Sample response file

You can use the sample response file in this topic to install Rational® Functional Tester. You must modify the parameter values for your installation environment. For instructions to create a response file, see Creating a response file manually.
Response file: A response file is an XML file that contains the data required to complete installation operations silently. Installation Manager uses response files to complete installation operations silently.

You can record a response file by recording preferences and installation actions in the graphical user interface of Installation Manager. Alternatively, you can create a response file manually by using the documented list of response file commands and preferences.

You can use one response file to install, update, or uninstall multiple products. For more information about response files, see the response file section in the Installation Manager information center.
