A CIP is a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product bundled with one or more maintenance packages, an optional configuration archive, one or more optional enterprise archive files, and other optional files and scripts:
/usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/cip/cip_uid
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/cip/cip_uid
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/cip/cip_uid
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/cip/cip_uid
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\cip\cip_uid
The cip_uid variable is the CIP unique ID generated during creation of the build definition file. You can override the generated value in the Build definition wizard. Use a unique value to allow multiple CIPs to install on the system.
