This topic describes one of several options for installing a customized installation package (CIP) that includes the IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6 product and one or more maintenance packages. This topic describes how to use the CIP Installation wizard to install features that are included in the CIP. The Installation wizard also installs maintenance packages that are included in the CIP.
Before you begin
Why and when to perform this task
Perform the following procedure to add features to an existing WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment installation.
This installation also installs maintenance packages that are included in the CIP.
Steps for this task
This task describes the scenario where a previous installation exists and you are adding features with an incremental installation.
Do not change the installation directory unless another existing installation is in the directory that you specify. An incremental installation adds features to the shared binaries identified in the field.
You can add available CIP features to the binaries at any time, by running the CIP Installation wizard again. Installing additional features does not affect profiles that you might have already created. (Profiles are run-time environments that are described in a later step.)
When adding features during an incremental installation, the wizard displays the Features selection panel next.
Result
The Installation wizard installs the new features in the existing installation root directory. The Installation wizard configures the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product for the new features.
The Installation wizard updates selected features to the new maintenance level. If any maintenance package includes service for an existing profile, the profile is updated to the new service level.
