Download and configure the IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere
Application Server on your system before creating an customized
installation package (CIP) or an integrated installation
package (IIP).
Before you begin
To set up Installation Factory, you can either use the Installation
Factory code copied from the WebSphere Application Server product Supplements
disc or use the code downloaded from the Installation Factory Web site. The
advantage to downloading the code from the Web site is that you will be downloading
the latest version of the product.
Procedure
- Download the Installation Factory image.
Download the code from
the IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere Application
Server V6.1 releases.
You can create installation packages for
operating systems other than the one on which Installation Factory is running:
- i5/OS users must install the Installation Factory on
a Windows platform. The Installation Factory does not run on an i5/OS platform.
- Unpack the code to any directory for which you have the appropriate
permissions.
Results
You have installed the Installation Factory product.
What to do next
After you have installed the Installation Factory product you
can start creating installation packages. See Installation Factory overview for
more information about the different types of packages you can create.
