You can edit or add to the properties of an IIP to further customize
the installation.
About this task
To change the properties of an IIP, modify the existing build definition
file. The steps involved are similar to the ones you complete when you create
a new build definition file.
Procedure
- Launch the Installation Factory by running theifgui.bat | ifgui.sh script
from the IF_HOME/bin/ directory.
- Click the Open Build Defintion icon, and select the build
definition file that you want to modify.
- Select the specific properties of the IIP that you want to modify.
The following list contains the possible modifications that you can
make:
- Change your current mode selection. In connected mode, you create
the build definition for use, and optionally generate the IIP, from your current
workstation. In disconnected mode, you create the build definition file for
use on another workstation.
- Add or remove the existing operating systems that the IIP supports.
- Edit the existing identifier and version for the IIP.
- Edit the target location for the build definition file.
- Edit the target location for the IIP.
- Change whether or not to display an installation wizard for the IIP.
The wizard provides information about the IIP and the installation options
when the IIP runs.
- Add, remove, and edit the installation packages that are contained
in the IIP.
Important: If you added a supported operating system
and you have not updated the properties of the installation package in the
IIP, you receive a warning message stating that the selected contributions
do not contain installation packages that are identified for all of the operating
systems that the IIP supports. Click Yes to continue, or click No to
edit the installation package.
- Edit any additional files or directories that the IIP contains.
- Edit the additional information about the IIP.
- Review the summary of your selections, select Save build definition
file and generate integrated installation package, and click Finish.
Alternatively, you can choose to save the build definition file without
generating the IIP. Run the ifcli.bat | ifcli.sh script
from the IF_HOME/bin/ directory.
