Use the IBM Installation
Factory plug-in for WebSphere Extended Deployment to install an IIP.
An IIP combines one or more installation packages into a single workflow
that you design.
Before you begin
Create a build definition file to specify what options
to include in the IIP.
About this task
An IIP can include one or more generally available installation
packages, one or more customized installation packages (CIPs), and
other optional files and directories. Create an IIP to aggregate multiple
installation packages, or contributions, into a single package,
and install the contributions one after the other in a specific order
to complete an end-to-end installation.
Procedure
- Run the following script to start the wizard:
IIP_home/bin/install
IIP_home\bin\install.bat
- Click About on the Welcome panel to view the details
of the IIP, such as the package identifier, the supported operating
systems, and the included installation packages.
Optional: To modify the installation options
for each package, click Modify.
Optional: Two View Log buttons are displayed on the wizard
panel. To view the log of each package, click the View Log button
that is displayed next to the table that lists the installation packages.
To view the overall log details of the IIP, click the View Log button
that is displayed next to the status information.
- Select the installation packages to run, and click Install.
A list of all the contributions in the order of invocation that
the IIP contains is displayed. To designate which contribution invocations
should not be run during the installation, clear the checkbox located
next to the Installation name field.
Results
You successfully installed an IIP.
