Online and PDF versions

When you are ready to install Cloud Pak for Business Automation, you can choose to use either the PDF files or the HTML pages, or a combination of both.

PDF files help you to install deployments with default values

If you want to install a production Cloud Pak for Business Automation capability, then use the prepared PDF files to help you run the scripts and accept most of the default values that are provided by the operators. For more information, see Installing a pattern by following the instructions in PDF files. The PDF files are compiled from the HTML pages on IBM Docs, so everything that you find in the PDF files is also in the HTML pages. The order of the steps is the same in HTML as it is in PDF. The only difference is that the HTML pages contain all of the customization steps for all of the capabilities. The PDF files reduce the number of steps to follow by using a default deployment. A useful exercise if you want to see how long it takes to install a default deployment on one of your clusters, and your intention is to discover the process.

HTML pages guide you through everything that you can customize

You have many options when installing Cloud Pak for Business Automation. For more information, see Review your options. When you use the HTML pages to guide you through a Cloud Pak for Business Automation installation, you must find and follow only the steps that apply to the capabilities that you want to install.
