quotes to enclose the value.
The parameters can be specified in any order.
Parameter Description
/A=action
Specifies the action to be performed.
If this parameter is present with a valid value, the main
installation utility window is not displayed. In this case, windows
are displayed directly on the OS/2* Workplace Shell.
If you do not use this parameter, the installation and maintenance
utility starts normally with all windows displayed. Values can be
upper or lower case. Valid values for this parameter are:
d For delete
i For install
r For restore
u For update
Use of this parameter requires that the /P parameter also be
specified.
/C=catfilename
Specifies the name and location of the catalog file.
If the catalog file is located on a host system, the host session ID
must precede the catalog file name.
If the catalog file is located on a diskette, LAN, or AS/400 Shared
folder, a drive and directory must precede the catalog file name.
The following are examples of the /C parameter for each source:
Drive
/C=Z:\EPFICAT.CAT
MVS
/C=B:EPF.V1R1M0.SEPFBENU(EPFICAT)
VM
/C="B:EPFICAT ENUEPF11 *"
VSE
/C=B:LIB.SIBLIB.MEMBERNAME.MEMBERTYPE
If this parameter is present, the specified catalog file is
automatically opened.
/G:include path
Specifies the drive and path of the general response files that are
included by the specific response file.
The installation and maintenance utility sets the EPFIGENRESPDIR
installation variable to the include path.
Example:
/G:L:\XYZ
/L=xpos,ypos
Specifies the initial x and y coordinates of the Installation and
Maintenance window on the desktop relative to the lower-left corner
of the screen.
If this parameter is specified, all previously saved default
positions are overridden.
/L1:error log
Specifies the drive, path, and file name of the destination of the
error log file.
The installation and maintenance utility sets the EPFIERRORLOG
installation variable to the error log.
If drive and path are not specified, the drive and path where
EPFINSTS.EXE is running is used. If file name is not specified,
errors are logged to EPFINSTS.OUT.
Example:
/L1:C:\ABC\ERROR.LOG
/L2:history log
Specifies the drive, path, and file name of the destination of the
history log file.
The installation and maintenance utility sets the EPFIHISTORYLOG
installation variable to the history log.
If drive and path are not specified, the drive and path where
EPFINSTS.EXE is running is used.
If this parameter is not specified, no history log is maintained.
Example:
/L2:C:\ABC\HISTORY.LOG
/L3: /L4: /L5:log files
Each of these parameters can contain a drive, path, and file name of
a log file. They are preserved in installation variables EPFIL3LOG,
EPFIL4LOG, and EPFIL5LOG for your use.
/P=prodname
Specifies the name of the product on which the action is performed.
If the product name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double
quotes (").
Sample valid product name specifications:
/P="Product name with spaces"
/P=productname
/R:response file
Specifies the drive, path, and file name of the specific response
file.
The installation and maintenance utility sets the EPFIRESPFILE
installation variable to the response file.
Example:
/R:L:\XYZ\RESPONSE.DAT
/O=source environment
Specifies the source environment (origin) of the installation or
update. Valid values for this parameter are:
o DRIVE
o MVS
o VM
o VSE
This parameter is ignored for a delete or restore action.
/S:source location
Specifies the drive and path that contain the source files to be
installed.
The installation and maintenance utility sets the EPFISOURCEDIR
installation variable to the source location.
Specifying this parameter sets the /S parameter to DRIVE and
overrides the value of the HOSTLOC keyword in the product's catalog
file.
If this parameter is not specified the value of the HOSTLOC keyword
is not overridden.
Example:
/S:L:\XYZ
/T:install target directory
Specifies the drive and path of that the product files are installed
into.

messages are displayed to the user in message boxes.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 19.78. Response file parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In general, the format for parameters within a response file is parameter =
value.
Only one parameter can be specified per line and parameters can occur in any
order.
The following parameters are valid in an installation response file.
Parameter Description
auxn
Specifies the new default path for the auxiliary directory where n
is any number between 1 and 18. (Thus there are 18 possible
auxiliary directories: AUX1, AUX2,...AUX18.) Use this parameter
only for an install action.
comp
Specifies a component within the product for which the operation is
to be performed. Use multiple comp parameters to specify more than
one component. Invalid components are ignored.
cfgupdate
Specifies whether the CONFIG.SYS file is automatically updated.
Valid values for this parameter are AUTO (automatically update
CONFIG.SYS) or MANUAL (do not update CONFIG.SYS). This parameter is
used only for install or update actions and is ignored if any other
action is specified.
copy
Specifies the source and target files for a copy process. The
format of this parameter is:
COPY = from_filespec to_filespec
Where from_filespec is the source file and to_filespec is the
target file. If the to_filespec already exists, it is overwritten.
If either file specification is not valid, the copy is not
performed.
