Download and configure the IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere
Application Server on your system before creating an customized
installation package (CIP).
Before you begin
To set up Installation Factory, you can either use the Installation
Factory code copied from the WebSphere Application Server product Supplements
disc or use the code downloaded from the Installation Factory Web site. The
advantage to downloading the code from the Web site is that you will be downloading
the latest version of the product.
Procedure
- Download the Installation Factory image.
Download
the code from the IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere Application
Server V6.0 releases
- Unpack the code to any directory for which you have the appropriate
permissions.
- Optional: You can also set up
the Installation Factory on your system using the code from the product media.
Copy the Installation Factory code to your operating system using the setupif
command from the InstallationFactory directory on the
Supplements disc.
Run the setupif.sh command.This
command copies the Installation Factory to
user_home/InstallationFactory by
default; but you can specify the target location when you run it. For example:
setupif.sh target_location
Run the setupif.bat command.This
command copies the Installation Factory to
C:\ by default;
but you can specify the target location when you run it. For example:
setupif.bat target_location
Results
You have installed the Installation Factory product.
What to do next
After you have installed the Installation Factory product you
can start creating installation packages. See Installation Factory overview for
more information about the different types of packages you can create.
