5. Create a module that puts the SDAPROF.INI in the root of C: a. In the ImageUltra Builder program, click the Applications tab and select Insert →Application. b. Step through the New Module Wizard. Figure 1-139 Module for copying the sdaprof.ini c. When the module properties window pops up, click the Source tab and type in the location of a batch file that will copy the SDAPROF.INI from the IBM Service Partition to the root of C:\. For our example the file is called copyini.bat and resides in the D:\Source\sdaprof directory. Example 1-2 Batch file that copies the Sdaprof.ini to the root of C:\ (copyini.bat) Rem copies the SDAPROF.INI from the IBM Service PArtition to C:\ copy d:\IUTEMP\SDAPROF.INI c:\ Note: This module will execute during the auditboot cycle; at this stage of the process, the IBM Service Partition has the drive letter D:. 6. Create a module that starts the SDA installer automatically. a. In the ImageUltra Builder program, click the Applications tab and select Insert →Application. b. Step through the New Module Wizard. 126 ThinkVantage Technologies: Using ImageUltra Builder
Figure 1-140 Create a module that automatically starts SDA Installer c. When the module properties window pops up, click the Source tab and type in the location of a batch file that will start the SDA installer under the Source directory field. For our example, the file is called sda.bat and resides in the D:\Source\SDA Autostart directory. Example 1-3 Batch file to start SDA Installer (sda.bat) Rem Autostart the SDA Installer c:\SDA\SWSELECT.EXE C:\SDA\WAIT 5 C:\SDA\SSWAIT.EXE Note: SSWait.exe is a program, included with the SDA source files, that waits until the SDA installer has finished before returning control to the process. Wait.com is not part of the SDA code; it puts a small delay in to make sure that SSWait.exe kicks in properly. If you do not have wait.com, you can use any utility that performs the same function. SDA image on a server Another method of integrating your SDA image into an ImageUltra solution is to include a shortcut that points the user toward a server location where the SDA image resides. This method can be used when the SDA image is large in size. For our example, the SDA image is on a server with IP address 10.1.1.1 in the shared folder SDA. We will build a module that puts a batch file on the user’s hard disk. This batch file will connect to the server share, run the SDA install and then disconnect from the server again. A shortcut to the batch file will also be placed on the desktop. 1. Create a batch file that will connect to the server share and start the SDA install. In our example, we used the following file: Example 1-4 Batch file for connecting to SDA share on server (connect.bat) Chapter 1. ImageUltra Builder 127
