Install/Update Support...

I just came across this article in the Rational zone of DeveloperWorks:

I haven't had time to absorb it all yet, but I was wondering if any of
the IBMers on this list could comment on how close it is to what would
need to be done to automate WDSC installs?

 

One of our big concerns is that most developers can spend the better
part of a day between doing the initial install, applying patches (from
the local mirror we set up based on Mark Phippard's instructions), and
setting up the standard configuration (including applying the latest WAS
fixpacks).  It'd be nice if we could minimize that pain....developer
starts the install process when they leave one day and has a fully
configured WDSC install when they walk in the next day.

 

Thanks,
