IIP package identification

Use the Package identification panel to specify a universally unique identifier for the integrated installation package (IIP).

Identifier

Specifies a unique identifier for your IIP.

Type a descriptor. For example, if you work in a test environment, you might use com.ibm.toronto.test.was to identify test IIPs that you create. Suppose that you work in IT for the sports information department at a local university. You might use edu.abc.sid.was as an identifer for IIPs that you create to install WebSphere Application Server updates on machines used by the media.

The package identifier is designed to be universally unique. You can install multiple IIPs on a single installation. A unique reverse domain notation with a version number is recommended.

Click Next.

Version

Specifies a version number to help identify IIPs that you create

For example, the version field is populated with 1.0.0.0. You might want to start with that value and increment later IIP versions. The version number of the IIP does not have to reflect the version number of the product.

Full package identifier

Specifies the concatenation of the previous two fields and is read-only.

The Installation Factory uses this unique identifier as the name of a directory that holds the customized installation package. For example, the full package identifier might be edu.abc.was_1.0.0.0.

File paths and file names must comply with the following guidelines:
  • [Windows] Contain 35 or fewer characters on Windows platforms
  • Start and end with English-only alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z) or numbers (0-9) only
  • Contain English-only alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), periods (.) or underscores (_) only
  • Not contain special characters (such as à é í ö û æ ñ ☐)
  • Not contain spaces or these characters: ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & ( ) { } [ ] | \ / : ; , ? ' " < = > + *
