the same directory as the
IBMOptim.exe file,
the file is renamed to
installer.properties.
Use this command:
IBMOptim.exe –i silent

the
optim_installer.properties file is in a directory
different from that for the
IBMOptim.exe file,
use the command:
IBMOptim.exe -f directorypath\optim_installer.properties
where directorypath is
the fully-qualified path to the directory for the optim_installer.properties file.
