Creating and installing customized packages

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.

Before you begin

Before you create and install customized packages for WebSphere® Extended Deployment, you must first download the IBM® Installation Factory for WebSphere Application Server from the Installation Factory for WebSphere Application Server Web site.

For more information about the Installation Factory for WebSphere Application Server, see Getting started with the Installation Factory .

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

  1. Download the Installation Factory for WebSphere Extended Deployment. See the IBM Support and downloads Web site for more information.
  2. Prepare your environment to support a customized product installation. See Planning the installation for more information.
  3. 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.
