A build definition file is an XML file that identifies components
and characteristics for a customized installation package (CIP).
In some cases, you might be unable to use the
IBM® WebSphere® Installation Factory console
(
ifgui command) on the target operating system platform.
- Use the console in disconnected mode on a supported machine to create
a build definition file for the target operating system on another machine.
Then
copy the file to the target operating system and use the command line interface
to start the processing engine and create the customized installation package.
See Creating build definitions for another machine for a description
of such a procedure.
Review one of the sample build definition documents in the IF_root/samples/was directory to learn more.
