[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows]This topic applies only on the IBM i operating system.

IIP installation selection

Use this panel to install the integrated installation package (IIP).

To view this installation panel, run the installer program found in the IIP directory:

See Installing an IIP silently for a full list of silent installation parameters. Click Next on the Welcome panel.

You must use the Installation Factory to create an IIP before you can install the IIP. See Developing and installing integrated installation packages for more information about creating an IIP. To install an IIP silently see Installing an IIP silently.

An IIP is comprised of contributions, which are installable packages like WebSphere® Application Server, Network Deployment Version 6.1 or the Feature Pack for Web Services. Each package is listed in the main table in addition to various properties like installation mode, installation directory, and so on. You can only modify those properties which the IIP creator designated as editable during IIP creation.

The installation wizard installs each contribution in the order which was defined by the IIP creator during IIP creation. Although the IIP does not perform any prerequisite checking, each contribution will perform its own checking and will fail if the machine has not met the prerequisites. If you are installing multiple feature packs, refer to the online documentation for guidance concerning version synchronization requirements.

Restriction: You can only modify those properties which the IIP creator designated as editable during IIP creation.

[iSeries] If an IIP contains multiple contributions which are capable of installing remotely to IBM® i (which is the case with several of the WebSphere Application Server install packages), the user will need to authenticate with the remote system each time a contribution is invoked, instead of once for the entire IIP. If you are including a feature pack CIP, please note that you cannot install a feature pack or interim fixes remotely using a CIP. You must run the CIP locally on your IBM i machine using the command-line interface. For information on installing the product without any fixes, remotely from a Windows® workstation, see the Installing a CIP using a Windows workstation graphical interface document.

Installation packages

Specifies the packages included in the IIP and their properties. You can reorder the columns for easier viewing.

Select one of the following options to work with the selected installation package:

Button Resulting action
Modify Allows you to modify the properties of the selected installation package. This opens the Modify installer properties panel. You can only modify those properties which the IIP creator designated as editable during IIP creation.
View Log Allows you to view the installation log for the selected installation package if the log exists.
View IIP Log Allows you to view the overall IIP log. You can also view the log at IIP_root/iip/logs/log.txt.
About Specifies information about the IIP.

Description

Specifies the package description for the selected contribution that was entered by the IIP creator in the IIP Build definition wizard.

Installation progress

Indicates the installation progress of the currently installing package and the progress of the overall IIP installation. This field can also indicate a next action for the user if one of the packages fails to install successfully.

Click Install to start the installation process.

If you click Cancel at any time during the installation, the current package will continue installing until completed but the next contribution will not be installed. You can modify the remaining contributions and continue the installation or you can choose to exit the installation wizard.

Click Finish to exit the installation wizard after all selected packages have been installed.
