Using the centralized installation manager to set up your environments

Use the centralized installation manager to simplify the tasks of deploying product components to your product environments.

Before you begin

You must first install the centralized installation manager repository on the deployment manager, and add one or more product components to the repository. Complete this task during the installation process of WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise.

Alternatively, you can use the centralized installation manager repository tool to add one or more product components to the repository. You can optionally install this tool when you install WebSphere Virtual Enterprise only.

About this task

The centralized installation manager installs selected product components from its repository, which is located on the deployment manager, to the nodes. With this feature, you can shorten the number of steps that are required to set up your environments. The various tasks you can complete by using the centralized installation manager include installing product components to target workstations, applying maintenance to server environments, monitoring submitted requests, and creating additional installation targets.
