4. Launch the SMAsetup_.EXE program that you downloaded from the Internet, where stands for the language variation you are using. For instance, the English version of the executable is SMAsetup_en.exe. 5. Wait until you see the Welcome window. Then minimize the SMA setup window, or bring up the command or Explorer window without exiting the SMA setup. 6. Locate the pft*~tmp folder, where * stands for one or more random characters. If you’re running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME, you will find this directory in the C:\Windows\TEMP directory. On Windows NT 4.0 Workstation or Windows NT 4.0 Server, you will find this directory in the C:\Temp directory. On Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows XP Professional, you will find it in the C:\Document and Settings\\Local Settings\Temp\ directory. Note: The Local Settings Folder may be hidden by default. Select Tools →Folder Options →View and click Show hidden files and folders if the Local Settings Folder is not displayed. 7. Copy the folder to the location where you want to keep the install files and rename it if you wish to do so (this folder location will be used in the next steps), then cancel SMA InstallShield setup. 8. From the command line, run setup -r on a system which has the same configuration as the system for which you are creating the silent install. The executable setup.exe is located in the setup directory you just copied in the Disk1 folder. This will create an InstallShield response file named setup.iss in the C:\windows or C:\winnt directory (depending on your operating system). For more information on the setup command, see various articles on silent installation at http://support.installshield.com/. 9. Now you are ready to install SMA in silent mode. To do so, copy the setup.iss file to the setup directory you created previously and from the command line run setup –s –SMS. Alternatively, you can run setup.exe -s –SMS –f1\setup.iss, where the f1 parameter denotes the location of setup.iss file. 10.When the install has completed, open the setup.log file located in the setup directory and locate the ResultCode variable in the [ResponseResult] field. If Resultcode = 0, the installation completed successfully. Common error values are: -3 Required data not found in SETUP.ISS file -5 File does not exist -8 Invalid path to the InstallShield response file -12 Dialogs are out of order 1.24.3 Integration with Software Delivery Assistant (SDA) There are two ways of integrating your Software Delivery Assistant image into the ImageUltra Builder process. Here are a few examples. SDA module with menu integration Here we will show an example of how to integrate an SDA Image into an ImageUltra image. We will create a module that contains the SDA Image. The user will select their business group from the ImageUltra menu. A utility will create an SDAPROF.INI that contains the appropriate business group. This file will reside in the IBM Service Partition (the only partition available at this stage). We will need to create another module that will copy the 122 ThinkVantage Technologies: Using ImageUltra Builder
SDAPROF.INI to the root of C: during the auditboot cycle.The SDA module will install during the ImageUltra installation process. It will pick up the SDAPROF.INI in C:\ and install the applications for the group the user selected earlier. Note: This example assumes that we are not selecting a direct network install. Instead, we are deploying to the service partition. The benefit of doing this is that we have one flow, with minimal user interaction (the user only selects his/her options in the ImageUltra menu). Here is what you need to do: 1. Create a base map that contains Menu Items matching your SDA groups. Figure 1-134 Integrating SDA, base map 2. For each of the Menu Items, create a utility that writes the appropriate SDAPROF.IN a. In the ImageUltra Builder program, click the Utility tab and select Insert →Utility. b. Step through the New Module Wizard. c. When the module properties window pops up, click the Source tab and type in the location of your the batch file that creates the SDAPROF.INI for that specific Menu Item under the Source directory field. For our example, the file for the Finance item is called FINANCE>BAT and is located in D:\Source\Utilities. Chapter 1. ImageUltra Builder 123
