An integrated installation package (IIP) is an aggregated installation package created with the IBM® WebSphere® Installation Factory that can include one or more generally available installation packages, one or more customized installation packages (CIPs), and other user-specified files and directories. An IIP is a composite installer which aggregates multiple product installers together under one package. The IIP invokes these contributions one after the other in a predefined sequence and in a coordinated manner to complete an end-to-end installation.
Read through this topic and its related topics to prepare for creating and installing IIPs. Become familiar with IIP installation options before you start to use the installation tools. Review the Supported hardware and software before you start.
If you encounter a problem such as needing more disk space or more temporary space, or missing prerequisite packages on your system, cancel the installation, make the required changes, and restart the installation.
This topic is an overview of creating and installing an IIP. Get started by downloading the Installation Factory and setting up your system environment to use the product. See Installing the IBM WebSphere Installation Factory for more information.
The following procedure describes how to get started creating and installing an IIP.
You can use an IIP to install an IBM WebSphere ESB product stack by following this procedure. For example, you can create an IIP which aggregates process server and feature pack installers into one package.
