Install a customized installation package (CIP) for the feature pack.
Before you use the installation tools, read this topic to prepare for installation and to learn about installation options. Also read the hardware and software requirements on the Supported hardware and software Web site to get started.
The installation procedure requires the
installer ID to have the following advanced user rights, Act as part
of the operating system and Log on as a service to
install Windows services.
For more supported software information, see the WebSphere® Application Server detailed system requirements.
The installer ID can be
a non-root user ID. However, some installation procedures might require the
installer ID to be the root user. For detailed information on non-root limitations
see, Limitations of non-root installers.
As of Version 6.1.0.13 you must keep the version levels of the application server and any installed feature packs synchronized to the same maintenance level. If you have any feature packs installed, then it is recommended that you use the Update Installer to synchronize your environment before installing any additional Installation Factory packages. In fact, you will either be blocked from installing or prompted to upgrade during the installation of a feature pack CIP if your versions are not the same. If you are prompted and do not provide the proper maintenance packages you will be blocked from installing the CIP.
You can slip install, or update, an existing application server that contains one or more feature packs with an IIP as long as all packages in the IIP are at the same maintenance level. You can alsoscratch install an IIP containing the application server and one or more feature packs onto a machine with no existing application server as long as all included packages are at the same maintenance level. Read the Working with feature packs topic for more information. You must use Installation Factory version 6.1.0.17 or later if you want to use an IIP to update a feature pack environment.
If you are installing the Feature Pack for Web Services for the first time, then it is recommended that you create a CIP containing the feature pack and the most recent fix pack. Otherwise if you have already installed the Feature Pack for Web Services with the regular installer, you need to include a mandatory interim fix before installing a CIP containing any feature pack fix packs. See Installing and configuring multiple feature packs for additional information regarding feature pack installation and other considerations.gotchaThis topic describes how to install the product using a CIP. A CIP installation runs the installation wizard in graphical interface mode or in silent mode.

You can install a feature pack CIP on top of an existing product installation.
