Installation factory<br />

The Installation Factory is an Eclipse-based tool that allows the creation of<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> installation packages in a reliable and repeatable<br />

way tailored to your needs.<br />

The installation factory is part of the <strong>WebSphere</strong> deliverable on a separate media<br />

and download. Updates to the installation factory are available through the<br />

following Web page:<br />

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg24020213<br />

The Installation Factory can produce two types of packages:<br />

► Customized Installation Packages (CIP)<br />

A <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> CIP package includes a <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> product, product maintenance, profile customization,<br />

enterprise archives, other user files as well as user-defined scripting.<br />

► Integrated Installation Packages (IIP)<br />

An IIP can be used to install a full <strong>WebSphere</strong> software stack including<br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong>s, feature pack, and other user files and might even contain<br />

multiple CIPs.<br />

The Installation Factory allows you to create one installation package to install<br />

the full product stack you need to run your applications. Using the scripting<br />

interface you can ship and install components not related to the <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

installation process.<br />

Note: The <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>WebSphere</strong> Installation Factory <strong>V7.0</strong> is backwards-compatible<br />

with <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> V6.1 and allows you to create <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

V6.1 and <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong> installation packages.<br />

Depending on the platform on which you are running the Installation Factory, you<br />

can build installation packages for operating systems other than the one on<br />

which the Installation Factory is running. The Installation Factory running on AIX,<br />

HP-UX, Linux, and Solaria operating systems can create installation packages<br />

for all supported platforms. The Installation Factory running on Windows can<br />

create installation packages for Windows and i5/OS®.<br />
