Using the Installation Factory plug-in to create and install customized packages

Use the Installation Factory plug-in to create a customized installation package (CIP) or an integrated installation package (IIP). A CIP contains a single product installation package and various optional assets. An IIP combines one or more installation packages into a single installation workflow that you design.

Before you begin

Note: Do not augment profiles for the product during the installation of WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version 6.1. If your environment contains WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 7.0, you must install WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version 6.1.0.5 before you can augment profiles for the product.

About this task

The Installation Factory plug-in creates installation packages for installing the product in a reliable and repeatable way, tailored to your specific needs. Using the Installation Factory, you create a CIP by combining a single product component with maintenance packages, customization scripts, and other files. When you create an IIP, you aggregate individual components, or installation packages, into a single installation package.
