Prepare the centralized installation manager (CIM) for
use in your application server environment.
Before you begin
Create the CIM repository on the deployment manager using
IBM® WebSphere® Installation Factory Version
7.0.0.15 or later. The
IBM WebSphere Installation Factory is included
with WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 7.0,
or you can download the latest version from the IBM website. For more
information, read the "Installing Network Deployment" topic.
Restriction: Only Network Deployment packages and Network Deployment
customized installation packages are supported in a CIM repository.
What to do next
Use the CIM to download and install packages to targets
in a cell or review the CIM usage scenarios.
