IBM® Installation Manager is a common installer for many IBM software products that you use to install this WebSphere® Application Server feature pack.
This feature pack is one of the first WebSphere Application Server products to be installed by Installation Manager rather than by the programs based on InstallShield MultiPlatform (ISMP) that are used to install, update, and uninstall previous versions of WebSphere Application Server.
Installation Manager is a single installation program that can use remote or local software repositories to install, modify, or update new WebSphere Application Server products. It determines and shows available packages—including products, fix packs, interim fixes, and so on—checks prerequisites and interdependencies, and installs the selected packages. You also use Installation Manager to easily uninstall the packages that it installed.

Perform one of these procedures to install or uninstall the feature pack using Installation Manager.
When you have finished the installation, you can create a WebSphere Application Server runtime environment that includes the feature pack's functions. To use the feature-pack functionality, you must create a new profile with the feature-pack functionality or augment an existing profile with the feature pack.
