A slip installation involves moving an existing WebSphere® ESB installation to a higher maintenance level of WebSphere ESB with or without additional features.
If you have an existing installation of WebSphere ESB at a certain maintenance level, you can use a customized installation package (CIP), which contains an installation of WebSphere ESB at a higher maintenance level, to move your installation to this higher maintenance level. Such an installation is referred to as a slip installation.
A slip installation can optionally include fix packs and additional features.
Slip installation is not supported on a remote i5/OS® system. In this case a local
silent installation must be performed.
