The Installation Factory console starts the Product Selection wizard
when you create a new build definition file. The Product Selection wizard
provides several panels for selecting one of the WebSphere products that the
Installation Factory supports.
Identify the WebSphere software product that you intend to install. For
example, you might create a customized installation package (CIP) for the
WebSphere Application Server product.
The wizard provides the following levels of product identifiers:
- Product, such as IBM WebSphere Application Server
- Edition, such as Network Deployment
- Package, such as WebSphere Application Server
For example, choose IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.0 from the
list in the Products field.
In the Edition selection panel, select one of the following editions:
- Express
- WebSphere Application Server - Express
- Base
- WebSphere Application Server
- Network Deployment
- WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
The installation image for any of the WebSphere Application Server product
offerings has four installable components for most operating systems:
- WebSphere Application Server
- Application Client
- IBM HTTP Server
- Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server
At
this time, the only package of the four that the Installation Factory supports
is the WebSphere Application Server package. Select the package in the Package
selection panel. Click
Finish to complete the Product Selection wizard.
