This topic describes how to create a build definition and CIP when the processing engine and the Build definition wizard are on the same machine.
If you are creating a build definition for the processing engine that runs on another machine, see Creating a CIP build definition for another machine.
As of Version 6.1.0.13 you must keep the version levels of the application server and any installed feature packs synchronized to the same maintenance level. If you have any feature packs installed, then it is recommended that you use the Update Installer to synchronize your environment before installing any additional Installation Factory packages. In fact, you will either be blocked from installing or prompted to upgrade during the installation of a feature pack CIP if your versions are not the same. If you are prompted and do not provide the proper maintenance packages you will be blocked from installing the CIP.
You can slip install, or update, an existing application server that contains one or more feature packs with an IIP as long as all packages in the IIP are at the same maintenance level. You can alsoscratch install an IIP containing the application server and one or more feature packs onto a machine with no existing application server as long as all included packages are at the same maintenance level. Read the Working with feature packs topic for more information. You must use Installation Factory version 6.1.0.17 or later if you want to use an IIP to update a feature pack environment.
If you are installing the Feature Pack for Web Services for the first time, then it is recommended that you create a CIP containing the feature pack and the most recent fix pack. Otherwise if you have already installed the Feature Pack for Web Services with the regular installer, you need to include a mandatory interim fix before installing a CIP containing any feature pack fix packs. See Installing and configuring multiple feature packs for additional information regarding feature pack installation and other considerations.gotchaTo create a customized installation package (CIP), first create a build definition file, which the Installation Factory uses to generate the CIP. The build definition file describes exactly what the Installation Factory includes in the CIP so that you can achieve the installation customizations that you require. Use the following procedure to create the build definition document and the customized installation package on one machine.
