Installing Installation Manager 1.5 on Linux | Santosh Nair's WebSphere And Unix Study Notes

Installation Manager Wizards guide you through the steps that you must take to install, modify, update, roll back, or uninstall your IBM products.
Use Installation Manager to install individual software packages on your local machine

The WAS v8 installation GUI has been changed since WAS v7.
A major benefit is that IIM provides a common installation interface for many products

Prior to the WAS 8 release, each OS version of WAS required separate downloads.
Using a repository system now saves many hours of download and also disk space and simplifies the management of different installation packages.
