Specify the build settings for your customized installation package (CIP) on the build information panel.
The Build Definition wizard creates the XML build definition file, which specifies the location for outputting the CIP. The name and location of both files are under your control. The build definition file is always saved to a directory path on the Build Definition wizard machine. Name the build definition file in the Build Definition field. You can think of the build definition file as a response file for the processing engine. The XML file provides the information that the processing engine needs to locate all of the components for the CIP. Name the directory where you want to create the CIP in the Customized Installation Package field. The Installation Factory creates a compressed file containing the CIP and stores the file in the directory name that you specify.
The processing engine reads the CIP location from the build definition file to determine where to store the CIP.
You can type the file and directory locations directly into the fields. Or, in connected mode, click Browse to search for and select either an existing build definition file or an existing CIP. The CIP directory path is on the target machine, when you are working in disconnected mode you must type in the appropriate path and that path must be appropriate for the remote system. For example the build definition directory path and file names could be:
and the corresponding CIP build directory paths could be:
Validation is performed when you click Next. Validation consists of checking that the build directory path is in the correct format.
