Chapter 12. Installation options This appendix describes methods for performing automated installations of Netfinity Manager and creating customized Netfinity Manager installations. Automated installation If the system has a CID-enabled (CID stands for customization, installation, and distribution) software distribution manager utility (such as LAN CID, included with IBM Network Transport Services/2), Netfinity Manager can be installed on systems within the network by using the Netfinity Manager installation program command line parameters and response file. First, a source directory must be created for the installation. To create a source directory for a Client Services for Netfinity Manager installation: 1. Create a new directory on your system. This new directory will serve as a source directory for the program files. 2. Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for Netfinity Manager directory location on the CD-ROM to source directory you created. For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager Services for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the created directory. To create a source directory for a Netfinity Manager installation: 1. Create a new directory on your system. This new directory will serve as a source directory for the program files. Important: Be sure to copy the Client Services for Netfinity Manager source files before the copying the Netfinity Manager source files because the Netfinity Manager directory contains some files that will overwrite files from the Client Services for Netfinity Manager directory. Only Netfinity Manager installations can be done from this directory. 2. Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for Netfinity Manager directories. For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the source directory. 3. Copy the files from the appropriate Netfinity Manager directory. For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/MANAGER directory into the source directory. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1999 67

Chapter 12. Installation options
This appendix describes methods for performing automated installations of Netfinity
Manager and creating customized Netfinity Manager installations.
Automated installation
If the system has a CID-enabled (CID stands for customization, installation, and
distribution) software distribution manager utility (such as LAN CID, included with
IBM Network Transport Services/2), Netfinity Manager can be installed on systems
within the network by using the Netfinity Manager installation program command
line parameters and response file.
First, a source directory must be created for the
installation.
To create a source directory for a Client Services for Netfinity Manager installation:
1. Create a new directory on your system.
This new directory will serve as a
source directory for the program files.
2. Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for Netfinity Manager
directory location on the CD-ROM to source directory you created.
For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager
Services for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into
the created directory.
To create a source directory for a Netfinity Manager installation:
1. Create a new directory on your system.
This new directory will serve as a
source directory for the program files.
Important:
Be sure to copy the Client Services for Netfinity Manager source files before
the copying the Netfinity Manager source files because the Netfinity Manager
directory contains some files that will overwrite files from the Client Services for
Netfinity Manager directory.
Only Netfinity Manager installations can be done
from this directory.
2. Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for Netfinity Manager
directories.
For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager
for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the source
directory.
3. Copy the files from the appropriate Netfinity Manager directory.
For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager
for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/MANAGER directory into the source
directory.
