The IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere Application Server creates install packages for installing WebSphere Application Server in a reliable and repeatable way, tailored to your specific needs.
Read through this topic and its related topics to prepare for creating and installing customized installation packages (CIPs). Become familiar with the packages and installation options before you start to use the installation tools. See Installation Factory overview for a full overview of the Installation Factory product.
