You can customize your software product by selecting the features of IBM® Integration Designer to install.
When you install the IBM Integration Designer product package using IBM Installation Manager, the installation wizard displays the features available in the product package. From the features list, you can select which features to install. A default set of features is selected for you (including any required features). Installation Manager automatically enforces any dependencies between features and prevents you from clearing any required features.
Adapters can be individually selected. Only install the adapters that you will require.
Note: After you finish installing the package, you can still add or
remove features from your software product by running the Modify Packages
wizard in Installation Manager. See Modifying installations for
more information.
