[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows]This topic applies only on the i5/OS operating system.

Getting started with the Installation Factory

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

  1. 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:
    • [AIX] [HP-UX] [Linux] [Solaris] The Installation Factory on these operating systems can create installation packages for all supported platforms except i5/OS.
    • [Windows] The Installation Factory on Windows operating systems can create installation packages for Windows and i5/OS.
    • [iSeries] i5/OS users must install the Installation Factory on a Windows platform. The Installation Factory does not run on an i5/OS platform.
  2. 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.
