Use the IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere Extended
Deployment to create a customized installation package (CIP) .
A CIP contains a single product installation package and various optional
assets.
About this task
Using the Installation Factory, you create a CIP by combining
a single product component with maintenance packages, customization
scripts, and other files.
Procedure
- Download the Installation Factory for WebSphere Extended
Deployment. See the IBM Support
and downloads Web site for more information.
- Prepare your environment to support a customized product
installation. See Planning the installation
for
more information.
- To install a CIP, create a build definition file that generates
the customized package. The Installation Factory uses the
build definition file, which is an XML document, to generate the CIP.
What to do next
You can create a profile, or augment
an existing profile, by using the WebSphere Extended
Deployment Profile wizard.
