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 customiza-
tion, installation, and distribution) software distribution man-
ager 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 pro-

source directory you created.
For example, when creating a source directory to dis-

the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the
created directory.

from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the source
directory.
