The Installation Factory console starts the Product Selection wizard when you create a new build definition file. The Product Selection wizard provides several panels for selecting one of the WebSphere products that the Installation Factory supports.
Identify the WebSphere software product that you intend to install. For example, you might create a customized installation package (CIP) for the WebSphere Application Server product.
The wizard provides the following levels of product identifiers:
- Product, such as IBM WebSphere Application Server
- Edition, such as Network Deployment
- Package, such as WebSphere Application Server
For example, choose IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.0 from the list in the Products field.
