Hi,
Another problem with a silent install.
Trying to install WebSphereMQMDV6.0.2.0EnUs.exe refresh pack silently:
WebSphereMQMDV6.0.2.0EnUs.exe -s -a MQPLOG="D:\MQPATCHLOG.LOG" MQPBACKUPPATH="D:\BACKUP" MQPSILENT=1
It does the extraction silently, but when the installation begins, there is some dialogs box and I cannot have that.
In the doc (Quick beginning v6.0) MQPSIENT=1 is for silent. Then why do I get interaction?
I must have a totaly non-interactive installation.
Is the a bug with the file WebSphereMQMDV6.0.2.0EnUs.exe?
Tks |

Having just tried this myself I would suspect it to be the file check dialogue box, which waits for the 'Install' button to be clicked.
I tried it myself with:
"D:\WMQ6RFP2\WebSphereMQMDV6.0.2.0EnUs.exe" -s -a MQPLOG="D:\RFP2.LOG" MQPBACKUPPATH="D:\WMQ6RFP2\CSD" MQPSILENT=1 MQPINUSEOK=1
And Windows Task Manager showed 0 CPU use at the point when the 'Checking Files' dialogue box would appear in a non-silent install, presumably waiting on user action to continue.

Works here... Using process explorer, whats the command line of amqicsdn when the dialog box is being displayed (Note the -a passes parms to amqicsdn, and MQPSILENT=1 avoids the dialog box).
Does the log file say "SILENT is on;"? |

I missed the fact that amqicsdn.exe runs in the background so misinterpreted zero cpu and pegged memory as a hang.
Trying it again now but it seems to be taking an inordimately long time to complete and, yes, the log says "SILENT is on;".
The process finally completed and initiated a reboot. It seems that silent takes far longer than interactive - no progress bar to reference!

| I think its more the case that there are a lot more tiny files each of which gets checked, backedup and copied so 6.0.2.0 installation as a whole feels a lot slower to me. I had the same thing, and checking the log it all seemed to revolve around eclipse plugins... |

6.0.2.0 provides several major eclipse enhancements, including adding JMSAdmin to the MQ Explorer.
Eclipse tends to like to run jar2jxe on new plugins. This can take a while.
The Installer probably tries to launch the MQexplorer in a headless mode to allow this work to be done "at installation time" instead of making you wait a long time the first time you launch it after updating.
It should not run FOREVER, though.

Thanks guys, feedback much appreciated. I tend to use MO71 in preference to WMQ Explorer (faster and less hassle regarding viewing clusters) so I wouldn't necessarily see any latency in launch of WMQE!
