager. You'll want to use the Install or Upgrade IBM Installation Manager step.

Hi,

Can you share an example of flow?

nhmathis commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I was a slightly mistaken, the Install/Upgrade and Uninstall steps take advantage of the installc/userinstc and uninstallc/userinstc commands. (Exact command is based on admin/non-admin user.) These commands are used for installing/upgrading/uninstalling IBM Installation Manager itself.

The Execute Response File step uses the imcl command line interface to install other products.

Unfortunately, I do not have any sample flows to share. However, this plugin step follows the imcl documentation closely. Using the imcl documenation, you should be able to construct the proper plugin configuration. If you are still having trouble, you can run the same imcl command through a Shell step as well.

I got it, this plugin allows us to install/uninstall IBM Installation Manager itself, and not use it's capability on installing a FixPack at WebSphere Application Server, for example. Am I Right?

If so, Would you know how to install FixPack over UrbanCode?

nhmathis commented 6 years ago

You should be able to install any product's fixpack through the Execute Response File step.

If you have trouble, simply run the imcl cli through a UCD Shell step. (imcl documentation is linked above.) If configuring this imcl call is new to you, I suggest trying to run it manually first.

AH ok, would you have an example on Execute Response File or imcl?

Unfortunately, I do not. Searching the IBM Knowledge Center for the imcl documentation is likely your best path to success.
