An integrated installation package (IIP) is an aggregated installation package created with the IBM® WebSphere® Installation Factory that can include one or more generally available installation packages, one or more customized installation packages (CIPs), and other user-specified files and directories. An IIP is a composite installer which aggregates multiple product installers together under one package. The IIP invokes these contributions one after the other in a predefined sequence and in a coordinated manner to complete an end-to-end installation.
Read through this topic and its related topics to prepare for creating and installing IIPs. Become familiar with IIP installation options before you start to use the installation tools. Review the hardware and software requirements on the Supported hardware and software Web site to get started.
IBM i users must install and run the IBM Installation Factory on a distributed platform. The Installation Factory does not run on an IBM i platform.
If you encounter a problem such as needing more disk space or more temporary space, or missing prerequisite packages on your system, cancel the IIP creation, make the required changes, and restart the IIP creation.
This topic is an overview of creating and installing an IIP. Get started by downloading the Installation Factory and setting up your system environment to use the product. See Getting started with IBM WebSphere Installation Factory for more information.
The following procedure describes how to get started creating and installing an IIP.
You can use an IIP to install an IBM WebSphere Application Server product stack by following this procedure. For example, you can create an IIP which aggregates application server and Web Services or EJB3 feature pack installers into one package.
