Planning which features to install
You can customize your deployment by selecting which features
to install on which system.
When you install the product package with IBM® Installation Manager, the installation wizard displays the features that are available in Rational® Publishing Engine. From the Features list, you can select which features you want to install on a particular system. A default set of features is selected for you. Installation manager automatically enforces any dependencies between features and prevents you from installing a feature without also installing its dependent feature.
