Re: Trying silent install on MAC

It looks like it might be a classpath issue.


You could try to run with the -skipInstall and use the gui to validate your input xml.

On Windows I'd run something like this:

Installationmanagerfolder\eclipse\IBMIM.exe input pathtoinstallxml\install.xml -record pathtoinstallxml\install2.xml -acceptLicense -skipInstall pathtoinstalltracker -log pathtolog\logfile.log

It should allow you to verify the install.xml and even record a new install2.xml that you can compare to.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Trying silent install on MAC

I've been trying to create a silent install that can be run on several other developers MAC's. I was able to run the install with DISK1 local and create the install.xml file. I then un-installed and cleaned up my MAC and tried to run the silent install from a network drive after adjusting the repository locations in the xml.

I had an issue with the install not able to lock the .fileTableLock on the network, but after adding a line to the config.ini (osgi.locking=none) in the configuration folder, I got past that. Now the install is failing with a pretty large number of errors in the log file.

The log file starts like this:
